Pound Dick!

8. parents should never name a child carelessly - you may create a monster

no drips yet ...

It is supposed to rain all night :shrug: the ceiling won't cave in.

[flvegan]

4. It screams pornstar.

[Orsino]

5. On the IOC, too.

I think that there should be an event named for him.

7. Reminds me of a guy I used to work with .....

Dick Hohl.


Seriously. His parents must have hated kids.

not kidding.

[Straight Shooter]

9. One of the greatest and best-loved philanthropists from Houston, TX

was Ima Hogg. I kid you not. That's what her parents named her. I once did a study on unusual names. Children either sink under the weight of them, or thrive on the challenge.

11. Used to work in a print shop, saw all kinds of crap people did to their

kids:
Robin Sparrow
Ginger Snapp
Scott Tissue
Harry Dick
Al Laska
Sandy Claus
And the set of kids' stationery I did for four kids in a family, kids named Randy, Sandy, Candy and Brandy. I mean...c'mon. That's just cruel.

It'd be like the imbecile and pickles naming their kids rose and beataround or something.

[KitchenWitch]

16. I remember a family, last name Spande

named their kids Randy, Sandy and Candy.

[grannylib]

17. OMG *lol* at least they didn't spell them all Cande, etc. too, yikes!

Sad. What may seem "cute" when one is a baby is often not so much as one grows older.

[WilliamPitt]

12. There's a NASCAR driver

named Dick Trickle.

Dick Pound is no Dick Trickle.

[Dangerously Amused]

15. I knew someone through work named Clara Bell.

[Arugula Latte]

18. Self delete. it pays to read the entire thread first!

I just mentioned Dick Trickle ...

[eyepaddle]

19. Yeah, he is a driver.

I'm not into motorsports, but a friend's dad used to do pit crew and he knew the infamous "Dick Trickle."

[eyepaddle]

20. I heard on a radio morning show a stroy about a fellow

named Dick Sucha (Soo-kah).

The morning guy made sure we knew that probably wasn't how his friends pronounced it high school!
