I worked for Social Services and we had the brothers Broccoli and Zucchini, Winter Spring Summer and Fall , female and many others. Gave us a chuckle but never would you ridicule or post both a first and last name on social media.

I'm just happy that my brother, not me, got stuck with Bartholomew.

I know some people that named their baby JKMN Pronounced NOEL.

I'm a Libertarian but I actually think this is abuse and should be illegal. Some people are straight up DUMB. But don't saddle your kid with it.

Have you heard of the urologist named is I.P. Little, the proctologist named Roid Hemmer, and the law firm named Dewey Cheatem and Howe?

I was at a Dr's office years ago and the receptionist struggled with calling the next patient....but she finally pronounced it just as it looks, Lemonjello! The boys mother corrected her and said it's pronounced LaMonn-Zhah-Lo. Poor kid!

When I worked in Ohio, we had a urologist in town by the name of Richard Tapper.....you figure it out.

The next one would be FGHIJ pronounced Fighi rhymes with Nucky. The j is silent.

If you google it there are nearly 400 people in the USA named Abcde. REALLY?

When my son had surgery the anesthesiologist's name was Dr. Moneymaker, no joke.

For my two cents worth

Did you hire him? I would assume that anyone using that name on a job application was just wasting my time or his.

When we lived in Texas, we took our pets to a vet office, the two vets were named Dr. Lively and Dr. Die. I always wondered if Dr. Die got any of the business. And there used to be a surgeon named Dr. Karve in Ocala.
