What were their parents TINNKING: Bad names

You too can join the Dick Trickle Fan Club. Unfortunately ther 'merchandise' section is closed. Apparently no one wants to wear a 'Dick Trickle' T-shirt. Personally I thought the "I'm a big fan of Dick" ball cap would be a big seller.

My mom used to work with a guy named Dick Smalls.

I hear he goes by "Robert" now...

Dick Trickle. That will forever crack me up.

My mom knew a woman from her hometown named Ima Pigg.

and (not making this up)...

Siphelice and Goneria (that's how they were spelled. Say them out loud.)

Dick Pole

There was a kid at my high school named Harry Bumpe.

Friend of mine knew a dwarf growing up named Herklerod.
I guess the dwarf's parents were complete dicks.

There was a guy in my high school named "Harry Sachs" (pronounced "Hairy Sacks"). I remember everyone would laugh whenever they called his name over the loud speaker.

Okay, seriously, before you rip me a new one, my mom teaches 1st grade, and as you know, there's an epidemic of undereducated teens (mostly from poor neighborhoods) getting pregnant.
But anyway, she's got a girl in her class named "Name" pronounced Nah-ME, apparently, the mother saw Name on the birth-certificate, and thought the doctors had already named her, but instead of pronouncing it nAme (long A) like it is supposed to be, she pronounced it Nah-ME (short a, long E)

Isn't that someone who doesn't know how to spell "Naomi" ?

We had a "Ricky Dicky"

i knew of a girl named rubella

I think this is the same guy I heard about on the news a while ago, who died when he was crushed by an avalanche of grain spilling out from a grain silo. Sad, but I had to do a double-take at the name.

"What a beautiful baby, let's name him Oddly Queer."
