There is actually a guy named Jon Snow and he is from England

He is a journalist in England. I was watching the History of House Windsor on Netflix and this guys name pops up and I had to do a double take.

There is a guy in Louisville who works for a news station, don't remember what station, with the name of Dick Wood. He was doing a children's hospital telethon show and my dad and I lost it when his name appeared.

Oh man his parents are just mean. I would hate to go through middle school with that name.

A friend of my family when I was a kid in Moore, OK was named Pat & Dick Red. Very nice folks. Just a funny set of names.

I went to school with the following:

Perry Mason

Candy Land

Kandy Kane

Mike Raper (nice guy, whose name really hurt him)

and Gay Wied, pronounced "weed" (a guy btw)

When I did a substitute teaching gig one time, I thought the students were pulling a practical joke on me, but it turns out there really was a student with the name Mike Hunt. (I always thought that was a "myth" kind of like Heywood Jablome, couldn't believe his parents hadn't thought that name through.) I was about two seconds away from sending a kid to the office, when she asked: Hey, has anyone seen Mike Hunt?

When I was growing up in Iowa in the 70s there was an all state girls high school basketball player named Fonda Dicks.

The crazy thing is that it's just as likely as not, that name was completely ironic. (Just going with the "preferences" of the two All-State Female Basketball players I knew.)

Yeah, but does he know anything?
