I went to school with a girl named Crystal Ship and another girl named Crystal Dragon.

A former coworker of mine was nearly given the name Holly, until her parents realized that would make her Holly Wood.

My dad knows a man named Bunny.

That's about all I can think of right now.

I have this wonderful vegetarian cookbook, and the author is "Crescent Dragonwagon."

That's the point. I think it makes you want to give up MEAT.

I remember one time watching Jay Leno, and he was looking through the phonebook for the funniest name, and he came up with Phat Ho

I remember David Letterman phoning a man named Dick Assman all the time.

Maybe it's common in other cultures? I don't know, that's new in my book!

I remember that! I wonder if he was a real person.... I can't remember if he ever answered. I think those were the days when I was in the background while my mom watched.

I thought I was the only one who remembered it. I think Letterman did talk to him a few times. And maybe he even appeared on the show?

Nope...your not alone. My mom watched Letterman religiously so I remember all of the older antics. I loved when he worked at Taco Bell.

Not sure. Many people have been working here for 10 years or more & international students are nothing new to this place. They've never seen a punctuation mark for a name before this year.

I think if I had to pick, I'd be ! or & . and , seem kind of dull.

I went to school with a girl who claimed her mother's friend was named Crystal Chandelier. But, I never met the woman, so I don't know how true it is. Still . . .

I discovered another interesting one while doing payrolls yesterday...Precious Love. Primping for a career as a stripper much? And there is a kid who's last name is Glasscock. I feel sorry for him! Can you imagine the torture in school?!
