Thread Name: BS: Amazing Names
Subject: RE: BS: Amazing Names
A farmer (Hezekiah Rhodes) had a daughter in Delano CA, named, or at least nicknamed, Dusty. I knew a young woman in college named Sandy Beech. Two great last names from my time in the Air Force were Ditterlizzi and Clapsaddle. An other HS girl I knew was Jackie Pullen and her uncle was a dentist in Tulare CA who was in partners with a Dr. Yangk. In Bakersfield there was a Dr. who's last name was Doctor and that is how he was paged in the hospital where he worked: "Doctor Doctor!" (my wife was an RN). My Dad knew a WWII pilot named Bud Dagget. Not unusual but I always liked the sound of that name.
Then anyone who has had a passing interest in American football will recognize the last name, Balldinger. Man you have GOT to be tough with a name like that!
