    Husband went to school with Dorcus Clapsaddle.

    I did not believe him until I saw his yearbook. It's true.

    At work some years ago, I was on intake for people needing developmental services. Two children I still remember:

    Chevy Bonnet (would she have been conceived on one???)
    Anfone (pronounced an-fuh-nee, as in 'Anthony' pronounced by a Brit)

    Well I know a Dr. named Gross as well as know a cop named Gross. I can only imagine what they had to put up with growing up and probably still to this day. I have a friend who's last name is Payne. I know he's heard it all too.

    We had a dog, but he wasn't Spot thank goodness.

    My mom is very self-conscious about calling out my dad's name in public--makes sure to call him "Richard" if she has to yell out his name in public!

    I just found this thread and have been laughing so hard! I thought I'd bump it in case anyone else missed it!

    I don't have anything funny, just unusual:
    1. I had an aunt whose married name was Mary Christmas.
    2. In my family tree there are people named California and Arkansas.
    3. I went to school with a girl named Grace Lord. Good thing is wasn't Mercy Lord.
    4. My kid's dentist used to be Dr. Spitz.

    The worst I've ever heard of was a little girl whose leagal name was "Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii". True story. A judge had to get involved because she was so embarrased about it.
