Great Real Names

Zaytoon Matchiswala {Olive of the Match family}

in retrospect, Aym3ric Fr@ise is kinda interesting

Good one in my own family, my great-grandfather, LaMonte Mercereau.

Ruby Mae Mozingo

gurf morlix

Sophal Um

Junior Agogo.

Gillian Mckeith has a daughter called Afton Magaziner.

With a last name like that, I'd at least try to give my child a semblance of normality with a usual sounding first name. But Afton? Isn't that in Surrey somewhere?

Knox Burger

And I once worked with a campanologist called Dickon Love.

I swear to god: Britney Timberlake.

V0ndarius H4wk1ns

My friend had him as a student in...2d grade, I think?

One of my clients had the first name J4tlaneezy, and another was W00lfdy.

Byron F. Iglesias

There was a name change application in one of the courts I cover filed by a guy named Mohammed Butt

It was actually for his daughter, whose name was something like Shareefa Butt.

He actually wrote, under reason for name change, "I want my daughter to stop being the butt of jokes"

But the best part was that the court office lady who showed it to me went on like this for about five minutes straight:

"Hi there, I'm Mr. Butt"
(long pause)
"Hey, I'm Mr. Butt, I'm here for my appointment."
(long pause)
"This is my wife, Mrs. Butt"

I met a bunch of people from this cult. I worked in a restaurant next to their "offices".

They all have retarded names. Like "heart spider", "morning Cloud", "Puff the magic dragon".

oh yeah, I also had a lawsuit once where all the plaintiffs were members of some weird christian sect and were named stuff like Wonderful Friendship Jackson and Loving Hope Freeman

Jason Math

just read this on cnn about the chinese espionage bust:

Dongfan "Greg" Chung, 72, a Chinese native who is a naturalized U.S. citizen, had been an employee of Rockwell International for more than 30 years.

yeah, i suppose i'd go by "greg" too.

There is a cricketer called Napoleon Einstein, he plays for the Chennai Super Kings!

I'm no Tokyo Sexwhale, but my name is L3x (Al3xis) D1cks... sorry that I had to google-proof it. Googling my full name already yields some 2001 ILX posts, I don't need more!

My sisters name is L3x (Al3x1s) J0hnson.

I just called up my old boss as a referee for a new job, hadn't spoken to him in years, he's a total bro: D4ll4s |\|utt3r

I work with H@rry J0hn$0n

Saw a customer record last week. Obviously not the name he was born with: R4phael Pr1nce Pr1nce-R4phael.

Rusty Kuntz

Various ex-clients and associates:

Mister M3l0n - I thought it was pronounced as in "Carnegie Mellon", his secretary told me that it wasn't. Very difficult to keep from laughing when I spoke to him on the phone.

D0ct0r Fuch5 - pronounced "fucks", German guy, genuinely didn't have any idea what his name meant in English, got very cross when I intentionally mispronounced it to avoid offending him... "Why is it that English people have such trouble pronouncing my name correctly? It is F-U-C-H-S FUCKS!!!"

A guy named after a particular copyrighted name for a plastic flying disc.

A woman whose surname meant "piglet" in French.

Also there was a girl who was named after a particular Latin American band.

nobody can top Artemis Pyle.
except maybe Cosmin Contra.

Also there was a girl who was named after a particular Latin American band.

I bet that Herb-Alpert's-Tijuana-Brass Johnson didn't get out much!

People actually frequently laugh when they hear my last name. It's happened twice in the last couple of days.

Is it "Von Trapp"?

No. Maria's not my actual first name, either.

(which makes me feel kind of bad posting under it when there is a real Maria, but I have been for years and there's at least one person in ILX who posts under my real name, so why bother switching?)

Massimo Possible.

Italian for "maximum possibility". actual name of guy I met while travelling.

are you sure? i mean, did you see id?

Annabel Else

are you sure? i mean, did you see id?

A great AP byline I saw the other day: Nedra Pickler.

Bongo Christ (born 11 August 1976 in Zaire) is a football player from the DR Congo. He has played for SV Wilhelmshaven, Hannover 96, Gazélec Ajaccio, FC Aarau, FC Schaffhausen, FC Solothurn, FC Thun and FC 105 Libreville.

His name has featured in many lists of footballer's unusual names.

Nedra is rather well known in the politicosphere, nate
