I knew a guy in grad school who was working on his PhD just so people would stop calling him “Master Bates”.
You just made a mess of my computer desk.
Of course, I was one of those who called him that; it suited his personality. ![]()
I know of a lassie at home called Annie Moore!
I went to high school with a girl named Wendy. She absolutely hated it when the fast-food chain of the same name started their “Hot & Juicy” ad campaign.
Calgary had a schoolboard trustee named “Dick Hehr” - lawn signs everywhere during elections. His son “Kent” went to my school.
There’s a realtor in Raleigh, NC, named Michael Hunt. For some reason, his website never shortens his first name to Mike…

There was a physician here named Dr. Deadman.
Lional Tiger and Robin Fox studied animal behavior.
Lord Brain and Henry (?) Head were neurologists.
My dad’s - and hence my - last name is…
…DeButts. Fortunatly, my mom didn’t change her name when she married my dad, so I’ve got Criscuolo to fall back on. I’m technically a Criscuolo-DeButts, but I usually just use Criscuolo.

Got a local mortitian with the last name of Wurm.
“What happened to ol’ So-and-so?”
“Wurm’s got him.”
My brother went to school with a girl named Crystal Pallis. Built like one, too.

There was a dentist in a nearby town who was Dr. Kruel (he retired). My doctor when I was a kid was Dr. Skaar (at least he wasn’t a plastic surgeon). There’s also an infectious disease physician I know who’s name is Dr. Bugge.
I went to high school with Harold and his sister Sissy. Their last name was Balls. Harry is now happily married to Maya Bigge. She kept her own last name, and refuses to hyphenate. (=
Harry’s best friend’s name was Moby Richard (aka Dick) Long. people never tired of asking him ‘where’s captain ahab??’ of course, the girls got many hours of snickering and wondering about the ‘Long’ bit.
also, there are two veterinarians in Minnesota that i used to take my dog to-
Dr. Hotvet and Dr Toogood. really. they’re still practicing, and in the yellow pages.

The kid that sat in front of me all through high school was Thomas Peter Cox. He was obnoxious and I wacked him across the head a couple of times.
The Dr. that did one of my friends DNC was Dr. Mold.
