My last name is a common name, but it's one that gets made fun of a lot by making a very minor change. All my life I've been referred to as a furry portion of the anatomy, which fits anyway as I'm quite furry! -TD

My last name is Harder...so people are always saying stuff to me...lol.

Some of the kids that used to go to school where I live were named Stormy, Lighting, Thunder and Wendy.

One of the weirdest names I've seen was Pirate Howmon Davis (the kid of Korns lead singer)

Saw a name in the ole phone book some years ago with the name of CHUCK U. FARLEY.

Also worked with a friend whose name was Albert Albert.

I won't even mention the late Frank Zappa's kids names-Moon and Dweezil

There is a family in Water Valley MS called the 'Vanwinkles'. They named their oldest son Rip and their daughter Twinkle. Poor kids.
