Name jokes

No joke: One of the parents at a school I was teaching at in Sydney had changed the family surname to "Universe" so her daughters would be called "Miss Universe" - the mind boggles. People sometimes said to me, "How can you put up with teenagers all day?" but it's their parents that really take the cake... :eek:

Once, at the start of a year, I had to really work on keeping a poker face when reading through the class roll to take attendance, and realising the next name on the list was "Bambi"... thankfully this 13-year-old girl was a cheerful character, and after several weeks I knew I could ask, while they were engaged in groupwork and it wasn't going to be the focus of the whole class, "I was wondering if there is a story behind your name?"

To which the girl airily replied, "Yes. My mother and father are stupid." :p

Someone else, at an exclusive private school, had called their son "President" for a first name. :rolleyes: Poor kid.

Apparently Christmas is a common surname in S.E England, I think its the English version of Santos or Cruz in Latinate speaking countries,England has some very interesting surnames like Pig(g) ,I wish I had gone and listened to my mothers court appearances some stories were really embarrassing like a young couple getting divorced the wife's testimony"he wouldn't share his pop(soda) with me" my mother could be sarcastic, I can only imagine the myriad jokes overloading her brain when she heard that!
 
A popular liquor with us Ron's when we visit Cuba. Not a popular name in Dutch either, not sure why my mother and her sister both named both my self and my cousin this. Wife gave a second bottle to her dad as a joke.
By tradition I should have been named after my maternal grand father. He was not amused with my name. Took us a while to find a bottle, sold out quickly. Shop owner had big smile.

I just thought of a really clever drag name that I’m surprised hasn’t been used yet considering it’s a pun and drag performers love using names like that. It is Calcutta Ho (or Bitz) and the name is a play on either “I’ll cut a ho/b****” or “Cal cut a ho/b****”
