i'm not joking. coincidences like that almost make me believe that god exists, and has an amazing sense of humor.

There's a used car lot back east that I was fascinated by called "Mimi Dragone's". I found out that Mimi was a man, too.

― youn, Thursday, 19 September 2002 01:57 (twenty-one years ago) link

Miles is my confirmation name.

There's a film critic for the LA Weekly whose name i really like: Hazel Dawn Dumpert. And ever since I saw "Christiane F." I've loved the name Detlev.

Yeah. Well, at least I got to. I was told later on that I should have picked the name of a saint, not just any old name I liked. But they didn't make me change it.

Marilyn Monore used to use the psuedonym ...Zelda Zonk....God Bless Her.............

― gazza, Friday, 20 September 2002 12:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

All those dirty ones are great and I just couldn't compete. But my favourite real name of today not relating to penises would still have to be Mimsy Farmer. There was a girl at my school called Buffy Pussell which my granny used to find hilarious too. Pseudonyms don't count because you don't have to live with them, I reckon...

― alex, Friday, 20 September 2002 13:02 (twenty-one years ago) link

Excellent corporate name culled from today's data entry:

There's a girl at Exeter Uni called Foxy Demeanour. This always causes much confusion/hilarity in the library. Sadly I think she may have left at the end of last academic year.

The author of The Picture Guide to Learning Guitar : Arthur Dick

Also, pity poor Everton midfielder Nicky Butt. The surname's bad enough, but when matched with Nicholas as a first name? WTF were his parents thinking???

Does "Fab Sheath" still work as a cashier in your bank, Dr C? Do you even have a local bank branch any more, or has it changed into a trendy wine bar?

― C J, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 07:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Also, there is a wonderful bluegrass performer whose actual name ("god-given" as I overheard another concert attendant say) is Langhorne Slim.

― Andi Mags, Friday, 18 May 2007 02:28 (seventeen years ago) link

An old math teacher of mine told me that she once taught a set of identical twins who were named Lenmonjello and Orangello (with a j sound, not a hard G) respectively. Unfortunately I was not privy to the last name.

To change your name by Deed Poll in the UK costs just £34. Including VAT. You can do it instantly online here. Exercise your democratic right and change your name today! Or do it for a friend! I suggest either 'Bumptious Skimpster' or 'Piss Pot'.

I met a guy whose middle name was "Danger" something like Jason Danger Patterson. Then I found this:

From the UK Deed Poll Office Online :

" One of the most popular middle names added is Danger, inspiration for which comes from the film Austin Powers, International Man Of Mystery where the character Austin Powers, upon being being released from custody, tells a guard "Danger is my middle name." Every week, there is at least one Deed Poll to someone who makes Danger their middle name. " - http://www.ukdeedpolloffice.org/

Makes sense now haha
