Great Real Names

I met a bunch of people from this cult. I worked in a restaurant next to their "offices".

They all have retarded names. Like "heart spider", "morning Cloud", "Puff the magic dragon".

oh yeah, I also had a lawsuit once where all the plaintiffs were members of some weird christian sect and were named stuff like Wonderful Friendship Jackson and Loving Hope Freeman

Jason Math

just read this on cnn about the chinese espionage bust:

Dongfan "Greg" Chung, 72, a Chinese native who is a naturalized U.S. citizen, had been an employee of Rockwell International for more than 30 years.

yeah, i suppose i'd go by "greg" too.

There is a cricketer called Napoleon Einstein, he plays for the Chennai Super Kings!

I'm no Tokyo Sexwhale, but my name is L3x (Al3xis) D1cks... sorry that I had to google-proof it. Googling my full name already yields some 2001 ILX posts, I don't need more!

My sisters name is L3x (Al3x1s) J0hnson.

I just called up my old boss as a referee for a new job, hadn't spoken to him in years, he's a total bro: D4ll4s |\|utt3r

Various ex-clients and associates:

Mister M3l0n - I thought it was pronounced as in "Carnegie Mellon", his secretary told me that it wasn't. Very difficult to keep from laughing when I spoke to him on the phone.

D0ct0r Fuch5 - pronounced "fucks", German guy, genuinely didn't have any idea what his name meant in English, got very cross when I intentionally mispronounced it to avoid offending him... "Why is it that English people have such trouble pronouncing my name correctly? It is F-U-C-H-S FUCKS!!!"

A guy named after a particular copyrighted name for a plastic flying disc.

A woman whose surname meant "piglet" in French.

Also there was a girl who was named after a particular Latin American band.

nobody can top Artemis Pyle.
except maybe Cosmin Contra.

Also there was a girl who was named after a particular Latin American band.

I bet that Herb-Alpert's-Tijuana-Brass Johnson didn't get out much!

People actually frequently laugh when they hear my last name. It's happened twice in the last couple of days.

Is it "Von Trapp"?

No. Maria's not my actual first name, either.

(which makes me feel kind of bad posting under it when there is a real Maria, but I have been for years and there's at least one person in ILX who posts under my real name, so why bother switching?)

Massimo Possible.

Italian for "maximum possibility". actual name of guy I met while travelling.

Annabel Else

A great AP byline I saw the other day: Nedra Pickler.

Bongo Christ (born 11 August 1976 in Zaire) is a football player from the DR Congo. He has played for SV Wilhelmshaven, Hannover 96, Gazélec Ajaccio, FC Aarau, FC Schaffhausen, FC Solothurn, FC Thun and FC 105 Libreville.

His name has featured in many lists of footballer's unusual names.

Nedra is rather well known in the politicosphere, nate

Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii has changed her name.

But that still leaves Violence, Number 16 Bus Shelter, Midnight Chardonnay, and Benson and Hedges.

And that's not Talula Does The Hula who is from Hawaii, but Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii.

PResumably "Number 16 Bus Shelter" was a satire based on 'place of conception' a'la Posh&Becks'

Dumb article, as I linked elsewhere, but:

Hoseen Ali
