You've got to be kidding me. No name in auto racing can usurp "DICK TRICKLE" for the Absolutely Absurd Name Award.
my korean roomate in highschool, his name was Young Seuk Kim (Young Suck Him), he got himself a new nickname really fast before anyone else could.
My youngest sister is named Mariangeles. Say it in spanish, it rolls off the toungue ok. We just call her Manana, I don't know how that started. Her friends and teachers just call her Mary. I knew a girl in elementary school named Pretty. She was asian, don't know from where. May have been philipino. She wasn't that pretty. I had a friend named Viet Kong. Had I been as witty as I am now back when I was 10, I would have nicknamed him Charlie. Superman's real name is Kal El. What were his parents on...
And man, had he ever gone to the ammo shed... look out! I actually saw a girl on some talk show (Jenny Jones?) that was crying on national TV because her mother was so dumb and named her "Vagina" as it's pronounced... because it "sounded so pretty." I don't know if I felt sorry for the mother, for not knowing better than to do that, or the daughter more for telling people... I think I would go with "Gina (Gee-nuh)" or Jenny... or my middle name... I knew a guy named Duck, a girl named Mercedes, another named Portia (pronounced Porsche), and a few named Summer, Autumn, and of course April, May, June and July (Julie spelled wrong)... knew of a September and know a December and January, too. Knew a guy named August, we called "Augie" -had a friend named Damian we called "Satan" or "Omen 3." There's an actual reporter, or "on your side" investigator type, of Ch. 8 in Dallas named Benjamin Dover, goes by Ben in interviews... benjamindover.com. People used to call one another "Richard Cranium" at my school for some reason too... And then there was Patrick McCracken, Karin Sympathy and John Smith (but John Smith was the only real person in this last paragraph.)
I once had a dancer that wanted to call herself contagious. I must say in my 15 years that name took the cake. I don't know if she was a green pea or stupid *****?
Reminds me of the band "Anthrax." Absurd name indeed. "And now for your enjoyment.... Herpes! Isn't she just contagious, gentlemen?"
Just a question...why do some people in the US take "normal" names and change the spelling of these names so that they appear "foreign"? What's the point of doing that?
As some of you may know, I am currently living in the Seychelles islands, and there are some jacked up names out here...especially for the girls... So far I have dated a Palvy, MarieAntoine, Odile (pronounced O'dzeel), and a Mirose (Meee-rose),...never heard of these names before coming here, but most are really sexy sounding French names (Seychelles used to be a French colony) There's rumored to be a chick on another island named ****orina...real fresh.
