It's maggot if you're from the southern U.S. But then you also have words like tar, ie., "My car got a flat tar." And then there's that city up further north... "Chicargo." And that state way over on the coast... "Warshington."

Here in the south we "irn" (one syllable) our clothes and I hear tell up north they iron them.

Actually it's just tranferance...since they lose the "R's" in areas like Boston, i.e. "pahk the cah", they just turn up in places you don't expect. like in East Tenn. where they "Warsh their hayr", & then "rinch it out"...

On the day our youngest child's birth announcement was in the paper, there was one for a little boy born.

First name Jack, middle name Daniels. With the S. Very deliberate.

And like mentioned above, I also know of someone actually named Justin Case. He was my grandpa's cousin. Dick Trickle is actually the name of a race car driver in the nascar series, though he's definatly more of a local guy around these parts, than national. (I point that out, cause my dad's a huge fan, but when he goes to races with his dick trickle sticker on his bumper, most people have no clue he's even a driver)

I think "Beauregard Shagnasty" and "Sherman Funk" fall under the category of names that I'd like to have.
I just wouldn't want my last name to be Lipshitz or DeQueer...

One of our teachers in High School, Mr. Titsworth, used to always joke that if he had a daughter he was going to name her Ophelia.

My uncle went to school with Mary Christmas.

I know this is an old thread but I had to throw mine in. I have a friend named Will C. Love. When he introduced himself to me for the first name I will never forget what he said. He shook my hand and said, "Will C. Love: Its not just a name.....its a promise."

A teacher friend of mine came back from a conference around Atlanta with a story about a child whose name is spelled Shithead and pronounced Sh - thede. Talk about mindless cruelty.

for LixyChick, here in Australia we a racing driver by the name of Dick Johnson.

But what about initials? My initials are KGB, you should try getting security clearances with those through the 70's and 80's, and thats just Aussie ASIO clearances for the army and to work for the navy after that.
Some of the work needed CIA approval or so I'm told but after the trouble that ASIO had for excessive security clearances using totally bogus excuses they went through in no time at all.

At my high school there was a student named Justin Justin, at one stage, five different Steven Kings, and in my year level, two different Michael Brights.

I was talking to someone just yesterday about Bruce Cockburn. Is there really a good first name when your last name is Cockburn?

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

But his name is pronounce [CO-burn] if that helps!
