There was once a urologist around here named Dr. Sprinkle. [:)]
A lady, whose last name I forget, but her first name was Fonda, married a fellow whose last name was Peters. Fonda Peters. [:D]
My grandparents wanted to be prepared for either sex when they were expecting their firstborn, my father. First name Merle, middle name Laverne. I have known men and women named Merle, but never a man named Laverne. [?]
Maternity nurses in rural Arkansas used to mess with some of the poor, poorly-educated minority types, who were often delivering their 10th or 11th child at taxpayer expense. Often they would ask for help naming a baby, since they had long since exhausted their own imaginations.
One suggestion that took was "Syphilis." Pronounced si-FIE-lis.
Another was "Gonorrhea." Pronounced gu-NOR-re-uh.
Still another was "Pajama." Pronounced PA-jah-mah.

A guy used to be a regular at our shop named Richard Oder. And yea, he went by Dick. And Dick Trickle always makes me chuckle. (I'm immature!) There was a writer in one of the big motorcycle magazines years ago named Tyrone VanHooeydonk. (sp?)

My cousin's name is "Howdy" Now most people might think he got teased alot, but not when you grow up to 6'5" and start on a Division I National Championship football team as a tackle. "Smile when you say that"
My grandma told me about one of her students whose name was "Maus Shet"
Then there was the guy that laid the brick for my parents' fireplace: "Harry Dick" Really. Scout's honor that was his name.
Oh and the one above with "ABCDE" she was a name sake out her as well. Man, I tell you I don't see that one making it into the baby name book.
