Far Out Names

[da man]

At one stop we covered twin brothers who were named Joe and Joseph. Seriously, what the?

George Foreman approves.

If I ever have boy-girl fraternal twins, I've considered naming them Elvis and Presley. Does that combination exist in the wild?

The Jell-O twins have been in every high school in America, it seems. I think it's been told so much that some people honestly believe they met them. One of them is my sister-in-law, who is a retired teacher at a tiny high school in the middle of nowhere North Carolina. More than once she's said, "We had these brothers..." I just let her say it and think to myself, "No, you didn't." It's not worth it.

Just like everyone knows someone whose mom was a teacher who says she had a student named Female (pronounced Fee-mall-ee) because she didn't have a name when she left the hospital so FEMALE was put on her birth certificate.

Long time ago there was a football coach in our area named Donny Dick.
It was a common last name in that small town. I'm sure they were fine folks, but they're still a bunch of Dicks.

You'd have more fun naming them Elvis and Pelvis.

Only until middle school, though.

Also, I once knew Candy Cain and Sandy Beach.
It was in college. Even better, they were roommates!

Snopes has a few posts about names that are urban legends.

I was playing blackjack and one of the dealers name was 'MD. '

From Loni Anderson's wiki page:

As she states in her autobiography My Life in High Heels, her father was going to name her Leilani, but realized that when she got to her teen years, it was likely to be twisted (into "Lay" Lani) so it was changed to simply Loni.

The University of Kansas had a softball player named Destiny Frankenstein. Her parents must have been Mel Brooks fans.

Several years back, a high school girls' tennis team in our area had standout twin players with the last name of Dick. The coach said he normally would call out encouragement to his players by using their last names. He didn't for them.
