What's in a name?

[Christopher]

I work for a big office. We have a Ms Twelvetrees and a Ms Fullalove.

Then there was the Royal Navy admiral, Sir Cloudesly Shovell

then the Mather brothers: Cotton and Temperance! Subtle, eh?

then in the Horrible Histories book 'Vile Victorians' there is a long list of terrible names, all of which were given to real people.

A friend of mine who is big into geneology has an ancestor whose name was Experience Clapp!

Yesterday I met a Les Johnson. I didn't really think about it until later....

For those Monty Python fans, we have a John Thomas at work. I can't hear that name over the paging system without snickering

A one and a two....

So three cheers for your Willy or John Thomas,
Hooray for your one-eyed....

From this morning's Evansville newspaper:

a baby girl born 9/11: "Aroma Cleopatra" The father's name is "Alternate Tarzan", so I guess she'll be "Aroma Cleopatra Tarzan"

[Aggie_Ama]

Mr- Hopefully it is a pleasant Aroma? What is her dad the alternate to?

I was at my college roommate's baby shower yesterday and forgot she also had a great-grandma Pansy.

A child in one of our classrooms:

Davonna Ford (begs the question: If not a Ford, davonna Chevrolet? a Honda?) Oh yeah - davonna Honda - I like the way that rolls off the tongue.
