Thirteen Burdeen, a local councilman.....needless to say he was the thirteenth child in the family.
Two Black women employed at a Base near here, Vagina and Fallopian. The last one says her Mother heard a Nurse say that while she was in the Hospital and thought it sounded cute.
I can't say much with a first name like mine.

I knew a Scot who was a Shetland Pony judge- he came over to officiate at Melbourne Royal Show in 1986.
His real name was Dougall Dick. (totally true & no nicknames!)

We had a "Richard" Head here too...what kind'a drugs would make parents name a kid that that . . ??!!
I saw Zappa's name on another post earlier and it reminded me of a joke my first husband told me when I was 17 and gullible and I believed this and told it for months 'til he told me the truth.
"Hey, did'ja hear Frank Zappa had a little girl and named her Crappa?"
(Her name is really Moon.)
A guy I use to know was named "Murray Kilmurray" . . . what were HIS parents on?
Todd, Here's another new post idea while your on a roll with these intriguing things: What do your parent's name/your name/your kid's names mean?
Names have very interesting meanings!!
PS: I had an uncle named "Limmy Earl". My grandpa was Baxel Otis but everyone called him B.O. . . .do NOT laff . . . . . . lol

My wife wouldn't let me name the kids as I wanted. Potatoe Sacks Gunny Sacks Flower Sacks she wouldn't even let me call them Scrotum!
I do know a Jasper Starfire and Panama Moses and Sundog Juniper and Windspirit Ohm and.... guess that's some of what happens to a kid with old hippie parents.

I know a Richard Cox.. When he was in his late teens, he was pulled over by the police for something. They asked his name and he, being the smart-a$$, says "Dick Cox". He spent the night with them..

A sign mentor told us about a kid he was growing up with in the 40's. He went to school with a kid whose stupid parents named him "Donald Duck" since their last name was Duck. (shame on those parents!)

Nothing 'funny' here, just an answer to the title of the thread:
My name(Ian) & my wife's (Joan) both end with "an". My mother's name (Diana) & my mother-in-law's (Edna)both end in "na" My Step father's name is Henry, and my father-in-law's surname is Heppell, which gives us an "h" for each end, so we decided our first child just HAD to be a girl & would be called Hannah (H-an-na-h) to have a bit of each parent's and grandparent's name in her!
Sheila, about the meaning of names, our second daughter has lived up to the meaning of her name- Helen (which means shining light)- pretty well since the day she was born. She's a 'light' all right, and boy does she shine! (she just turned 6 two days ago)

Ro, I've heard the name Rovell as a last name.
a Paul Harvey (condensed by my memory) story:
A young man was coming before the judge. Again. He had been in and out of trouble all his life for bank robbery. Finally, he came before judge who, this time, totally pardoned him. Due to the fact that any time someone called his name he obeyed.
His name was Rob Banks.

My sister works for a dentist whose name is Dr. Chips. He shortened it from the name Chipinski. I love the names in the two Austin Powers movies...Ivanna Humpalot and Alotta Vagina (or whatever they were) pretty funny stuff. My niece's name is Trinity. Her brother's name is Benjamin Franklin (born on July 4th) ....both are Fiddles' kids. Her name is Fiddles cuz her real name is Faye Adele and if you say it fast, it sounds like Fiddle. My other niece's name is Joze (pronounced Josie, it's an old Slovak or Polish female name) My late uncle Leo has a son name Richard and he was often called "Leo's Dick". My son's name is Justis. He is named after my dad, Regis, who was a Justice of the Peace for years. Love....Jill

I've been a collector of unusual names for a long time. I dated a girl who worked for an OB-GYN for a while, and she was a bottomless pit for new additions to my list.
The one that most suits the group here, would be one of my own, first hand, heard-about-it-hell-I-was-there stories. I use to stop at the same quickie mart most every night (sometime around late 1984). Most of those nights, a very pregnant black lady would be working, and then she was gone for a month or so and of course returned un-pregnant. Like most proud parents she asked everyone, including me, if they'd like to see her new pride and joy. Noticing the pink bow on it's head, I said, "aww she's cute, what did you name her?" she replied (to my ears it sounded like) "anymel". I say gee that's an unusual name, is it old family? She said, "No, I got it off a paint can". I said how do you spell that?? she said "E-N-A-M-E-L".
My favorites from the baby doctor days - LaPorsche Ferrari & Formica Dinette (she said she liked it because it sounded french!)
and the #1 funniest (and saddest) name - let's see if it gets by the censors, S-H-I-T-H-E-A-D. You're reading right... sh!thead. She pronounced it "she-thaid". I saw the paperwork on this one, so it wasnt just a story.

Funny, I read this topic the other night, but couldn't think of any legit people.You know how it goes it came after I was off the net and here it goes.Both have male pvt part connotations and both are true.Met a guy in a class once who gave me his latest issue of "TRUCKIN" mag.He intro'd himself as Justin .When I got home I read the mailing label it said "JUSTIN DICK"And last night couldn't sleep ,so while flippin thru infomercials ,I came across "PETER POPOFF" a tv evangilist. I really thought it was a joke at first .

I went to school with a Perry Winkle and worked with a Richard Head. There used to be a gynecologist around here named Dick Long, his telephone listing was of course Long, Dick. Tim Allen the comedian is actually Tim Dick. One non human funny name was a race horse named Hoof Hearted. Say it a few times fast like you're calling a race.

If I had guts, I was going to name my son Molson. Molson Golden. I told him I would pay for his kid's college tuition if he names his Molson. (I hope he chickens out too!)
My sister "denied" having given birth to her daughter. She honestly didn't name her for about a week, there's like a deadline. I told her to name her "Tamarra", that way whenever someone asked her the name she could say that she would name her Tamarra, and then we'd wait another day. She actually let her son name the kid so she's stuck with "Jasmine", a little too much Disney influence if you ask me.

My aunt and uncle emigrated from Holland to Victoria (Canada). At the Victoria airport they became seperated. My aunt finally spotted her hubby and yelled out his name 'Fokker....Fokker'. They got a few strange looks to say the least. Now he's called frank.
A supervisor was filling out a leave form for an older Italian fellow, who is basically illiterate. The leave form was for a Doctors appointment, so the Mike the supervisor asked for the doctors name. Enzo (the italian guy) replies " ah, you know, the doctor guy". Mike asks again, a little more sternly this time "Enzo, what is the doctors name?" Enzo" You know, the doctor guy" Mike (fairly frustrated now) "what is the doctor's name?" Enzo (excasberated now)"Geo Porko (no idea how to spell italian swearing), I told you you dummy, it's the doctor guy". With that he pulls out his wallet and fishes out the appointment card with the doctors name on it. The Doctors name is Dr. Guy, go figure. I overheard this exchange and laughed for days.
EDITED: THIS JUST IN (flashback) In high school we had Lila Dick, her sister Denise and her brother Harry.

When my grandfather was tracking down the family shrubbery some years ago, he ran across the name Hepzibah Zippie among our ancestors. He also found an Increase Smith. The old genealogical book stated: “Increase increased very well for he had 12 children.”

I always wondered about the A. Duie Pyle name. Their trucks are everywhere.
Another one I heard of was from the old Bugs Bunny/Warner Bros. days, U.B. Iwerks. Those old cartoon people worked like dogs and said his name was U Bet I Works.

My pastor's late wife told us this years ago for the truth . . .
A church was having a Sunday School visitor promotion. The people were split into teams and each sunday a score was kept of which team brought the most visitors. On the last Sunday of the promotion, while the final numbers were being added, a man with an unusual name came in a little late with two women visitors. Across the platform the Sunday school director shouted excitedly, "WAIT! Here comes two ladies with Harry Butts!!"
