Cool Names (for Fun)

I met a guy once that was named "JACK FROST" he liked to drink and finally got wise that when he was asked his name by the police he just would hand them his ID card.

I also met "JAMES BOND whose father was JAMES BOND too.

THESE names could be hard to deal with and cause some funny incidents. What have the rest of you come across ??

My wife went to school with "ROBIN HOOD" can you imarine getting pulled over with that name and the cop saying "SURE pal and I'm the Sheriff of Nottingham ....

Get out of the car wise guy Guy !!!!!!!

I had a math teacher named Dusty Rhodes, and a neighbor kid named Marion . . . really. He grew up tough as nails, too.

. . I still call him "Mary".

I have a good friend named Jack Meehoff - no joke, I made him show me his drivers license when we first met. You can just imagine the ribbing he gets.

That poor guy couldn't even join this forum. Every time he posted, his name would be removed from the thread by a moderator.

I used to work with a man named Richard Stroker and He did not use any nickmanes or shorteded versions of Richard! He demanded to be called Richard.

I also worked with a woman whose name was Judy Judy. You were always right whether you used her first or her last name!

I always get a smile inside when I hear celebrity names like Rip Torn and race car driver Dick Trickle.

A guy used to work for my day named Bud Wiser. Not sure if Bud was a nick name or his real name though.

Also, have a friend I was in the Army with named Billy Hill. Now, imagine roll call: "Smith, Nicholas ; Hill, Billy"

I figured it was short for William, but sure enough, Billy was his actual name

You have to wonder what parents were thinking when they named someone Richard Trickler, etc...
