Back in 02 there was a thread similar to this topic - 'The Funny Business of Names'

Iwas going to add to it, but inexplicably, it's closed.

Irregardless [which is one've me fave non-words!] I'm iniating this one as I see from latest news that the Japanese government have recently elected a new prime minister.

His name is, wait for it, Aso - I wonder if it's pronounced Ah so!

If so, then almost stereotypically Japanese!

More?

Inexplicably? No, the fact that the thread is closed is explicable. All BS threads are automatically closed once a certain amount of time has passed and no one has posted to them. It's that policy that's inexplicable.

I recall when someone (my mind blanks on his name) who was running for governor of Massachusetts against an opponent named Endicott Peabody was asked about his opponent. He replied:"My opponent has a major advantage. He has four cities in Massachusetts named after him." The interviewer looked blank, and the candidate explained: "Endicott. Peabody. Marblehead and Athol!"
