I collect double phallic names!
I'm not kidding. I really do.

Before I begin, this is not a sex thread. It's a language thread.

Here are the rules:

Both names must be clearly phallic.

The person has to actually exist. No invented people.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Dick Pole - Former pitching coach for the Cubs
Dick Johnson - Local newscaster
Blind Willie Johnson - Blues musician

And my all time favorite:

Peter O'Toole

1. Doesn't really qualify, but....
In Nashville, I worked under a chef named Dick Pigg. It was hard to refrain from sniggering when asking to speak with him on the phone.

10. My husbands actual name
John Cox.

And there are several more just like him in the phone book.

The funniest part is that occasionally someone, usually teenage girls, ask me how I spell my last name. And I have actually recieved mail addressed to "XXXXX Cocks".

Anyway, I did not name my son Peter.
