FTFA: Stylz Montavian Murry

My home county, yeah?!?!

They're missing the Korean grocer Go Pak Bong.

And this was greenlit because? Anybody?

I went to school with a girl named Iwana Skroo.

How about Barack Obama? More like, Barack Osama!

And George Bush? Get it? Bush? Haaahahahahahaaa!

Anal Excues?
Good prison name?

Where's that "Icy 8 Special K" kid?

"Tito Kunta Hunt" - Yeah, well I gotta Kunta Hunt too!

Harv72b: Best name I came across was when I was doing flower delivery: Dong Wang. It was a woman.

There's a guy at my work named Gang Wang.

Rodeodoc: Someone is going to post that their cousins friends uncles mom was a teacher that had twin boys in her class named Lemonjello and Orangejello. It's not true. Those names come from North Dallas Forty but have become an urban legend.

/so let's get that out of the way

I teach a kid named shiattavian. Really.

Gyrfalcon: My professor told me a true story, verified by her (she saw the birth certificate) of a child named "shiat-h-e-a-d" pronounced with a soft "th" and a double-ee. The poor kid was only about four then and hadn't hit school yet; it was a very poor part of Alabama and so the mom apparently didn't realize how it was spelled. I think she was illiterate. My professor's student was attempting to have the kid's name legally changed before he started kindergarten.

At least he wasn't named Sue.

I took care of a kid whose name was "Sir Richard (last name)". His Mom named him that because she always wanted him to be called "Sir", no matter What.

Not sure why I capitalized "what" there, but there ya go.

Was in the army with a guy named Ashiattay. Of course the Drill SGT's called him Ah-shiatty.

Mike Hunt approves.

Well, at least I don't know any of them.

There used to be a guy named King Frisby on the IDOC website.

/It's fun!

It's now been four days since it was on Reddit?

My dad works in a hospital and saw the name "shiateria" come across as a natal patient.

When I was in college in the 90s, we had a football player named Sirr Parker (he bounced around the NFL for awhile, they made a movie about him too). Same story, mom named him Sirr so people would always treat him respectfully, etc.

Don't forget mace-happy NYPD officer Anthony Bologna, a.k.a. "Tony Baloney", seen here portrayed by Christopher Melogna (Meloni)

The 7-11 around the corner from me is managed by a Korean man named Kum Suk. Nice fellow, horrible breath.

Went to school with a Wendy Beech and her sister Sandy was a grade or two behind us.

When I broke my arm, the Doctor that treated me was named Dr. Payne.

Rank of Major? First name Max for trifecta?

My journalism professor did a Sunday insert story about odd names. She interviewed a guy named Odor, and a group of siblings named Flopsy, Mopsy, and Peter Cottontail. Flopsy and Mopsy were prostitutes/crackheads who drifted in and out of jail.

I've seen some odd names from the clients at the salon I work for. Shiny and Lovely tie for weirdest and there's a guy legit named James Bond that comes in.

I've met a Chaquita.

And a friend had a student namedshiathead.

My dad's cousin's best friend's gynecologist's luthier's boyfriend went to school with a guy named Fluffy Gaywad Hitler McTittymuffin bin Laden Kuntlikker-Hosemuch, but they just called him Flugahimctiblkho.

It's funny because Flugahimctibkho almost sounds just like the Etruscan word for a dwarf hooker with a big dick, and he was known to be as terrified of pre-classical wordplay as he was obsessed with tiny trannies.

The world, it was a simpler place, back then...

My friend had twin boys in her first-grade class named Lemanuel and Emmanuel. Pronounced LEEmanuel and EEEmanuel, known as "Lee" and "E." Good, sweet boys, both of them. When they were old enough to get jobs, they both worked in the same place. Their name tags said "Lee" and "E." Lee still works there. I'm not sure where "E" works now.

Stupid filters.

It was spelled pronouncedshiathead, with a soft th, just like the poster above, but this was in Houston, and the girl was in first grade already.

Last try.

It was pronounced Shi and then thead.

Holden Acock.

I kid you not I saw a baby with this name. Maybe somebody was just screwing with me and I never found out about it but I absolutely saw this name on a record.

Twenty years ago the governor of Alabama was a Republican named Guy Hunt.
His wife was named Helen.
Along the campaign trail, if an aide or staffer needed something and the candidate wasn't available, that person was told to go to Helen Hunt for it.

Ignode Schweinhart, I kid you not. Also, not long after the movie Roots came out, a local family chose to name their firstborn son Kunta Kinte.

I saw a lawsuit once against a "Hung Luong"

The contact for one of our Chinese customers is Long Wang.

I went to school with a kid named Randy Kane and his sister Kandee.

She probably does tricks and/or pornos now.

Oh, and a boy named Jaime Brown, and his father Charles.

My ex, a librarian, had a bunch of patrons with "interesting" names. My personal favorite was a little girl, probably about 5, named "Abcde" (pronounced "ab-se-da").

Hearing all these makes me feel better about a girl who I went to school with, June May, and her sister, April.
