My co-worker that summer was a black fellow named Theodis T. Odee. Just saying his name prompted a smile. Fortunately, he was a really fun guy to work with and even made light of his own name. He said it was a "sing-song" sounding name and he sang a little ditty he made up using his name.
But a name I will never forget.
That’s a cool name, actually.
Yeah, it is. He thought so too.
It reminds me of a mix of deep South, blues music, and Greek influence. It’s so different, but unforgettable....Mista T. Odeeeeee!! Cool story, HotHunt
I don’t blame the people for having odd names. I blame the parents. They are the root of the problem unless the person purposely changed their name.
It’s a classic.
As a young intern at a local Family Court I came across the name LaFart Johnson as I was filing. Who would name their son LaFart?
“Let a fortune 500 corporation say this to a latiqua or a shanikwa.”
Hopefully no one at a Fortune 500 company would be dumb enough to say it. There are always valid reasons to choose against someone, other than the actual reason.
exactly!
In John Lott’s book “Unintended Consequences” there was a black FBI agent with the first name Gon-NOR-ea.
Move the accent from “NOR” to the “E” and what do you have?
I read that book 30 years ago and I still remember that agent’s name...LOL!
I would judge her by her hair
Also by visible tats, if she has any.
Great chart.
Sorry for the odd post.
I originally posted a cartoon of Foghorn Leghorn, the Warner Bros’ old rooster character, in a pose, hairstyle and an expression almost exactly the same as that weird Symone chick.
Instead what came up was the lewd Tripod logo which I assume must be a copyright stamp. My bad.
The local paper runs an area’s most wanted feature and one “featured’ gal was named “Vendetta”.
That is either the most awful or most awesome name, ever, depending on your point of view.
