4. Ronald McDonald
I went to school with him. He went by Ron or Ronnie. By the way, I'm young enough that the dumb fast food clown was around when this poor kid was born. To make matters worse, he had bright red hair. Yeah, I didn't envy his middle school experience.

6. Not as good as that one, but I knew someone back in high school
Who went by Penny Nickols. I think her first name may have been something more formal, but nobody ever called her anything else. Also knew an April May.

When I sold advertising I called a place who told me Mike Hunt was his manager..I knew it was BS, I always said on my last day I would phone back and ask the guy and if I got the same answer freak out and say "I'm coming down there right now!" Just to make him sweat all afternoon...never did it though.

28. There's a guy named Phuc
who works the door at the local Sam's Club (no, I don't shop there anymore!). His namebadge says it in huge letters, PHUC. I think I'd acquire a nickname if I moved to another country and discovered my given name was a naughty word.

I just hope his last name doesn't start with a U.

37. *snork* I had a student named Phuc
Vietnamese, I think?

Anyway, I taught physics 101, a 500+ student class. There were 12 TAs and after each exam, we'd all get together for a grading party, and grade the exams by discussion section. People wanted to get his discussion section, because we all delighted in saying "Awww, Phuc!" every time he got an answer wrong. Which wasn't that often; he was an A student.

He's a Houston artist; a true hippy, he had a juicer at his openings so patrons could drink organic carrot juice instead of insipid white wine.

Although I never met her, one of Houston's finest philanthropists was the great Ima Hogg.

However, my favorite names belongs to an anthropolist: Dr. Lionel Tiger!

49. I met Santa Klause
Edited on Fri Dec-19-03 05:53 PM by foxy
We were at a commodities pick up. He was in line where we got to cut in. We got to cut in because we were in the wrong line for 2 hours and while we were waiting I helped go and return shopping carts. Well when my roommate started feeling tired because of her fibromyalgia acting up I told guy I was helping and he went a got a spot in front of Santa himself. I thought it was poetic. My roommate had just said that all she wanted for Christmas was to get through the line. Wallah'.

True story.

on edit I forgot to mention that he showed us his ID it actually said Santa Klaus

51. Steve Hitler
His granddad had put in an extra T during WW2 but his dad took it back out. He was from a small town in Michigan where his family had lived for generations and evidently nobody there thought twice about his family name. He was somewhat pained that anybody made a fuss about it.

I also went to grade school with kids named Clarence Yingling, Keith Krickle and James Urb.

60. You pick: Joy Disney, or Rosie Hooker Hooey?
The first one to spring to mind is probably Joy Disney, who grew up Catholic in the southern US somewhere. She's now (or was, the last time I saw her) a 40-something Goth babe.

The second one I thought of would be a friend of my mom and dad's, named Keith Hooey, who married a woman named Rosie Hooker. I'm not sure whether that's an improvement or not.

I went to high school with a Gary Cooper, and I knew of a guy named Robin Hood. There's a Dr. Beath locally who changed his name from a D to a B. There's also a local pediatric podiatrist named Dr. Foote.
