Funny Names

[timvp]

Ever know anyone with a funny name. I have a business associate in India who has the first name Wannaporn. That's a tough one to beat.

I used to work with someone with the last name Heimendong... not sure how it was spelled, but it was pronounced like that.

I went to high school with a dude named Mike Hawk.

There was an Alotta ina in one of the Austin Powers movies, I think.

Favorite movie line of all time:

"I'm Pussy Galore."

"But of course you are . . . "

[ShoogarBear]

This being Texas, you guys have to mention Ima Hogg.

I think I may have a few to top them all. I was working at citibank when I was 18 (phone customer service) and I was just out of training, still in OJT when I received a call. Now over the course of a call we were required to say the customers name at least twice. One of the first calls I got was from Mr. Dikfuk. Yeah, I had to say that twice while basically still in training, and all at the mature age of 18! A couple of weeks later I had a call from Mr Mihunglo, and if that wasnt enough, his mothers maiden name was lyngho. Now on the maiden name I would have gone with "leeng-ho" for the pronunciation, but he was the one who said it (when I asked for verification), and he pronounced it "lying-ho."

Lovely

Methinks those calls were from co-workers.
