Thread: Funny Names

  1. #1

    Smile Funny Names

    TGIF! Since it's been a long week I thought I would share something funny. Over the years I've been compiling a list of strange/funny names I have engraved. Here's the list:

    Twirp Gottman
    Dr. Hal Deatherage (would really want a Dr to have the word death in his name?)
    Brent Boozer
    Doug Counts
    David Boner
    Chris Baldassi
    Bruce Heine
    Bill Slutz
    Will Hurt
    Mason Takeshita

    and the funniest by far: Bland Dickey

    Any funny or strange things you have come across or engraved?

    There have been a few that I have chuckled at when engraving but can't remember them off hand, although recently I did something for a Lynn Cheney, and another one for Martha Stewart, I doubt either one went to the famous people with those names but you never know.

    Haha, that's a good one! It makes me wonder what was going through their parents heads when they named their children odd names.

    I did a dog tag a few weeks ago for a guy in the Army he was a Corporal and the dog's name was Sarg.
    So I asked him "Does that make the dog your superior?"
    And quick as lightning he replied "Might as well be, he's like my own Sargent he expects me to pick up all his crap"

    Tom Jones and Glenn Miller go to my church. I went to Jr High with Snow White. San Diego Chargers had big running back named Marion Butts, and absolutely no one laughed at him.

    There is a family in this area that own's several funeral homes, and their name is on a sign in front of every one. And that name is Amigone. And yes, it is pronounced exactly as you think it is. I'm not from this area originally, and I thought (still do) that was really funny the first time I saw it.
    It’s only work if somebody makes you do it.
    A day can really slip by when you're deliberately avoiding what you're supposed to do.
    Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side and it binds the universe together.
