I once met a guy who...

I graduated high school with a guy named Terrance who spelled it "Tanrace". He always made me wanna change my name from Tanner to "Rannte" but pronounce it the same way.
I had a college prof named Dr. Love. He was a short small classic nerd who taught organic chemsitry. Great Teacher though.
One of my good friends, a drummer I played with in the past and occasionally still do is named Scott McCracken. Pretty normal, right?
He's got an uncle named Phil.

His daughter is called Lucy Davis... Jasper Carrott's real name being Robert Davis...

I know a boy called Brain (pronounced Brian, the parents still have no clue)
We have one named Dr. Littlejon. Also a gyno named Dr. Box....really.
All very interesting but I think Ms. Siemen-Samples took the cake...I LOLed.
My wife used to go to gynecologist named Siemen. And I know a woman whose name is Nastya Vagina (pronounced VAH-gee-na, with the 'g' pronounced like the 'g' in 'gun'). She is Russian and the last name is not particularly rare. But the spelling! Whew!
My friend is an attorney working child support cases in Chicago. She posted on FB once that a woman became enraged at a judge who kept mispronouncing her daughters name "Shithead" actual spelling, but its pronounced as Shy- eed.
Found one of her other post where a mother names her two sons "Casper the friendly Ghost" and the other "Godzilla the Gorhilla Pimp' and they're both in their teens. No joke, these are the real first names of these boys.

Moe: Uh, Amanda Huggenkiss? Hey, I'm looking for Amanda Huggenkiss! Ah, why can't I find Amanda Huggenkiss?
Barney says "Maybe your standards are too high!"
Moe: You little S.O.B.! Why, when I find out who you are, I'm going to shove a sausage down your throat and stick starving dogs in your butt!

I must say... I had an economics prof named Harry Sackey... He was an African... High profile and all, but damn....
I went to high school with a Mister Simpson. I used to always make the joke that when he got married mail would arrive for Mr. and Mrs. Mister Simpson!
No joke, my uncle use to work with this guy. According to my uncle, he also had a brother named Lemonjello (pronounced Le-Mon-jah-lo."
