People with unfortunate names…

Carrie Coon

IMA HOGG

I just took a training course with a guy named Harry Butts. Thank goodness it was a Zoom session because when he said, “Welcome to today’s class, I’m your instructor Harry Butts” I literally chortled.

I knew a Robin who refused to take her husband's last name - Pigeon.

This guy.

Gaye Hooker

The Hooker family was a prominent family in Nashville TN. Gaye married into the family.

Ima Hogg was considered to be quite the beauty in her day.

LOL, from the Wiki entry at r2:

[quote] Although it was rumored that Hogg had a sister or sisters, whose names were suggested to be [bold] "Hoosa Hogg", "Ura Hogg" or "Wera Hogg", she had only brothers.

I can just imagine someone reading this out loud and trying to keep a straight face during that particular passage.

Ruth Negga

Thread OVER.

Craven Tart ,

Heidi Hoe

The Yankees' star rookie pitcher from last night's game, Cam SCHLITTLER!

When I worked for Chanel I had a client named Jizzy Goo. I kid you not. She should have lived in the states at least a year before choosing her western name. Another’s name was Crystal Dong. I had to put the phone on mute the first time I she told me.

Imogen Poots is up there.

[quote] Imogen Poots is up there.

I wonder if she had a coach-type instructor in school who would constantly yell out her last name for shits and giggles:

"Poots! POOOOOTS! Front and center, Poots!"

Allison Doody

There was a girl at the university I attended named Mylene Dick.

I knew a girl who went by Cookie, but her birth name was Cocaine. She had it legally changed when she turned 16.

There was a Chinese athlete named Ding Dong at the Olympics, I think it was in Beijing. He was competing in trampoline gymnastics.

As long as it wasn't pole vaulting, r30.

I went to college with a girl named Marla Sukoff

Ermira Dopi, my bank manager. .She's anything but - an intelligent, lovely woman of Russian extraction who resembles a young Helen Mirren. I made the mistake of pronouncing it Dopey and she sighed and corrected with Doppy. Then went on to pronounce my Scandinavian last name in an unflattering way.

We had a good laugh

Pippo Pappalasagna

I went to high school with a guy and hs sister named Fuchs. Teachers rarely tried to say their last name when calling attendance. One said FUGUES.

Most spelled it out aloud.

The gym teacher called him Fucks, or SWEET FUCK ALL. That same teacher call the Lebanese twins Hummus and Baba Ghanoush, and every east Indian guy Charlie Brown.

He called me Prince Steffy. My Father was a big wheel at the school board.

He didn't dare use the N word. They were his best athletes.

This guy made us shower together and even pulled off our underpants if we were shy. I admit I was shy showering with guys my age who already looked like hairy men at 13. I was a plump little cherub.

and then he would touch us (our shoulders) and smell us to make sure we got wet. He took attendance in the showers.

Scary stuff but I masturbated to that teacher for years.

I went to school with a French girl whose first name was 'Darquise', pronounced 'Darkies'.

we had to laugh in French class when teacher pronounced Joan of Arc like John Duck.

Miss Fallis lived on our street. She was an old spinster kindergarten teacher. The adults giggled when they said her name but i didn't get it until I was about 12 years old. I shoveled snow from her front steps in winter and she phoned for when I wasn't home. My older sister took a written message: Call Miss Phallus.

I knew a woman named Candy Score who somehow managed not to become an adult entertainer of any kind.

Well, as far as I know, I suppose.

OP I just saw that person's name yesterday.....what an odd choice for a name!

R22, Edward Gorey is said to have insisted that "Meryl Streep" is the name of a Henry James character.
