In the AF on Okinawa long ago in my unit was a Captain Nosmo King and a Sergeant Na Na- I forget his last name but he had entered the AF having no first name at all. On his enlistment form he was First Name: N/A . Middle Name: N/A . -for Not Applicable. It stuck and he thought it was cool.

I was married to a man who had a long last name that ended with -baum. We thought about changing it to just Baum, cutting off the first half. But we had a son, named Adam. We chose not to change our name. He would have been Adam Baum!

We have a dentist here in town who’s named Ken Hurt.

There’s a teacher in one of the middle schools around here...actually, he’s a vice principal.

His name is Harry Weiner.

Whenever they read the guys name in a class assembly or over the intercom, the little boys all snicker...

While my ma was pregnant with me, there were a couple of ob/gyn docs at the base hospital (Chennault AFB, Lake Charles, LA - long since closed).

They were Dr Gore and Dr Rape.

Met a feller named Facchinei once - pronounce it as an Italian would.

"Seriously what future could a child have with that name?"

Well, it depends; can he play basketball?

If so, he could do very well for himself.

If everybody who claimed to know “Orangello” and “Lemonjello” really did, those names would be more common than “Jennifer” and “Jason”!
