The word...

I just saw a guy on LinkedIn with the surname Tickle. Holy moly... I'm not sure I could deal with that. Have any of you ever known someone with that last name? That's my first encounter with it.

I've not known anyone by that name on a personal level, but I have ran into a few people with the name a few times. Perhaps I never got close enough to them because it made me too uncomfortable lol. I couldn't imagine having a teacher when I was going to school with that name. If I had to say "Ms. Tickle" one time out loud I'd probably have died right then and there! Here in Tennessee, the University of Tennessee has the Tickle College of Engineering. I was disappointed to learn that they do not focus their curricula around developing new tickle tools and techniques. Turns out it's just another school named after a donor. Also somewhat interesting, but also a little disappointing is that the surname Tickle has nothing to do with tickling, and is really just an evolution of an older set of names referring to a location.

I've only ever saw the name on a piece of paper. Lol. Yeah... if I had to say the name aloud, even if I didn't show it, I would have been very uncomfortable.
But, also, think about it from their perspective. They probably got all kinds of grief when they were young, and imagine if they hated being tickled while having a name that just invites people to do it. I mean, I'm sure as they are older it's whatever; no one really cares past a certain age, but you know when they were younger it must have been irritating as hell. Lol.

I knew of a guy named Mr.Tickle. He had a round body and extremely long arms.

do any families have the last name ‘Ticklish’ ? cause I would not be able to cope with having that name

I've seen the last name Tickle a couple of times, but have never personally known anyone with that name.

On a related note, I once worked at a store that carried a line of ice cream products called TickleBelly. It was a weird feeling whenever a customer brought some to the register.
