Strange/Interesting real first and last name combos

[TwoCentPlain]

Not made-up ones. Real ones you have personally run across.

1) Lester Manley and he would introduce himself as "Hi, I'm Les Manley." Until someone asked him, "Less manly than what?"

2) Mayo Nace. A Japanese friend named Mayo who married a guy with the last name Nace. She did NOT like us calling her mayonaise.

3) Tom A Hawk, no period after the A. An engineer I worked with.

4) Miso Kim. She is Korean. All her friends called her soup. In Korean, it actually means "golden smile." One of my all-time favorite names.

5) Tom Swift. A co-worker of mine many years ago. Whenever he made a mistake, we'd always reply "Swift, Tom."

One of the most unfortunate names I've ever heard in real life belonged to a girl I went to gradeschool with: Kate Greathead. No joke. Sweet girl too, I'm sure at some point she just learned to have a sense of humor about it, but dealing with juvenile boys must have been a barrel of laughs.

Ima Cockburner! A little old lady I met at a funeral.

the x to my z in high school was a guy named rex cox, his moms name?


moira cox



another guy I went to high school with, roland foland. sounds just like you think it sounds and was done on purpose by his parents


my aunts husband is ricky pritchard, but that doesn't prevent people from thinking that his name is shortened to ricky from richard(like my name) so people who don't know him well assume he is richard pritchard

That reminds me of the Bond girl name Holly Goodhead.

I don't know about the Simpsons prank, but it was really her name.

I think we had better throw race car driver Dick Trickle's name in the hat as well.

I know two guys named Mike Moore and Mike Moorehead. They were out riding on day and got pulled over by the police. Mike Moore was driving and told the cop his name. Then the cop asked the other his name. The cop though he was messing with him until he showed his id.
