Title: Fake Names Post by: Derf on October 28, 2008, 07:37:51 AM We've had random thoughts, gross jokes, avatar explanations, etc., but I don't recall a topic about your favorite made-up names. Trevor's post in the screen name thread made me think about it, so props to Trevor.
He said he wanted to use Heywood Jablome. Other classics include Mike Hunt (though I did know a guy with this name), I.P. Freely, Ella Vader, and so on. A guy I work with likes to make these up and book appointments for them to see if anyone notices. His favorite seems to be Phil McKracken. What are your favorites?

Title: Re: Fake Names Post by: ER on October 28, 2008, 07:49:15 AM My next-door neighbor growing up was from a town called Hurricane, West Virginia, and he was a smart, dignified, down to earth sort of man but verra, verra country. He had a first cousin who'd visit from time to time who was quite honestly named Hugh G. Juggs. He always said the middle initial with the first and last name, and it always sounded funny.

Title: Re: Fake Names Post by: frank on October 28, 2008, 09:47:42 AM I will slightly change the names to the English language...
My sister used to live in an apartment and her landlady's name was actually "F**kert". Eventually she (the landlady) would get married, and instead of getting rid of this somewhat, hmm unfortunate name, she settled for a compound name. Much to our delight she married a Herr Faust ("Mr. Fist"), so her name ended up to be "Mrs. Fist-F**kert". My sister always had hysteric laughing fits when she got a letter from her...

Not a nice thing to do to your kids. Well, if we're doing real people names, there was a famous millionaire called Armand Hammer. I think he was the inspiration for the millionaire character in Gorky Park, who was also an American who did a lot of business with the USSR. Seems to me there was a real person named Donald Duck you used to hear about too. Title: Re: Fake Names Post by: AndyC on October 28, 2008, 06:26:39 PM Ivor Biggun

"Mike Rotch! Mike Rotch! Hey, has anybody seen Mike Rotch lately?" "Can I speak to Ms. Huggenkiss? First name, Amanda." "Uh, Amanda Huggenkiss? Hey, I'm looking for Amanda Huggenkiss! Ah, why can't I find Amanda Huggenkiss?" "I'm looking for Maya. Last name, Normousbutt." "Hang on, I'll check. Uh, has anyone seen Maya Normousbutt?" |
