Speaking of names that sound like other things... when I was a freshman in college, my roommate and another buddy and I went out for a late-night snack one evening, and he wound up playing a Donkey Kong video game at the fast food joint. I was watching him play, when I asked what the name of the little character was. My roommate answered "Mario". For some reason I then asked, "Does he have a last name?" and my roommate responded without hesitation, "Yeah, Speedwagon."
Took me a while to figure that one out.
