ROFLOL! I love this thread!

My own real name is one of these kind--it's not as bad as Ima Hogg, but close, and it's a comic book character. I can never tell it to anyone without getting a reaction. I don't know WHY my parents did that to me. They plead ignorance--they just thought it was a lovely name. I told them I will carve my name on their headstones after they die--so they can always remember how lovely it has been for me...LOL!

Consequently, I have an obsession about collecting these kinds of names. I personally knew a Candy Treat (her name was Candice--"Hey guys, want a piece of Candy?"--she's heard all her life.) Also, I knew a very unclean girl named Constance Gross. An extremely obese guy named Don Madewell. A friend named Frank Allen Geist (his initials were the problem) another friend named Tesa Season, and another named Reefer Roller (Reefer being his mother's maiden name) and Kenny Rohrbach.

My favorites to collect are the names that also have significance with the occupation of the individual. My first such name was my grandfather who was a 'Miner'--both name and occupation. Attorney's names are hilarious to me especially, and these are all real attorneys: Marvin Shaft, a Charles Fuqua (also a politician), Willy Crook, William Justiss, George Filcher, Charlotte Murphy (her office is called Murphy's Law), J. E. Hagler, Christine Horwart (!), H. Slinkard...soooo many. My family doctor's name was Dr. Butt. His brother was a Judge ("All rise for Judge Butt"). I went to a dentist named Thomas Hardy Pull. A good friend who also loves music is named Rick Tooney.

I like the ficticious names as well, Patty Cakes, the Judge (Your Honor) Offer, Handel Cox, Willa Cumnow, Rip Thunder......

I also love names like these in fiction. One of my all time favorites is Walt Kelly's Sarcophagus MacAbre. And, nearly all the characters' names in the Harry Potter series are double entendres--they are all great.
