Part of my job requires me to research people on names databases to trace heirs and whatnot. Had a little downtime on my lunch break so a co-worker and I were having some fun on the database. I'll leave off most of the names that we found just for sake of keeping the thread going. Honestly, a lot of parents need to be shot. The names you can find are cruel and these people have to live with what their parents gave them.

I once had an order at my sub shop from a Dick Pound. I swear to God. I asked the woman for the name twice. Then, when the guy came in to pick them up, he said he had an order for "Dick," so I asked him his last name.
In college I worked for a bank, as a researcher. It ran the gamut of being completely boring one day to being one of the most interesting jobs I have had, the next day. I worked with one other guy and one of our favorite past times was looking up "unusual" names. One of the best ones we've found was Harry Kronk. But the name that took the cake was Barbara Gay Fagget. Talk about redundancy (not that there's anything wrong with that)
Way back when, prior to caller ID ruining all the fun of prank calling, my buddy and I got bored and busted out the phone book. After mercilessly taunting all the "Crappers," etc. that we could find in said Houston phone book, I stumbled on an "H. Dick." I called. A woman answered. I asked for "Harry." She said to hold on a sec. I'll be damned if Harry Dick himself didn't get on the phone a few seconds later. With my buddy on one phone and me on the cordless, we ridiculed him to no end. I would say "poor guy," but I'm not that nice.
HUGO PEN!S. unbelievable. i REALLY REEEEALY feel bad for this guy. must get a lotta weird looks when they hear his name. "WHAT did you say you name was ?"
HAHAHAHAH i didnt believe you.. but dayum that freakin hilarious I found what could have been a big rockets fan had we have drafted and kept Rudy Gay..... Gay Head
I remember when I worked at Wing Stop, this guy placed an order and I asked him for his name and he said "Poo" and I wrote it down and ran to the back and laughed for about an hour. It wasn't that the name was Poo it was just the way he said it. Like he was proud of it.
This site: http://nameoftheyear.blogspot.com/ is doing a "Name of the year" tournament. Here's their bracket:
When my dad was in an international hospital (and this is his favorite residency story) they announced the doctors names on the intercom often. These are three names he heard (I don't know how to spell them, but this is how they are pronounced): Dr. Death Dr. Doctor Dr. Quack
damn, i've been trying to find kam on there (i've been trying to figure out his last name for more than a year. he won't tell me like it's some top-secret thing). call me pathetic but i'm dying to know it. i friggin' have his date of birth and PHONE NUMBER and it still won't turn up any results.
