Anyone hear what Scott Mills is doing on Radio 1? It's hilarious....he's going thru an American phone book or summat & picking out names that sound funny & calling the people to hear them say it.

One was taken off the air and not repeated....it was Harry Minge no shiznit :lol:

the shitthead one is an urban legend being a teacher I've heard them all.

Eheh, my bad then. I'm one of those people that general believes things they are told by their teachers unless the teacher prooves to be an untrustworthy source. Oh well, chalk one up to teachers lying to students.

My fiancee's name is pretty bad. Especially the way his dad says it's supposed to be pronounced. Of course, this means nothing if you don't speak english but... his name is said like this: 'Hairy Cordweiner' spelled differently of course.

She does a hilarious skewering of insane people on a baby name board who want to come up with original names for their kids. My favorite was "Scatman".

I remember a news story about someone naming their son after the channel ESPN. I guess they decided to pronounce it "s-pin".

I have a colleague who used to work for the company that scored the college entrance tests some years back. My gosh, some of the names were hysterical. I can't remember them all, but I distinctly remember one applicant's first name was Enema, and then another was Queen Victoria, and then of course there were always a few named after historical figues, like George Washington.

I volunteered for a local campaign and addressed an envelope to Fannie Moon.

I went to high school with a Christopher Christopher.

These names, however, aren't nearly as funny as some others posted on this thread!
