What's in a name?

[Aggie_Ama]

My university has a football player named Javorsky (first name).

I once knew a Raffi Kevorkian

[Zen]

I've seen Notorious, Wonderful, Seagram and Trainnieyana Kenosha Mercedes.
Also Queen, Queen Mary, LaVern, Seagram, Lavoris and Dentyne- the last 4 are men

Just when you think it can't get any better along come Lavoris and Dentyne.

Heehee, for some reason his whole name Javorsky Lane is what cracks me up. With Javorsky, he could just be foreign, but you add in his last name, and you realize he's not

Yes, we have debated where they got the name over many game watching parties. And I am sorry it is Javorskie!

There is also L'Tiddrick. If Tiddrick wasn't bad enough let's add to it.

At work there's an Anita Leigh that is pronounced "lay".

It's her married name. Her maiden name was Cox

[Mr. Bloom]

OK, copied from yellowbook.com:

Anita Mann
100 Dorset C
Boca Raton, FL 33434-3008

I'm not making this up...I met her in college...and this is a name you don't forget.

I wonder what Camry will name HER daughter. Pepsi?

Years ago, just before vacation, Silverdaughter (at about age 7) decided we should have vacation names.

We would be the Cola family.

Silverdaugher would be "Have'a Pepsi"...cola
Silver would be "Coca"...cola
I'd be "R C"...cola, and
SilverSon would be "Un"...cola...but we'd call him "Sprite" as a nickname.

The problem: FOR TWO YEARS, she introduced herself to people as "Have'a" and for a while, I was truly convinced she would successfully change her name as an adult ;-) that's my girl!

I once worked with a guy named Jack Goff (say it fast). What were his parents thinking? My dad was a junior high teacher and had him as a student. He said the poor guy was teased constantly.

[Tuckervill]

The counselor at the middle school nearby is named Mrs. Hollopeter. Her husband, Mr. Hollopeter, runs the soccer league. Don't you wonder what they joke about in bed?

Karen

At least she didn't hyphenate when she got married!

Hey, just wait. She's not yet married and having kids of her own!

Certainly there must be plenty of cyclists out there with daughters named Cadence?

My friend's husband wanted to have a bunch of boys so he could name them:

Hunter
Fisher
Trapper
Skinner
Gunnar
and there was one more but I can't remember it

But instead, they had a girl and named her Katie.

[Mr. Bloom]

My first college roommate (for one week) was named El Gardo

El Gardo had three brothers:

• El Gringo
• El Julio AND
• Joe Junior

There were from Opelika, Alabama

Oh, I actually like that!

My cousin is married to a Storm. He's actually a very laid back guy.

My sister's mother-in-law is named Sky. ( I actually like it)

My dad's middle name is Carroll. I don't know what the origins of that was.

My mother's stepmother's was Eula Mae (deep South)

yeah, my maiden last name/married last name is quite unfortunate. All my life I dreamed that I'd marry someone with a normal last name like Smith or Jones or Adams. But no! Love triumphs! I married someone with a worse last name than my own.
