If you could recommend that he go to the court house and change one of his names, only one, which would you recommend. I remember the joke that went around a long time ago about a guy whose name was Lyndon Baines S**t. He went to the courthouse and told the clerk he wanted a name change, that he was embarassed by his name. The clerk asked what he wanted to change it to and he said, "Oh, doesn't matter, John S**t, Joe S**t.
My sister had a friend in school named Debbie T*tsworth and I attended school with a boy whose last name was Ferry. He and his siblings were Larry, Terri, Sherry, Barry. My mother's friend's name was Fern Violet and her sisters were Rose, Ivy and Pansey.
We used to have a President at our community college whose name was Dr. Jack Nutt. A neighboring 4-year college had a president at that same time whose name was Dr. Looney (I don't remember his first name). The story goes that Dr. Nutt's secretary placed a call to the neighboring college and told the person who answered that Dr. Nutt was calling for Dr. Looney. She was reportedly hung up on.
We recently hired a very nice young lady whose legal first and middle names, are Cocaine Heroin. We had to put it into the payroll system because of her SS records. Fortunately, she goes by another name that is fairly common. What were her parents thinking? I guess we can figure that out.
That is a shame. I would have my name changed too. I went to school with a James A James (sister Jasmine) and a Kenny Kenney (Brother Kevin)I guess the parents had sense at least one out of thier two kids.
One of my favorites is the name of a general practice physician in our HMO directory - his name is Forrest Bump! I'll bet he's gotten some ribbing over the last few years!
I have to cast my vote for psrcello for the, shall we say, BOLDEST, post. But the real question here is, am I the only one who feels like he's playing the $50,000 pyramid when I click onto this site? And I won't even mention the girl in college named Lacey Honeycutt or the piano teacher named Ophelia Butts.
My nephew (and I most certainly question his intelligence) named his new baby daughter "Poison Ivy". They called her Ivy for a while, which is decent, but when she started school she goes by Poison. What are these people thinking?
Don, you teach me something new every day - I didn't know you could talk back to the forum police x:-). I have to say, I thought the postings were humorous and definitely not malicious & I wouldn't mind as a Christian, a Democrat and an At Will die-hard x;-) , to share the postings with anyone that I worked with. That being said, James is the boss, so we follow your lead.
Could be ray - I was poking fun of some of the threads we've all been consumed with. I think this thread should probably be retired as many of the responses no longer make any sense - this one of mine doesn't now - because Don D's comment, which I was responding too, is no longer there.
I've achieved a first - I had a posting deleted by the Forum Police! Mea maxima culpa - however, the names in the post were for real, lest anyone think I made them up for their shock value!
I have to agree, Don. I wondered why my psoting was deleted. I merely mentioned the name of my beloved Chancellor at East Carolina University. Boy, I'm glad I didn't talk about the vice-chancellor, Irving P. Freely.

Have a great weekend!
My wife has no sense of humor, btw.
My last name is Pappageorge and another favorite is to say I'm from Indiana and named my son Hoosier.
But we're left with some funny messages that wouldn't violate anyone's company policies.
