The best/worst names you have ever heard

[Kimmie]

Ok this is based around if you work in the public sector and hear surnames often but can also be if you know anybody with a cool name!

For example I think the actor Rip Torn had parents who thought they were hilarious 

So far we have had a competition in work to see if we can find the best Surnames, some are a little bit on the rude side so I wont post them but my favourite so far has been;

Mr A. Cake 

[crayauchtin]

I want to be named that!

[Haids1987]

I like my last name--Dundas. It's not like my parents named me "Ialready," but it's still fun.  That's what everyone at work calls me.

LMAO  brilliant!!

[snabbott]

La-a

Pronounced "Ladasha"

(I bet they spell it with a hyphen, though.)

[Haids1987]

I know a little girl named Christmas Carol.  No joke!

[Kimmie]

Yeh my Mum knows somebody called Christine Cross...Chris Cross for short!

Today I had a Mrs Melon come in, that somewhat brightened up my mood!

I know someone with the last name Alfred who has been dubbed Alfredo. Not sure why.

[crayauchtin]

Is he awfully cheesy?

[B'rrr]

Would be easier to say so the other way around I think

Alfredo Alfred / Alfred Alfredo

[Haids1987]

Is his first name Pasta?

[Deloria]

I know a pair of identical twins named Savannah and Vanessah.

[I_am_so_nifty]

Is his first name Pasta?

How did you know? 

No, just kidding.  His first name is Henry. But Pasta would be... well, it would just be weird.

A friend of mine while doing a temp job of stuffing envelopes to people who owed money for a camp their kids had gone to still noticed that one family had sent two children there.

Dangit, I can't remember the second name at the moment, but one of them was named Messiah. No joke. And the other one was just as strange.

[Haids1987]

Jesus?

[Bad Asp]

Jesus?

Pronounced "hay-soos"?

[Haids1987]

Exactly!  I just don't know the keystroke for the `

Every interpretation I lend to Haids post here makes me laugh, ie- both the tone of "helpful addition" and the tone of child-like bafflement at encountering someone named "Messiah".

Okay, in the best names category, a girl in my last Calc1 recitation was named Griffin Hunt. On occasion, I stopped myself from asking if she had a brother named Dragon or Drake.

[B'rrr]

I never met anyone with the name Griffin, intresting name. Doesn't seem to me as a girl name.

[Rosella]

There was actually a guy at one of the high school ceremonies I went to named Gabriel Knight. No joke.
