We have here in town a Dr. Slaughter and Dr. Cutteroff.

[T Minus Four]

both surgeons I presume?

Maude.

She was hot ... smart too. Curvy and alluring.

Then came Maude!

Correction ... that curvacious sexpot was daughter Adrianne Barbeau. Common mistake.

Maude looked like an East German female shot putter, but not as feminine. Adrianne looked like a Playboy Playmate.

It's a fine line ...

Exactly. My sons went to high school with a certain ethnic kid who insisted on everyone pronouncing his name, Wendel, as WenDELL. When the class covered the story of Beowulf, the monster suddenly became GrenDELL. The whole class burst out laughing and used that wacky pronounciation for the whole story.

These parents who, in the throes of insecurity, try to have their children stand out--succeed, unfortunately for the children.

How about this...
Rowanne Logenschloger
Daniel Beebleheimer
Delphine May Rott.....she was very glad to get rid of the Rott part when she married and really had a good sense of humor over the whole thing! She just couldn't believe that her mother named her that.

In my work, I get to look at a lot of different names. Just this week, I saw the name "Aleesha Bedgood". I can also recall "Anita Bush" and "Lyla Lickman". I even spoke one time to a "Buster Ashmore". We actually had a "Dick Head" on file - I'm guessing his mother probably named him Richard. He recently died but I have no idea if it was from embarassment or maybe suicide.

I sat on a jury with a woman whose maiden name was Strange who married a man named Idom. She always though hyphenated surnames were cool but she declined to go by Ms. Strange-Idom.

I don't know about the spelling difference but the Astros had a pitcher in 1970s named Mark Lemongello. He also had a brother who pitched. You can look it up.

What was interesting about Lemongello was the awful streak of self-abusement he showed after bad pitching performances. Once he was literally gnawing on his pitching arm in anger after a loss. Cruelly, the Astros traded him to the expansion Toronto Blue Jays.

Blacks have the whites beaten handily in this regard. Who else would think to name their child "L'Afrique"??

[Tall_Texan]

Tristan makes me think of nasal sprays.

[Tall_Texan]

That reminds me of another former big leaguer - Rusty Kuntz. I don't remember if he was ever teammates with Peter LaCock.

[Slyfox]

I read a story (might have been a Dave Barry) about a woman who named her son "Latrine" because she liked the way it sounded. I still get a laugh out of that when I think of it.

I took care of a little girl named "La Trina" one time.

Poor kid.

[Tall_Texan]

So people just don't think clearly when they have a child.

...Before or after.

There's a dentist in the town I grew up in, named Dr. Hurt.

I knew a Dr. Fred Hurt, a dentist in the Houston suburbs. I didn't believe the stories that he went into practice with a Dr. Payne. But he was very good friends with another dentist, a Dr. Hackbarth. His dad was also a dentist.

I suspect some parents name their daughters something that goes very poorly with their surname - as an incentive to marry young.

I went to school with a kid with a perfectly ordinary boring name for a boy until certain events happened and then it was not so "ordinary".

He was called "Jerry Ford"; his real name was "Gerald R. Ford". He probably hates Nixon to this day.

The state tax commission chairman position was once held by a guy named "Larry Looney".

And then there was the car dealer named Wolfe who named his sons "Lone", "Grey", and "Timber".

Fight Club fan?

Now, now. What's the first rule?

I went to high school with two sisters: Penny Cash and Petty Cash.

Then there were two unrelated gals in school - Cindy Springer and Sandy Sprunger. Could never keep the names straight.

And Mom had a teacher named: May Unita Bath.
