    My mom Donna Reed her boss Bill Deposit no kidding they did a News spot about them!!! Even better she was sick and in the hospital and if you are familiar with the Donna Reed show there was a doctor on the show I cannot remember his name but The doctor she had in the hospital had the same name. So it was a running joke for the week!

    At where I worked we had to do cold calls and the name that popped up on the screen Phuc yu. NO joke I quickly hung up the phone.

    A girl I grew up with was Cristal. She married a Mr. Ball. Thus her name is really Cristal Ball.

    Ooh soooooo many unusual names.

    I worked with a gal named Candy Kane and a kid named Justin Case.

    I used to go to school with a kid named Frank Footer. We thought he would grow up to work for Oscar Meyer. He fooled us and became a podiatrist!

    My friend's little sister's name is Monica Harm, which seems inncocent enough unless it is shown in alphbetical order by last name, like on a roster:
    Harm, Monica

    There are some interesting business names also, like the Dedman Hospital in Dallas TX and the Deadman Funeral Home in TN.
