My aunt Inocencia changed her name a while after getting married, BTW.

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.

we have a doctor in my town named Osama. His last name is different though. I still would change it though.

And you never see anyone name their kid Adolf anymore. . I'm sure all the ones who already had that name changed it.

There's a Randy Wang in my class.

I knew a young man from a small town in Virginia named Claude Hopper.

I have a Sharlot in one of my classes. Similarly there was a Lornga (pronounced Lorna but mum was drunk when she filled the birth certificate in (true story)).

Seymour Balls is a pretty bad name.

Also most names that celebs give to their kids, that's just brutal and bad. It's as if they think their kid is a toy and not a real person with a future and feelings, and personality.

Hmmm..

The worst name, but funniest was, I don't know where from but india section maybe?

It was Pudjar Putnme Polls.

First thing that pops in your mind for Mary Jayne.

[Jon Shafer]

I'm surprised nobody has yet named the racecar driver...

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.

Okay, a story. "W*nker," as you may know, is not a part of American slang. So I was recently at a conference convened by the US military, but mostly attended by officials from Australia and New Zealand. At the final session, the head of the US delegation went on and on about the number of follow-up duties that would be taken on by his colleague (who unfortunately couldn't be with us that day) -- Major Weinker. By the time he'd said the name for the fifth or sixth time, the Aussies and Kiwis were just about pissing themselves -- and I don't think he ever did figure out what was so funny.

Our old captain was D*ck Durham, which ain't bad is he was in the Pornographic industry. But he wasn't.

I still like the sign for Dr. Kwak's clinic I saw here...

[Dauphin]

I have a friend from university called Tristan. Nothing odd until you realise he has a sister called Isolde.
