The cruelty of parents: the worst names ever

I believe

poly poster MikeH(unt) goes by Funko(drom) on other boards

[Drake Tungsten]

David Bowie - Zowie

That's actually kind of clever.

What about Demi Moore and Bruce Willis naming their Daughter Scout? I had a neighbor with a horse named Scout

I knew a guy back in school named Wayne Kerr.

One day the principal called out his name in Assembly, and it just occured to everyone what his name sounded like, it was really embarrasing for him that day, and I laughed my head off, especailly because he was a bully to me and so many others. He got his own back that day.

Police officer in my hometown was named, Harold Balls.

Always called Harry of course.

ACK!

Personally, I pity the unlucky people who happen to have the same name with a big time criminal. How many Charles' Mansons are there? There must be quite a few.

I had a collegue named Kostas Passaris, exactly like the most wanted criminal in Greece, a couple of year ago. The surname is quite uncommon. Back then, the poor guy had been brought in 3 times by the police, after being stopped in roadblocks.

But of course having the same name as any famous person is a bit of a hassle, since everybody believes yu're related, specially in small places.

"Mike Hunt" is fairly common (pronounce it quickly).

Making fun of MikeH now?

I was friends with a woman named Lee Day. She named her kids after the weather conditions the day they were born. Summer Day, Sunny Day and Dusty Day. Thank Gawd we didn't live where there are tornado's.

Just think of the poor Kinnoff brothers. Don, Wayne and Jack.

Crystal Ball
Richard Head

I met people with those names. Mr. Head actually pitched for for a rival team-- so you can imagine the obvious chant habitually used when hazing the pitcher

I knew a Harry Cox before

My wife used to go to school with someone named Ben Gay.
