Baroness Garden of Frognal

Josh Groban

Justi*n Sukup (must have been tough in grade school)

Ross Voss

I see freeway signs for a car dealer named Krap0hl and found out recently that one the founders was named Harold who I really hope he went by "harry" at some point in his life.

Turner E. Hubby

Duckens Nazon

Chasten Buttigieg

I really thought his name was Buttleg until today

Platt D. Babbitt

19th century photographer who took pictures of a guy while he was spending 18 hours hanging on to a branch before dying down niagara falls after a failed rescue, and then sold it in his tourist trap shop!

My friend has a business meeting with a Đildo tomorrow - apparently a Croatian first name. I would have thought that if you're based in London you would surely go by a different name.

I was going to mention the name of the guy who runs the funeral home that took care of my parents' funeral arrangements but I see that Devilock already mentioned him on August 31, 2015. Let me tell you, though: while Dick Tips has a comedy name and that was a bizarre news story, they were nothing but kind and professional when I had dealings with them and I couldn't have asked for a better company, especially with regards to my mom's arrangements when I was making them by myself.

Another local LOLsome name is the founder of our one big supermarket chain, Howard E. Butt, hence the name HEB. No, I am not making this up, and yes, it is the absolute best supermarket chain around.

The sudden rise in awareness of the surname "Buttigieg" in the U.S. (thanks to Pete Buttigieg) is kinda funny to me because for the longest time I'd always associated that surname with Canadian home organizing guru (kinda a proto-Marie Kondo minus the gimmickry) Hellen Buttigieg, whose show "Neat" became a mini-obsession for me back in 2015 - 2016.

Dick Posthumus

from a cursory google she seems cool but I'm sorry, mayor of san francisco "London Breed", you have a weird name.

Sithole is a very common South African (Zulu) surname.

Leone Sextus Denys Oswolf Fraudatifilius Tollemache-Tollemache de Orellana Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemache

I named my new foster cat jonjo shelvey

that's too many tollemaches

His surname at birth was "Tollemache-Tollemache", his father having doubled his original surname, "Tollemache", in 1876 after his second marriage. "de Orellana" derives from the naming customs of Spain, where his mother came from, and is a forename rather than part of his surname. The first "Tollemache-Tollemache" also seems to be an unusual forename. Leone was Ralph's sixth son, hence "Sextus". "Fraudatifilius" is Latin for "son of the defrauded one". "Leone" repeats a pattern seen in the names of his elder brothers and sisters (Lyonel, Lyonesse, Lyulph, Lyona, Leo, Lyonella and Lyonetta). His first five initials, "LSD OF", may include a reference to the divisions of the pre-decimal British currency, £sd, for pounds, shillings, and pence followed by half-pence (ob., "obol") and farthings (i.e., quarter-pence). This may be a reference to a financial dispute between his father Ralph and Ralph's first wife's trustees which had driven him bankrupt in 1863.[4] Similarly, an elder brother was named Lyulph Ydwallo Odin Nestor Egbert Lyonel Toedmag Hugh Erchenwyne Saxon Esa Cromwell Orma Nevill Dysart Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemache[5]—his first 15 initials spell "LYONEL THE SECOND". In practice, Leone shortened his name to "Leone Sextus Tollemache".

"He died on active service on 20 February 1917 from double pneumonia" and doubtless would have died of even more pneumonia if he could get it

lol

The text size on my work computer is clearly set way too low because I initially misread that as 'Toiletmachete'.

(And yes, text size is directly responsible for my brain inserting multiple rogue 't's into a given word, thank you for asking.)

The motherlode.

His imagination took flight when he named the many children from his second marriage:

Lyonetta Edith Regina Valentine Myra Polwarth Avelina Phillipa Violantha de Orellana Plantagenet (14 February 1887 – 7 January 1951)

Lyunulph Cospatrick Bruce Berkeley Jermyn Tullibardine Petersham de Orellana Dysart Plantagenet (11 January 1892 – 30 November 1960)

Append 'Tollemache-Tollemache' to each of those names, obv.

that's too many kids

recently encountered someone called gr@ham gr@y and i felt my very soul draining right out of my body just mouthing those words to myself in silent horror

That's in addition to initial five, which he sired with his cousin Caroline Tollemache-Tollemache.
