Oh My... what have we started....?

There's a whole website dedicated to them.... called (unsurprisingly) hilariousnames.com.... More US-based, but that just seems to make 'em funnier...

Take a look:

Rusty Pipes (Airway Heights, WA) – Rusty always felt his parents pressured him to take over the family plumbing business a little too early in life.

Mercedes Benz (Cypress, TX) – Who knew that the famous Janis Joplin song was actually about human trafficking?

Phil McCracken (Weed, CA) – How many wedgies a day do you think poor Phil got at school? 10? 20? Let’s just pray he never goes to jail.

Dusty Rhodes (Ada, OK) – In Oklahoma there are plenty of dusty roads but only one of ‘em is a person.

Anita Morehead (Garland, TX) – This should be considered child abuse. I’m not kidding.

Pierce E Paine (Columbia, MD) – The best thing Pierce can do is become a doctor or go by Mr.

Mary Christmas (Americus, GA) – There are actually quite a few Mary Christmas’s so all you parents who think you’re being funny & clever… you’re not. It’s been done. A LOT.

Dear Beloved (Placida, FL) – How badly do you hope their middle mane is Lee?

Candy Cain (Chicago, IL) – Do you suppose her parents were surprised when their precious little girl grew up to become a stripper?

Mary Juana (Ligonier, PA) – Please Mary, just one last dance? I’d almost be willing to pay for Mary to move next door to Phil from #3, or at least in the same town…

PHIL McCRACKEN??!?!??! - Mandrake, can I change my username please?

Mandrake, can I change my username please?

Oh how this seed has grown

A 19th-century Texas politician (later state governor) by the name of Jim Hogg named his daughter Ima. It's widely believed the intention was to build her character and make her tough-skinned. Sceptics said it was a pre-election bid for attention. He took the name from a poem written by her uncle, so it's possible he didn't notice the double entendre.

She became a well-known and highly respected member of Texas society, renowned as a philanthropist and patron of the arts until her death in 1975.

Ima Hogg

In regards to the original story if I was the editor of such a respected paper and realised the childish sniggers it would have created I would have asked my P.A there and then to pull Boyes off


I thank you!

All requests to change Usernames to any of the above will be handled in the usual professional and impartial way - a long as such requests are written on a £50 note and posted first class to the Mods, of course...

Yonks ago I used to work with a guy called Richard Head and boy was he fed up of all the jokes!!

See also this Smoking Gun collection of people asking to change their names, generally for very obvious reasons.
