I've run into a few strange names in the insurance business, notably:

BJ Freemore
Dick Gobbler

For the life of me, why wouldn't these folks use a different first name?


Back in my personal lines days, I had an agent in Florida named Richard Head...insisted everyone call him Dick.

I always giggled.

Reminds me of this from back in the day

A school teacher friend sent this to me. This is a child’s name!

Quote:
“Le – a”

How would you pronounce this as a child’s name???

Leah?? NO

Lee – A?? NOPE

Lay – a?? NO

Lei?? Guess Again.

Are you resorting to tongue clicks yet??

It’s pronounced “Ledasha” oh yes…you read it right. The dash is not silent.

This child attends a school in Livingston Parish. (Louisiana)

Her mother is irate because everyone is getting her name wrong. SO, if you see something come across your desk like this please remember to pronounce the dash. When the mother was asked about the pronunciation of the name, she said “the dash don’t be silent.”

Craziest name I ever saw was Sharkita, and I used to get a lot of mileage out of that joke until the famous teen Sharkeisha beat the living daylights out of her unsuspecting friend. I won't even link to it; I can't stand videos like that.

I had a boss years back and he said once he had a black guy working for him first named "Crankshaft". That's no bs.

Imagine a teacher looking down at the name on the first day of school.

Teacher: Michael Jones
Michael: Here!
Teacher: Karen Wilson
Karen: Present!
Teacher: WTF!? Ummm...ABCDE?
Classroom: :cry: :lol: :cry: :lol:
ABCDE: It's Ab city
Teacher: :lol: :lol: No, it's ABCDE.

Agreed.

I am a firm believer in pronouncing names the way I like to pronounce them, NOT the way you like them pronounced.

. . . Got that from my High School Algebra Teacher.

I went to high school with a kid who's last name was Shue.

His Dad's name was James, but for some stupid reason, he went by Jim.

Correct. Crankshaft was a terrible spinoff of a terrible comic.
