Re: Stupid Names
I had a textbook about Microsoft's Visual C++ once written by Buck Forland.
Borland was the company who was the nearest competitor in C++ programming at the time. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] |

Re: Stupid Names
Moonbeam eh? I knew a Sunshine once. Perhaps girls with names like that would double up on a guy like me.

Re: Stupid Names
A couple of local radio guys here in Memphis, Drake and Zeke, had a daily feature called the "Bad Baby Name of the Day", where they would read one baby name per day. They were all true, taken from newspaper birth announcements.
D&Z left the market last year, so I haven't heard their show in a while, and I can't think of one single baby name they did. Maybe some Memphis OOT'ers can help me out here. (They used to log them on the Rock103's website, but the D&Z links there are gone). Names like Shining Star Johnson and Youdaman Jones. |

Re: Stupid Names
When I was younger I always wanted to name my son Crash Danger Estes. Crash after bull Durham and Danger just say he could say "Danger is my middle name." Pretty lame but still funny to me.

Guy I worked with whose name was Dick Seeman (no lie). Laughter would ensue when he was paged over the speaker system. Why he didn't go by Richard or Rich I'll never know, maybe Dick was not a nickname. [/ QUOTE ] 'Rich Seeman' is no prize either... |
