People With Weird Names

Real people from my past....

- Poor fat chick who never got called Elaine, just "Booger Girl"
- Mashawanda Crudup
- Sohrab Habibion ("So Rob, How Ya Bibion?")
- Mike Rakouskas (a new teacher doing roll call was always amusing with that one)
- Misty Ide (parents a bit too clever there)
- Star (actual boy's given name, parents had high expectations)
- Scooby (actual boy's given name, parents had low expectations)
- Punk girl whose given name was Rainbow but you'd never know it; she insisted on being called Mary or something like that.
- Two brothers with a father from Africa, both of whose names went along the lines of "Dr. K. Aal-Anubia." You called them "Doc" for short. One of them looked (and dressed) like "Beat It" era Michael Jackson. Their *full* names were something like "Dr. Kalsalamakaratamaka Aal-Anubia" except longer and more difficult to pronounce.
 
I went to junior high with a girl named Sidona Cox. I aint crappin you negative. poor girl, what were her parents thinking?
 
ok, it's not a euphemism like most of the names mentioned, but it's pretty wierd (i used to issue passports so there were always plenty of wierd names):

European Peace Victory Stephens

Like I said.
 
I can't think of many people with odd given names, but I can run down a list of some nicknames from work:

Jimmy Thumbs (has big-ass thumbs)

Jimmy Shaft (had a vasectomy)

Jew (has a jewish sounding last name, but isn't jewish)

Tommy Feta Cheese (he's greek)

Bald Anthony (he's bald)
Tony Broken Leg (broke his leg a few years ago)
Talkthony (doesn't shut up)

Montreal/Toronto/Couver (he's from Canada, you use whatever city you're in the mood for)

Hot Dog and Hamburger (two brothers, one's FAT and one's skinny)

Quiet Steve or McVeigh (rarely talks, looks like Tim McVeigh)

Head (huge head)

Fat Steve
Not So Fat Steve (two partners named Steve, one's fat as a house, the other one is 'husky')

Boston (guy who has been in the garage for over a year, no one on my side knows his name yet but he always wears a Boston Red Sox hat. We just started calling him Boston instead of learning his actual name)

Leno (has a HUGE chin)

Marley (from Jamaica)

Doofburger (this real doofy guy who limps)

and my personal favorite:

EDWARD SHITTERHANDS!!! (this guy was in the bathroom letting the globetrotters off the bus, and when he came out of the stall someone noticed that he didn't wash his hands. He's been called Edward Shitterhands ever since, usually shortened to Shithands. I don't even know his first name.)

In 8.5 years I've been called:

Stringbean
Chernobyl (I farted so bad one morning that it cleared half a room)
Scissorhands (cut a live cable by accident, wiping out service to a neighborhood... that name gets passed aorund to whoever fucked up last, currently held by Quiet Steve)
Nurse Sweeney (my first partner was a 65 year old)
Sag Fag (I was an extra in a Woody Allen movie and got into the Screen Actors Guild)

My friends have all been calling me Sweendog since high school, but it's been shortened to Sween over time. Not so fun to have "-dog" at the end of your name when you hit 30.

Meet Hamburger...pictured here after our softball game last night eating a donut off of his beer bottle.
