Have a friend who went to high school with a girl who's name was Anita Dick.


Ouch. She sure had to grow up being able to take a joke!

I had a teacher named (by marriage) Mrs. Dick. I did not address her by that a single time, for the year I was in her class. Always went with the Ma'am approach.

Served in the USAF with a dude named John Hauf. Of course we called him Jack. He did not care for that name, not even a little bit.

WTF kind of unfortunate name is Dick Pound.

Well technically it's Richard Pound. Probably had guys call him Dick as a joke to go with the last name and it stuck. For whatever reason they shortened names in the past and picked something that rhymed with it. For example Richard > Ric(k) > Dick or William > Will > Bill.

So the lesson to be learned here is just don't name your kids Dick or Anita.
BTW, did you hear they may cancel the Olympics?

A relative claims to have been in the room when 2 parents, struggling to find a name, only had to look at the nearest illuminated sign:
