Funny Names

Recently I came across some names that sounded funny. I thought I would share with you those names.

One of the pitchers for Philadelphia Phillies (Baseball Team in USA) is named Antonio Bastardo.

Then there was the famous German mathematician, Rudolph Lipschitz. The Lipschitz Continuity Condition is named after him.

In England, a family’s last name is Hore. Think of the redicule the women in that family have gone through. Very sad.

I saw this name in the facebook. Adam Baum.

Dr. & Dr. Doctor. In the web I noticed 2 couples with the last name Doctor. All of them are real doctors. Dr. Judith Klein Doctor and her husband Dr. Leslie C. Doctor practice in Connecticut. Dr. Dipika D. Doctor and her husband Dr. Dilip S. Doctor practice in the State of New York.

There is an actress-model in USA. Her name is Paige Turner.

If you have come across any funny name, please let me know. Thanks.

I will be off on vacation and back on June 20th.

Take care.

    Hey SG,

    Funny read...here are a few more I knew in high school and college:

    Somchit Sithandone (Some S--T Sitting Down)
    Brothers Hoa and Moa
    Sisters La and Ha
    My bro's roommate Ufuk (pronounced Oo-Fook)
    A girl named Bich (pronounced Bick)

    My own real name is a strange one. My last name sounds like "go in the garage."

    -JaGo

    Funny indeed.An Indian surname I can recall now - "Furniturewalah" meaning 'furniture man'
    Incidentally the person owns a chain of stores selling furniture.

    A few more I remembered...

    Tara White and Tara Black were friends from school. What makes it really interesting is that Tara White is a black girl and Tara Black is a white girl.
