I remind folks that Nick Cage named his son 'Kal-El'.

Met a guy named Torgar Torgarsson once. He was from Texas.I never realized the Ulfen made it as far south as Texas.
Warning: The following anecdote is rated PG-13, for suggestive hyphenated naming.
One of my best friends went to high school with a girl who had the most unfortunate hyphenated last name I've ever heard. Her name was Mary Gibbs-Head. I didn't believe him until he pulled out one of his old yearbooks and showed me. Poor girl.
I can top that. Also possibly PG-13.
Hyphenated last name. Stephanie Cox-Ucker. Not joking.
How many people in your family thought it might be clever to name their child "Jack"?What an incredibly bizarre question.
** spoiler omitted **
AH!!!! *runs around on fire and lights the thread*
I went to college with a dude with the unfortunate last name of Bohmfalk.
I was going to say that the profundities of this thread know no end...but, umm...

Egads. The idea that there are two such surnames is existence is...staggering.

I had a childhood friend whose last name was Finkboner. I say was because she legally changed it to her mom's maiden name when she turned 18.
The name Cox is not uncommon around here, so I so believe it. Never thought of it but I did go to school with a Richard cox

I swear I've heard of that guy, and I'm up in Oklahoma. Dallas/Fort Worth area?

I myself am 1/4 Cox descent. Yup, descended from Cox. I mean Coxes.
My mother, who has been going by her maiden name sf Cox since way back, was a substitute teacher for a while. Cox is not a common name up in western Canada and it raised a lot of eyebrows when she told her students.
The worst was when she subbed on of my classes when I was 13.
we just never made anything out of it, it's not super common here, but far from unknown we even have a cox hallow not far up the road
I had a teacher called Headley Shirley...
My surname is Honey. I got put on report at school for saying "Yes, darling" to a teacher screaming "HONEY!!" at me when I was being bad.
*edit* And I forgot Andrew Cocking, Dave Trebilcock and a mate of mine who named his son Stealth...after the bomber.
I remind folks that Nick Cage named his son 'Kal-El'.
Yes, but he's a celebrity. I expect stupid names from them as a matter of course. At least he can shorten it to "Kal" and not worry about it.
Penn Gillette named his daughter 'Moxie Crimefighter.'

I dated a girl named Holly Grow when I was younger. I loved the name but she really hated it.
My last name is Nipple with an S instead of the N so I was Mr. Whipple, Nippler, Simple, The Nipple etc. Eventually I reached the age where we were studying 'dangling participles' in english and the teacher asked me if I knew what one was. I replied "I could show you but I don't need to spend more time in detention" as I adjusted my package a bit. Much laughter ensued and I then had a more fun nickname. And still more detention....damn non-joke-taking teacher....
I used to listen to the 1up podcast, and they were discussing names in MMOs and how long they got away with certain names. The ones I remember are:
Mike Oxbig
York Oxbig
Still makes me giggle. :P

So far, my favorite?
"This woman was indicted under the Flagrant Over-Use of the Letters K and Y Act of 1983."
OMG, Vat. ROFL.
My favorite: Miss Rammit Deep.

I hear you there...I reached my full adult height of 6 foot at the age of 12. Doesn't sound too bad, until you realise that I am female...
And yeah, I took my share of lessons in the 'don't be different' department. I was the proverbial runt of the litter and was 4'6 until I was 16.
Your not the only early bloomer sanwah. I reached my full adult height of 6'3 at age of 12. It scared the crap outta my parents and when I walked into my 5th garde class room the first day of school.
You would think I would be uber jock but nope when you grow too fast you cant do stuff like run or over exert yourself cause in my case when you did I got really dizzy,couldnt stand up, and then my eyesight went away for a few minutes. I had to wait till my body balanced out before I could be athlectic but I looked really imposing in elementary school.

I had the opposite problem. 4'10 when I was 16, 5'8 when I turned 17. My parents loathed me, but I simplified by saying "Don't care if it fits properly, just make it black."
