Terry Berry (Really?)
Daniel Daniels (REALLY?!?!)


and last but not least.....


Harold Butts. That kid is going to be called "Harry Butts." I don't imagine he'll make it out of 3rd grade alive.
I knew a woman named Brandy Wine in Las Vegas and a guy named Long Dong (tough name for most Asians to live up to), and a guy named Phuc Vu (Pronounced "Fuck You" in Vietnamese).


I have a serious question I'd like to ask. I've known a lot of people named Richard. To me the natural shortening of this name is Rick or Rich. Why would anyone with the name Richard choose to be called "Dick"?
