My wife was just looking at the ward directiry and saw there is someone in our ward with the last name Angelo.

First name .... Michael.

Michael Angelo. Must be a crack baby or something because I can't imagine sane people naming their kids like that.

Some others we have known:

Holly Ivie (maiden name, not by marriage)
Rhett Redd
Spring Bean (this one is by marriage)
Ashley Ash (marriage as well)
Elisa Snow (marriage ... what are the odds of that)

Got any other examples?

One of my friends has the last name Fisher. His longtime girlfriend was named Amy. Needless to say, the prospect of being known as Amy Fisher was not enticing. And then in an ironic move, she married someone 16 years her senior.

David R. Baxter from Rexburg, Idaho.

Of course, I won't go into why as it is for personal reasons, but let's just say that if you were me, you'd agree.

I once met a woman named Choice Beaver. She had married into that name. I kid you not.

I know a girl with the last name of Balls....talk about someone who needs to get married. First names don't even matter when your last name is Balls...when she was introduced into the ward a few laughs could be heard throughout the congregation.

Dick Sweat ran for office when i lived in california

Also My old soccer coach when i was a little kid was Richard Head, and he went by Dick to everyone else, but since we were 8 year old kids he told us to call him Rick.

Finally,

A girl at my office has the name Dawn Donns, this is by marriage.

I swear on all that is holy there was a Harold Weiner in my stake growing up. He had a son who was my age or so whose name was Jeff. But pops was known as Harry.

Also had a Chinese kid I grew up with whose name was Yu Hu. He went by Charles.

At the 4A Utah state championship wrestling meet in 2003, there was a match between Huong Long and Dick Large.

Oh man, you guys are killing me.

I saw a campaign billboard in South Carolina for a guy named "Mike Hunt". Couldn't imagine why he wouldn't want to go by "Michael".

Here's another one. I know a couple who gave their son the FIRST name of "Johnson". I am sure they are clueless about what it means in slang, but someday that poor kid is going to be pissed. Or maybe not I guess, depending on his personality.
