Penny Nickels. I swear, that is what her name plate read in traffic court. I'm sitting there thinking of coin collecting rather than the serious fine I was facing if convicted.
Have you met anyone in your life with a name that makes you think of your hobby?

I hope she doesn't meet and marry Dime Quarters!

The only person I've met that reminds me of this hobby is: Broke N Hungry

Nope, but in Biology I remember the DNA-RNA Bast pairing because DNA-DNA has AT (artificial toning) And DNA-RNA has AU

coirn · April 20, 2011 11:48AM

If they did and had a boy I'd hope they would name him, "Jefferson".

Why would a parent do that to a kid........

coirn · April 20, 2011 11:50AM

<< Why would a parent do that to a kid........ >>

I'm sure she was married. No idea what her maiden name was.

Well, the father did it to the mommy... so why not do it to the kid too?

okracer · April 20, 2011 11:52AM

No,

But here are a few interesting names I have met:

2 twins....one named Treasure Precious Good, and the other named Precious Treasure Good.

2 docs, Dr. Wisdom, neurologist. and Dr. Hope.

a couple, Bud and Louise Wiser.............. (Bud Wiser)

Bochiman · April 20, 2011 11:54AM

We have a guy in a group I worked in a few years ago named "William Dollar"...he went by "Bill".

SeattleSlammer · April 20, 2011 11:55AM

And here I thought that Dick Trickle was one of the most unfortunate names...................Penny Nickels has got to be in the top 10-20.

My wife knew someone named Penny Dollar! No lie!

When was doing some contract work in Kansas about 12 years ago I met a 70 something year old lady named Ima Pigg.

Wonder if this was the same Penny Nickels I met in El Cajon in 1991. El Cajon is in San Diego County just south of Orange County for those of you that don't know Southern California. I posted concerning the one I met years ago on this board.

I once worked with someone named Holly Bush. I think her sisters were Rose and Pyracantha

I knew a Candy Hamm in college. She was the life of every party!

I have heard that name before. If I am not mistaken she had a sister named Ura Pigg. My mother used to tell this story when I was a kid 50 years ago.

BAJJERFAN · April 20, 2011 1:54PM

There was [maybe still is] a receptionist at a local dental office named Cindy Kane. Always wanted to ask her if she was glad he first name wasn't Candy.

nederveit · April 20, 2011 1:59PM

In our old (small) Accounting department, one manager was named Steve Spiss (but when you say it, it sounds like Steve's Piss).

And, our A/P guy was named Richard Kokx (Dick Kokx).

Kind of funny since there were only about 5 people on the whole Accounting team.

ThePennyLady · April 20, 2011 2:15PM

I had a client whose last name was Moneypenny - for real.

My brother-in-law's last name is Money and he is a doctor - Dr. Money!

ANACONDA · April 20, 2011 2:18PM

Wow, if that isn`t a softball up the middle.

Uncle Moneypenny, isn't that the Monopoly Guys name?

Edited to add:

I just Googled him, his name is Rich Uncle Pennybags. I had a senior moment.

I knew a Harry Pitts, a chiropractor from Dallas named Dr. Bonebrake and a girl named Holly Hill.

TexasNationals · April 20, 2011 2:30PM

I hope she doesn't meet and marry Dime Quarters!

And there is a 32 y.o. male in NY with that exact name, how old did she look? Ring on her finger? Hooking them up would be cooler than the dog tag track down or the mission to find the yap stone money in the NJ backyard!

RickMilauskas · April 20, 2011 2:42PM

I knew a woman whose name was Kim Ode.

ProofArtworkonCircs · April 20, 2011 2:53PM

Years ago, one of my favorite bank tellers was Muffin Baker. At work, we had a Rose Plante. Both of these were married names. There used to be bill boards in New Hampshire advertising Cornelius Dollarhide, tax accountant.

I Googled this one too. The story my mother told me was of Texas Govenor (around 1892) Jim Hogg's daughter Ima Hogg. They used to travel with a friend of his daughter and he would introduce them as his daughters, Ima and Ura. Google went on to say Ima disputed this story in later years.

SmallTownCoins · April 20, 2011 11:22PM

My name is David Hall.....

I have met our host here only once,
I was set up at the MSNS State show about 1980 and the
intercom was paging David Hall at the Pool Phone...
We both went to answer the call... It was not for me... Haaaaa

JamesMurray · April 20, 2011 11:36PM

I knew a guy called Hung Yung , an asian guy in the tech dept.My spelling is doubtless wrong but thats how it was pronounced.Whenever we heard his name we'd always say , yes..he should have been.It upset him no end.On the other hand Harold
(Harry) Wang didnt mind at all the odd joke.

PTVETTER · April 20, 2011 11:43PM

I know of two brothers last name was Ball...

jfoot13 · April 20, 2011 11:51PM

Wait till somebody checks him out and does a search on his name

There was a Richard Head that went to my high school.

coirn · April 21, 2011 1:57AM

A local DJ goes by the name of "Rusty Nails". Swears that is his real name.

SanctionII · April 21, 2011 2:39AM

When I was in law school I worked as a law clerk for the local County Counsel's Office. I was asked by one of the staff attorneys to go across the street to the courthouse to pick up a transcript of a hearing from the court reporter who worked the hearing. The attorney told me the name of the court reporter to speak with.

So I went to meet the court reporter. He gave me his business card. It had his name on it. I coul dnot believe the guy's name. Worse than what was describedin the Johnny Cash song "A Boy Named Sue".

The longer, more formal name of the court reporter was "Harold Richard". Of course he did not go by Harold Richards. He went by the shorter version of "Harold" and the shorter version of "Richard" and had a harsh, challenging look on his face that dared anyone to make any comment about his name.

Unbelievable. I would have been so mad at my parents if they had given me that name and I would have immediately petitioned for a name change as soon as I turned 18.

OldEastside · April 21, 2011 3:04AM

A friend of mine's last name is Plaster and through elementery school there was a girl who's last name
was Paris, any how the teachers always through them together for projects and stuff, and he tells me they
were always known as Plaster & Paris even into high school.

There was also this gal where I worked a few years back named Crystal Mathews, she was always real
chatty and always doing 10 things at once, always made me wonder

Kind of like people who say roast beef and it sounds like roe speef.

I used to belong to the Upstate New York chapter of the National Cartoonists Society.

One of the elder statesmen of the group was an accomplished gag cartoonist and educator. Whenever there was occasion for him to stand up and introduce himself to a group, he would begin with, "Hello, my name is Ford Button --- and nobody believes it."

Always got a laugh.

A consummate gentleman and a great teacher who inspired many illustrators and cartoonists before he died too young, at 69.

An article 10 years ago in the Des Moines Register about Ruan Trucking discussed the different aspects of maintenence requirements. The Maintenance Dept Supervisor's name?

Harry Beaver

I sent the article to the Leno show to see if they would feature it on Monday Night Headlines, but I don't know if they ever did.

Wasn't that the name of one of the office girls at James Bond's HQ?

When I was a kid in western Carolina our dentist was Dr Break and the family doctor was Dr Clapp.

At a company I worked at in the early 80's there was a Dick Wooly. Of course in the company phone listings, last name came first.

And once in the Marines when I was selected to audit the enlisted club with some other unfortunate souls. We had to sign a sign in sheet and leave our military ID on the table. I didn't believe the name above mine so I looked at the ID. Lucky 7, not the word seven. He must have hit a jackpot and made this decision after celebrating.

I Met a Court Reporter in Orange County with the name of. . .
