I'm sure everyone knows someone who has been saddled by their parents with an unfortunate moniker...so do tell...
My sister went to school with a girl who's last name was Kane...her parents thought it would be cute to name her Candy...
At my last job there was a woman who's last name was Keister ( pronounced "Keester")...when I allowed as how she had probably been the butt of a few jokes (pun intended), she said "Well, not as many as my husband Harry"...
and lastly...I had a friend who worked with a guy named Jack Mehoff...
parents can be so cruel sometimes...

"Dick Smallenberg" is some sort of photographer...
Milton Bradley and Coco Crisp are baseball players...
And let's not forget Bart's prank calls to Moe.
"Amanda Huginkiss! Why, oh why, can't I find Amanda Huginkiss?!"
Barney:"Maybe your standards are too high!"

Lets not forget two race car drivers, one sort of famous, Dick Trickle ( I have been to the doctor for this) And the first black NASCAR driver in the Cup Series was a man whose own name wasn't PC.

Well, I haven't had the pleasure of meeting anyone with an unusual names like these, and I have heard of some wacky ones through my life. A few friends in school had some not so nice names, but nothing THAT out there. But I have to admit that there were thoughts that went through my head when B_V and I were still having children like....
Billion - Billy for short
Million - Milly for short
Fresh
Derry
btw...our last name is "Ayers" pronounced (Airs) ....rofl
