Over the years we've all come across people with "different" names. I worked with a guy named "Peter Small" only to be outdone by another co-worker in development named "Peter Large".

This morning takes the cake... I have an on-line side business I've run for 15+ years and see lots of interesting names and email addresses. I got an order this morning from a guy named "Richard Head". It's not fake as it's a commercial order and everything checks out.

Why as a parent, would you purposely do that to your child? Did no one say... you might want to pick a different first name?

Charlie

A kid I grew up with, his mom was a nurse. I kid you not, the doctor she worked under was a urologist and was named Dr. Richard Chopp.

Those are pretty funny. I think as a kid they would probably cause issue. As a teen/adult they probably just start some good friendly conversation and help people remember you.

Ive never come across anything like those, but have had a few like Abcde etc. that make you just shake your head and say what were those parents thinking.

My name is Matthew, my first born son is Luke. If we had another boy it was going to be Mark or John and then we would have to try for the other. Thankfully my precious little Anna saved me from have to re create the four gospels lol.

Have a neighbor who also gave her four sons bibical names.

tequila, sharkesia, and sue are some of the funniest ones

I used to call on a guy named Richard Head. I would call him and his assistant would tell me "just a moment and I'll see if Dick is in" I would laugh every time. I agree. Why on earth would you put a name on a kid that will subject him to jokes all his life?

I knew a Chinese guy his name was, Never mind but I knew this Chinese guy who had an odd name.

Wan Hung Lo?

Had a buddy his name was Rich Payne...his Dad was Richard and wanted II. We always called his Dad "Dick" and he embraced it and it was always a pretty good joke. His Dad was a character and always fun to hang out with.

Back when I was painting I had customers Paul Crambeer and Richard Tudyk ( pronounced Toodick). So In essence....Richard to Richard.



Went to school with a guy named Prentiss Elmo Lyons III

On the first day of high school the teacher was taking names.
She gets to this kids name in class a calls... Dick Head
eeks333: You could of heard a pin drop in class. At the back of the class you hear this kid say here.
She ask, would you like for me to call you Richard?
He says no you can call me Dick, I've been known as Dick my whole life.

Our whole class burst out laughing

You two have many ?

we used to have a dingy receptionist with an IQ of about 62 on a good day ... some of the guys would go to someone else's phone and call her to page Mike Hunt. A few minutes later she would announce throughout the building Mike Hunt, please call extension XXXX ... everyone would burst out laughing.

See edit.

When I worked at Bankston Nissan off Preston road we had a mechanic named Larry Joe Blow.

I used to know a guy named Bill Oxner

Had a uncle my marriage named Frank James. He dad a brother named Jessie.

were they related to ricky bobby?

In JR. High had a guy in my class named Jesse James also..

Had a pair of James brothers at my HS named Frank and Jessie. Never met the guy, but there's a file at work and the customer's name is Salmon Trout. Years ago my dad deer hunted with a Social Security attorney named Robin Hood.

Used to know a guy through work named Richard Johnson.

I have a buddy named Clay Clayton.

I went to elementary school with a kid named Evan Weiner. His dad’s name was Harold. Went by Harry.

I think it was Yu So Hung. Wan Hung Lo was the Chinese Olympic Athlete who injured himself on the high hurdles.

I can tell you from personal experience that this is 100% spot on. In Elementery school and early Jr. High, I got in a bunch of fist fights over my name.By the time I hit High School and College, it was a novelty and great fun at parties! My given name is Michael Hunt, but everyone calls me Mike.
