Worst name ever

[Mitchell]

LOL Tom! I took Spanish history, and the professor never told us that! That is similar to my finding of J J Putz. Great name, thanks for sharing, it made me laugh.

That reminded me of something I heard regarding the sell of the Chevy Nova in Central America. I don't know if it is true or not but I was told that Chevrolet flopped when they tried to sell the Nova in Central America because in Spanish,' No Va' means 'doesn't go'.

 

[Mitchell]

Buggsy, after reading your post, it brought tears to my eyes from laughter. My friend came over and read what you had to say, and the two of us were laughing so hard we had tears in our eyes! Dick Sniffer! OMG! LMAO! Good one, buddy, on par with JJ Putz, probably even better, considering the circumstances you had to ask the questions under.

I have another one, but I dont think it's as bad as Dick Sniffer or JJ Putz. In Larry Hagman's autobiography:"Hello, Darlin", he talks about an encounter he had with a funeral home worker after the death of his mother, actress Mary Martin. Hagman stated that he called the funeral home, inquiring about his mother's ashes, and was told that "Mr Weasel is on his way out to mail the ashes to you" When Hagman asked:" Who's going to mail them again?" , and the person repeated. "Mr Weasel" Hagman said he started cracking up with laughter, then told his friend, Dallas co- star Patrick Duffy, that Mr Weasel was going to mail the ashes. Hagman says Duffy cracked up too, and by that time both men were laughing so hard at the name Weasel that neither could speak, and the funeral home worker thought Hagman was crying, and offered his condolences that Hagman was taking his mother's death so hard, when in fact he was in uncontrollable laughter due to the name Weasel. It may not be as hilarious as Dick Sniffer or JJ Putz, but Hagman made the situation sound just as funny with his reaction.
As I think of it again, Dick Sniffer?? OMG Buggs how did you get through that call!? I would have been hysterical on the floor not able to speak from laughing so much!

if Tuesday Wells married Captain Joe Friday, would she be Tuesday Friday?

i for one don't care for the name sigmund.

 

[JoBelle]

Well, I certainly do not think the worst name is Belle as SOME would think. 😡

I personally don't like the names Mortimer or Prudence.

This is from a movie, but it also spoofs the name "Dick". I dont know if anyone here ever saw a movie from a couple of years ago called "Dick" with Kirsten Dunst and Dan Hedaya. It is basically a stupid spoof of White House dog walkers, played by Dunst and Dawson's Creek's Michelle Williams, who are involved in helping to uncover the Watergate scandal. At the end of the movie, after Nixon resigns, and he is being whisked away in a helicopter, with Carly Simon's "You're So Vain" playing in the background, Dunst and Williams hold up a sign for the passing helicopter that Tricky Dick sees which says "You Suck, Dick!" LMAO! Stupid spoof, but think about it, if someone says that sentence, it can be hilarious if said the right way! LOL!

I went to school with a kid name Trishel and everyone called him "tissue"

 

[mgctouch]

When I was young, there were three brothers in the same school. Their last name was Holiday. Their first names were: YANKEE; REBEL; and DAY.

Hey Mitchell

The thing I don't get is that this was the late 80's, and the guy had to know what a name like "Dick Sniffer" now meant in society. Unless he truly either lived on a desert island, or under a rock, he had to know that it was the ultimate "dumb-ass" name. I just couldn't figure out why he was so adamant about me calling him "Dick". And he wasn't making it up either because we were calling off of voter registration lists. I think I, and everyone else for that matter, would have changed my name to something else had it been me. Either by the time I had talked to him it had been beaten to death in his life to the point that he didn't care, or he was just oblivious to it. And the funniest thing to me also was, if you can imagine what a guy named Dick Sniffer's voice would be like, that is what it sounded like. I mean his voice matched his name to a T. So another strike down in the eyes of fate for sniffing "Dick".

Names

I wonder about names sometimes. My job exposes me to many of them.

Interesting names have included:

Honey Sweet
Dusty Field
Wynter Moon
Byron Seeja (pronounced Bye Ron See Ya)

I wonder what parents think sometimes.

Yours in Ogredom,

Okay this isnt a person, but I dont know HOW I could have forgotten this. When my parents were still married, we lived in Westport, Ct, and one of the pizza places there was named, and I swear to this,
S and M pizza! LOL! At the time, I was young, so I didnt exactly think about it in a sexual term. Looking back on it now, it is hilarious, I mean, imagine a pizza joint where S and M went on! LOL!
A side bar to this. When I do business, I always put my name first on business cards, this being because I work with my mom, her name is Sheila, and I am Mitch, so it wouldnt sound exactly right for a marketing guy to give out a business card that says S and M (with our last names) So, my name always comes first, because it then comes out M and S and not S and M. I address envelopes to clients or associates and what not with my name first.
One more note on S and M Pizza: I'm not sure what the owner of that place was thinking. The place kept changing names. It went from S and M to P and J pizza and then back to S and M. I know one thing, whatever business I ever open up, if Iam still working with my mom, my name will always come first. It may be okay for me to be associated with a place where people condone S and M in my personal life, but in business, especially in this conservative stick in the ass area, I wont stay in business very long running a business with the initals S and M! LOL!

Another one to add to this thread that I dont think I have. As I've mentioned, I have female letter pen pals from all over the US. Well, the pen pals trade things called friendship books, which are basically lists of people's names and addresses. One day I was looking through one of these friendship books, and advertising for new pen pals was a girl named Sarah Schmuck! LMAO! Imagine if Sarah Schmuck married Mariners pitcher J. J. Putz, and hypenated her name like some women do, her name would then be Sarah Schmuck-Putz! LMAO! Imagine calling up for a reservation with that name. "Hi, reservation for two, honeymoon suite, name on credit card is Sarah Schmuck-Putz!"Undoubetedly, unless they were REALLY filled with self control, most couldnt take that order without cracking up in hysterics. I know I'd have a hard time keeping a straight face.

Well, 'The Simpsons' has probably given us the best worst names (does that make sense?) among them Hugh Jass, Homer Sexual, Amanda Huggenkiss, Mike Rotch and Im a stupid moron with an ugly face and a big butt and my butt smells and I like to kiss my own butt. And the 'worst name Ive ever heard', Joey Joe Joe Junior Shabadoo.

Real life? Well, the england football team used to have a goalkeeper called Seaman (pronounced 'semen' in case you are an ignoranus). After the brazilians scored against him from 30 yards, a popular joke was...

Why do brazilians have large manhoods??
So they can lob seaman from 30 yards!

Boom boom! .....well it was funny at the time!

 

[Flatfoot]

I wouldn't necessarily say it's a BAD name (not because I'm biased, either!), but definitely unique. My wife's name is Dayle, pronounced "Dale", but with a 'y' in it. Anyone ever knew a woman named "Dayle", before? I actually saw it in a name book once in Barnes and Noble, and if I remember correctly, it's Irish, and they said it was "becoming more common as a girl's name". I've never seen it anyplace else, though, except when looking for it on Google.

 

[Mitchell]

In St Elmo's Fire, a 1985 movie, Andie Macdowell played a Dr character named Dale Beaverman who Emilo Estevez is obsessed with. I dont know how she spelled her name in that movie, but that is the only woman I ever knew named Dale or Dayle.

I went to college with a guy whose middle name was Garland....like on a Christmas tree. Mitchell Garland Sevelle. All sounds like an old man from Florida claiming an alias. BLECH!

My sister had a pet rat which she named MORTIMOR T BODFISH the Third. 😀

 

[Mitchell]

I just remembered another very bad name. My friend Russ has had his car serviced a couple of times by a guy named Denny Boring. LOL! Imagine that name. "Yes, I'd like a reservation, name is Mr Boring." Or, "Mr and Mrs Boring would like a room." Or, "Hi, I'm Boring" Or "Hey, Boring, come here!" LMAO! Another classic bad name!

There was a British cartoon series about naval characters on a boat. These characters were called Sea-man Staines, Master Bates and Roger the Cabin Boy! Brilliant! And it is not corrupting the minds of young people as only those who are already corrupt will get the joke!

This story might be apocryphal.

 

[kurchatovium]

An English Professor named his daughter "Cellar Door" and his son "Rat Trap" since he thought those were the most beautiful sounding words in the English language. Certainly these rank as awful sounding names. All I got say is I hate to be that professor when the kids pick an old folks home for dear old Dad. 😀 😀 😛 😛

 

[ticklisharmpits]

Another funny name

My dad's a CPA and one of his clients is a colon/proctologist. His name, I kid you not, is Dr. Butts! Good doctor, but he sometimes gets a little "behind" in his work!

I work an accounting firm, and we have a client by the name of Harold Hiney. And yes, he goes by "Harry"!

There's also another client of ours that has the last name "Smelley"

"Hello. Is this the 'Smelley' residence?"😀

 

[Mitchell]

Your names are funny, and thought provoking. This is in no way making fun of anyone or any groups, but imagine if Dr Butts and Mr Hiney both had the first name Richard or "Dick" as it may be. Imagine walking around saying "My name is Dick Butts." Or, "I'm Dick Hiney" You would definitely have a few laughs with those names! LOL!

well i am going to say the worst name ever i think is jessica

 

[mgctouch]

well i am going to say the worst name ever i think is jessica

Sorry, I can't agree there. I have seen and known a few wonderful Jessicas and I don't see how that could qualify as a worst name. Do you care to shed any light on your reasoning???
