I mean people who are named after infamous people, or people that just have first or last names that are sadly ripe for mockery. There is one guy that I knew at Purdue who actually has the first name Osama, and when 9/11 hit and to this day, whenever someone mentions the name or he has to broadcast it in some fashion, there's always someone hesitant. I also had an instructor named John Merrick, which I thought was hilarious, but I guess in hindsight he probably caught so much **** for that over the years it wasn't funny.
 
Aldolf Hitler Campell
Joyce Lynn Aryan Nation Campbell
Barack Hussien Obama (he heseitated when taking the oath before saying his middle name)
Sarah Palin (aperently theres a type of wine called "palin" wine)
Don Black (leader of a racist group. I think terry once pointed out how ironic it is that his name is "black")
Martin Luthor King Jr. (the original Martin Luthor was very anti-semetic.)
John kerry (Kerry.... curry....get it?)
Abner Doubleday
Plaxico Burress )what kind of a name is plaxico? i thought it was a plastic company when i first of him)
and...........I once saw a "Bruce wayne" whle skipping through my local Telephone book)

There's an American comedian named Ahmed Ahmed who's on the No Fly List because there's a terrorist named Ahmed Mohammed Hamed Ali who goes by the alias of Ahmed Ahmed.

I knew a guy named Omar Amar who owned a cat named Amar. I could've sworn an Abbott and Costello routine walked into the vet clinic that day.
 
My cousins middle name is Adolph. :o His grandfathers name was Adolph, its not like we're Nazis here....
 
I think the fact that George Foreman named all 5 or 6 of his sons "George" is very unfortunate.

And stupid. :down
 
I was thinking more like...epic.

I just meant that... he's took a lot of the little work out of parenting multiple kids. He'll never be wrong when he says who's birthday he thinks it is... he'll never accidentally call one the wrong name... he can say which is his favorite and none of them will know which he means...

The man is epic. Just as you say.
 
I think a lot of Irish names are unfortunate and ridicious.

Ólchobhar
Róisín
Saoirse
Muircheartach
Laoidheach
Úna
Lasairfhiona
Toirdhealbhach
Tadhg
 
And I'm sure a bunch of those same Irish people would think your first name is just as ridiculous.
 
Grwn and Dafydd.

Freaking Welsh people and their excessive usage of W's, Y's, and F's.

Richard "Dick" Phayse (Pronounced Face)
There's someone who'd quickly change their name to Rick and tell everyone it's pronounced "phase."
 
What about Chad Johnsons kids? Hasn't him named them like Chadella and Chadfry or something insanely stupid like that?
 
I'm currently forgetting the kid's first names but I know that both of the daughters of the former Jim Helliwg ( The Ultimate Warrior ) now bear the surname of "Warrior" when Hellwig legally changed his name.

There was a solider in the army or NG who legally changed his name to Optimus Prime. Sometimes fandom can cross the line into insanity.

There was a gay rights activist who actually went by the name of Luke Sissy***. (<---I just want to clarify that was his choice, not me calling him that) I'm not sure if that was his legal name of not but he actually went by that name in public.

I knew a real life Forrest Gump who began to dislike his name after a certain movie was released.

However, the WORST name I've ever heard is still that of Richard Trickle aka "Dick" Trickle. What were his parents thinking??!!

The racer? :funny:

My dad told me about that name when I was a kid, and I can't help but :hehe: every time I hear it
 
My grandparents were friends with a man named Dick Pal...I kid you not.
 
I went to school with a guy called Hussein Hussien. The most funny names have to be Jermaine Jacksons kids Jamajesty and Jafar
 
I heard about this political guy who's named after a Mortal Kombat character... :dry:
