    When I decided to become a Teacher, my dad advised me to adopt another surname - however, the kids soon made mince meat out of that one too both shall remain unnamed...have known a Jack Frost and Tinker Bell. In one of the schools I worked at, the Home Science department staff was named Miss Ovens, Mrs Baker, Mrs Kitchen and Mr Wine and the Agricultural Dept was Mr Weedman, Mr Wildman, Mr Rake and Mr Flower (Often wondered if the Personnel Department had a lot of fun appointing those ones).

    I worked in Saudia Arabia about 15 years ago. One of my patients was "Mohammed Matha Faqua"!
    Just last week one of the ladies was talking about the family name Peacock. The daughter was named Drew! How can parents do these things to their children? What a fun thread though!

    I had a student once named - Sir Spurgeon Marvel Bushrod Temple. NO JOKE. I asked him what name he wanted to go by - he said, "Man.".

    I work in a store, and we get some really funny names sometimes!
    Hmm...LOL! I have a friend and apparently her husband did not have the same issues - her name is Tracy Tracy.
