Who is the most unfortunately named person you have ever known? I've got one to get the ball rolling. A guy who managed an office in Dallas for the company I used to work for was named..................
Richard Head. And everybody called him exactly what you are thinking right now.

In the 80's Longview had a good wide receiver on their varsity named Eric Fagget! That would be pretty rough to deal with.

I once arrested a girl named Fellacia.
That's too close for comfort. It's also how you can tell that a mother and father are not well versed in the English language.

A former co-worker named Mike Hunt.
WITHOUT FAIL, every time he received a phone call, he was paged by another co-worker -- who had a speech impediment.

When I was working in technical support at a place in Dallas, I once got a call from a Mrs. Buttdorf. Think if I had been her husband, I would've taken her last name when we married.

What about that boy named Sue?

My sister is a longtime high school coach. She has an extensive collection of printed rosters and newspaper articles with names like that. Shitonya ran track at Chapel Hill and also worked at the Super 1 on Troup highway. I used to go over just to read her nametag and laugh.
