There is a local Indian artist named Edgar Heap of Birds. Edgar Heap of Birds - Artist, Art - Edgar Hachivi Heap of Birds

I am related to a Carol Caroll (married in to that last name)

Grew up with a chinese girl whose name I don't think I could spell now but was pronounced "shining shoe".

Also used to play youth soccer with a guy whose last name was Seamans. We all thought it was funny of course, and I recall that we would joke with each other that his dad's name was Richard. Then one year my dad was the coach and collected the checks at the beginning and... the "joke" was true. Richard Seamans. He was actually a pretty cool guy, but rough deal on that name!

I once worked with a very attractive woman who's last name was Dickhard. She eventually had the spelling legally changed to Dikhardt.

I currently work with a guy who's surname is Hardman. Always makes me think of that old twist on the often-heard woman's lament..."A hard man is good to find".

My father was named after a Hollywood actress. He had more than a few schoolyard fights. I am a Jr., but she is mostly forgotten. Mostly.

I knew a Mike Wildman when I was in the Navy. He was not really a wild man, pretty mild mannered really.

A Sharon Cunliff went to my high school. You can image how her last name mutated . . .

Ian

knew a girl up on the river: Amanda Hugginkiss

And my SIL's sister is a perdiatric nurse. She walked into the examination room with the records and began to speak:

"O.k. well it looks like.......like "Shady Nasty" has a slight fever and...."

she told us the mother jumped up and said: "uh-uh!! Oh no you didn't!!! My baby name is Sha-dynasty!!"

When I bartended, a guy used to come in and open a tab with the name Abdul Abdullah Odinga.

I always thought it was a cool name. If you say the whole thing, it almost has a musical quality.

My last name is my userID. It's pronounced Mass-Rum, but 98% of the time, folks add letters.

The most common mispronunciations are
Mastrum
mashrum
mashroom
mascrum
marsum

Reminds me of a street on the north side of Houston. It's spelled Kuykendahl, but folks pronounce it Kirkendoll. I refuse to believe that it's supposed to be pronounced like that.

My postal carrier is from Central Viet Nam, his name is pronounced "Hi". People think I'm messing with him when I greet him with "Hello Hi".

The guy that ran the planetarium in high school: Dr. Michael Hunt.

Some random guy in college: Spooner (never knew his last name).

I work with a Tijuana Hooker (married name), a Kurien George, an Archana Mandala, and an Emily Brickhouse (she's a BRICK----HOUSE!).

My last name is extremely unique in this country, to the point that there are only three people in the country with my same first/last name. We are all probably related, but I have no idea how. And I don't post my last name online because it is so identifiable.

Thy guy that used to cut our lawn was named Mark Slutsky, he had a sister. His sister must have had hell in high school.

There's a guy at the San Carlos Airport who gives tours at the air museum named North West. His sister's first name is East.

I learned from a South African friend that many Africans name themselves after words they like. He knew a guy named Ambulance, and another named F***koff. (asterisks added by me)

An Episcopal priest- his name was Rip Coffin.

I work with Liz Chiz, Barry Hatchett and Yana Nirvana. My Wife's optometrist is Dr. Lookingaye.

Two coworkers from days gone by:

Dick Boyle.
Harry Weed.

Still makes me laugh.

Obama?

D'oh!

I'm betting on "Kristofferson". ;)

The local walmart pharmacist is named Michael Hunt..... and I hear he doesn't like being called Mike either....

A common female name in Colombia is "Usnavy" pronounced "oozna'vi" (which would be the right Spanish pronunciation). I guess American sailors leave a nice impression there ;)

Ivory White...black kid I went to school with...I swear and have proof

A girl used to bring her car to my service dept name was Anita Goodwin.
Also had a supplier rep named Richard Head.
I new a lesbo named Robin Cherry (wait for it!)

I had to call someone for work with the name of Mark Manlove. Growing up couldn't have been easy.

The fact that he lived up to his moniker is, well, D squared.

Worked with a hot looking woman named Wonder Ever.

We had a guy in our town named Richard Head, and you'all can guess his nickname.. And he really lived up to his nickname.

I went to school with a Ralph Gross, Karen Freak, Bill Hunt (everyone called him Billy) and a Richard Outhouse.

There was a girl in my high school named Carla Fuchs

Obviously my first name is Hugh. I didn't like it as a kid, but now I do. I think it's a cool name. I've had it spelled "U", "Que", "Ugh", you name it. Once in college I met a chick in a bar and told her my name was "Hugh", she said she'd never heard that name before. I said "Sure you have, Hugh Hefner for example". She looked at me and said "Wow, are you related?" True story. She was blonde.

Another true story, the writers of Star Trek-The Next Generation named the 3rd of 5 Borg that they captured "Hugh" after me. I was doing some indoor air quality consulting work for the writer's (allergies, coughing, etc.) at Paramount and I was talking to one of the writers and introduced myself and he said "Hugh, that's a perfect name and I'm going to use it in the next episode". My surprise was when I saw the episode.
