What's in a name?

About 6 years ago I had a problem with my eyes so my doctor (who spoke with a thick Irish accent) decided to refer me to the eye department at the local hospital. I was a bit surprised to be told "They'll probably recommend you to masturbate". (My mother always told me that was why my eyes went funny in the first place) but the conversation became totally confusing with neither the doctor nor I understanding what the other was going on about.

Fortunately, I can report that on turning up at the hospital with a large box of Kleenex, I discovered the Consultant Eye Surgeon, Mr Bate, to be a thoroughly competent fellow.

Similar to another, I once had the misfortune to have a supervisor by the name of Richard Head.

All I can say is he lived up to his name 100% :D

I had a friend whose last name was Wise. He named his first born son Guy. No problem until he fills out a form last name first!

Went school with a boy whose last name was Hoar. Most kids picked on him saying his grandmothers first name was Ima. Then he changed his last name to Rust. most called him a Rusty Hoar after the name change. Also work with a guy named Shawn Beach.

I actually have one about a classmate of my oldest son. Pretty unbelievable, and I think I might have written about it here before.

Pronounced: Ashely, just like Ashley, with an extra syllable. but it is written A s s h o l e. Poor girl.

There's the old Reader's Digest story of the person who was only given the initials/name "RB Jones" (as in 'Arby'). In completing a (tax) form the thing was returned since it had no full first/middle names on it! So Mr. Jones put R (only) B (only) and the next communication was addressed to:

Mr. Ronly Bonly Jones........:lmao:

Then there was the case of the Bernards, who couldn't agree on the first name of their son so they called him anonymous. He went by the nickname of nony.

Also, my mother's maiden name was Violet Ditzler. Think of having those initials.
