Unfortunate names - MUST be people

[Flag Guy]

I dont speak Dutch but apperently if I did I would get a kick out of looking through a telephone book in Holland... a tour guide was telling us how when the French invaded the Dutch a long time ago, they didn't have last names, they were just known by their first name and where they lived or what they did (Like Frank, the tailor or something like that)

Well the French made them get last names so they could keep track of them, so as a joke when they gave the officials the name they wanted for their last name, they gave themselves names that refered to various pubic regions of the body or articles for them. Guess they thought it was funny then

Bet the grand children, great grand children, and so on don't find it as funny now...

My brother has a list of really awful names he got while working summers at Principal Financial. Some guy there had collected them. I can only remember 3 off the top of my head:

Ima Pigg -- and her sister

Lotta Pigg -- and

Harry ****.

Now what parents would give their kids names like that.

I met a big guy a couple years ago whose first name is Helen, can't remember his last name, but that had to be brutal growing up.

I take my daughter to a dermatologist named Dr. Love -- not a studly guy.

Few yrs back a customer named Ada Peter past away,then there were no more jokes on her

I came across quite a few interesting names working in inner city Peoria, Illinois.

These are only first names, but interesting nonetheless.

Hitachi-I always wondered how that one came about

Pepsi

Tequila- pronounced Tuh-quee-lah

Sobriety- the mom of this girl had something like 7-8 kids, and this last one was the only one she was sober for

My dad tells the story about a girl in his class named Fonda Dix.

Fonda Dicks was a girls basketball legend from Moravia, Iowa.

Funniest billboard I've ever seen was in Jefferson, Iowa many years ago. It was an advertisement for the Air Force and the recruiters name was **** Blow. At the bottom of the billboard the caption read "See **** Blow, your Air Force recruiter" :wideeyed:

can't make this stuff up

You were jumping out the windows in the weight room skipping class more than you were at school, how do you remember the Spanish teacher?

I heard rumors of her. And you can talk?? At least we took the Spanish foreign exchange student with us when we skipped. Does that count for credits in spanish class?

I had a army capt whose name was Richard Steel. When he left us, he was promoted to Major...I don't really think it's unfortunate. I kind of think it's still cool

It was actually spelled Dicks, no kidding. Her brother's name was Nick, they were from a small southern Iowa town. She was a very good basketball player.
