Posted by BJ as Real Names
Update: Good news! As you can tell, we’re back up and running. But don’t worry Diggers, I know Digg isn’t a DDOS!
Here’s the thing, you have to get a license to drive a car but they let anyone be a parent. And, more pertinent to this conversation, they let anyone, may I repeat, ANYONE name their kid. So, while that might have some VERY unfortunate consequences for a few unlucky kids, it provides serious entertainment for those of us with parents who actually put some thought into naming us. With that in mind, here are 10 of the worst names ever. Seriously, these parents should be locked up… (and what the hell is wrong with Missouri?)
- John Koffman (Murfreesboro, TN) - His friends call him Jack…
- Sharonda Cox (Saint Louis, MO) - It might be pronounced ShaRONda but it sure looks like “sharin’ da” to me…
- Justin Butts (Springfield, MO) - I’ll take gay jokes and monthly therapy bills for a lifetime please, Alex.
- Harry Ball (Castle Rock, CO) - Insert pretty much any joke here. Seriously, Harry’s lucky he made it out of middle school.
- Amanda Buttram (Conway, MO) - I know, I know, I didn’t believe it myself at first. But trust me, it gets worse (or funnier depending how sadistic you are).
- M. Y. Butt (Saint Louis, MO) - When did St. Louis decide it hated babies?
- Richard Large (Eufaula, AL) - Good ole’ Dick might have hated filling out forms last name first but I’m guessing Richard Little (Saint Louis, MO) would probably be willing to trade.
- Ben Dover (Nineveh, IN) - I wish I were kidding. Look it up. Shouldn’t there be some sort of mercy rule for this type of thing?
- Gayford Buttram (Niangua, MO) - And the Buttram family makes their second appearance on the list. Here’s a tip, if your last name includes the word Butt in it (in which case, again, I’m sorry) please for the love of everything holy don’t put the word “gay” anywhere near your poor kid’s name. You know… not that there’s anything wrong with that.
- And last but certainly not least we have Michael Huntsucker (Kansas City, MO) - $1,000 and my first born child says he doesn’t go by Mike.

1I was in the service with a guy who had the last name Pipes.
He named his son Rusty. I’m not making this up either.

2If you havent’ read the “About Hilarious Names” page, you should. Suffice it to say I’m one of the folks who gave the owner of this site the name BJ (he’s lucky he wasn’t a girl, our choice for that was “Hot Lips”).
In our defense I can only say that it was a time before text messaging when people spoke in complete words. When we were upset we said things like “WHAT THE F•••” rather than WTF. I know we wasted a lot of time that way but we got by.
It was only later that a possible problem arose and by then it was too late and, to tell the truth, we didn’t really care all that much. After all we were also the generation that grew up on Johny Cash’s hit, “A Boy Named Sue.” We figured he’d either grow up tough or die. And he did manage to grow up, so I guess no harm no foul.
I could also mention the initials we didn’t use including (sticking with the Bs here) BM and BS. Either of which might have been more appropriate as it turns out.
And, in closing, I would like to remind my son that I’m aware of the other nicknames he got stuck with in junior high and high school and I’m not afraid to post them if he continues to give his mother and I grief.

4When I was younger, I knew a man that we called “Mr. Harry”. I always thought that was odd, until my mom told me his last name was Faget, or something along a similar spelling, but equally ominous pronunciation.

5Jess… maybe it was originally supposed to be pronounced fa jay and lost something in the translation? Poor guy.
Can’t we have some sort of child naming review board?

All he did the first day of class was write his name on the board and tell the students to get the laughs over with, then he walked out. (University of South Carolina.) a freind in the nave told me of a girl that enlisted named Guzzler. of course the first rank is Seaman…thats probably madeup though.

35@ bw - the commentary next to it should help a bit. Men by the name of John often go by the name of Jack as well. Therefore - the name becomes Jack Koffman which sounds strikingly similar to “jack off man”

59At the law office my mom used to work at, one of the attorneys had a last name of Ryan. She must have thought it was quite clever when she named her son Ryan. I just couldn’t believe it.
Also, where my dad used to teach at a university, there was a grad student there named Starlett Marshall. That doesn’t sound interesting, except that she had married out of the cool part. Her name before she married was Starlett Knight.

we had many really bad fights over that because I do not want my kid getting teased being called “hillbilly” my boyfriend even admitted he hated his name and he hated getting teased but still wanted to give our son that name!
we did name him william but we call him by his middle name and I do not allow anyone to call him william, bill, billy…etc. when he has doc. apts I insist they call him by his middle name and when he starts school I will insist his teachers call him by his middle name. he is 7 months old now and will only respond to his middle name. if you say william he dosn’t even look at you!

One day his company called looking for him and I had to page him over the loud speaker. All I could think of was how am I going to get on the speaker and ask for “Dick Lipps” to pick up extension 205. Needless to say I chickened out and used Richard instead. The guy now lives in Ga. I also have a man named Rusty Boedicker who lives in Lakeland Fl. who is running for public office down here. Heck of a name for a poltician;must be a holdover from the Clinton Administration.

Were I to be a girl, the suggestion was Anita. My mother liked the name, but my father insisted otherwise to the howls of his friends. For a boy they suggested Woodrow so that my nickname might be Woody. My mother didn’t like that name. She did however think that Harold might be a good name!!!

104I knew a guy in middle school who was named Richard Seaman. I have never met a less jackass of a kid who was more ticked off at his parents. He was really quite bitter about the whole thing.

107I went to college with a girl named Jacquelyn Hyde. She was hot though which mitigated the damage of her name.

115I worked with a man named Richard Ramsbottom. Nicest guy, great sense of humor, but then again, I guess he would have to have to survive!
Worst name I ever encountered: Twongtip Panlathanacon
Used to work for the company that runs the UPS call-in-and-apply-for-a-job phone line. Lots of ‘good’ names there!!

119I had a teacher in high school whose last name was something like Siemenkowski. Naturally everybody just called him Dr. Siemen…
I work with a fellow with the last name of Saylor, who plans on naming his first child Gay…
I work with a lady who has the unfortunate initials PMS… And she married into it.
I recall reading something about a lady named “Pearl Hussy” who married a man with the last name of Harbor… The best part was a quote from the husband to be, something along the lines of “I told her she didn’t have to take my name, but I guess she was tired of being a Hussy.”

121Two very wealthy Houstonian ladies, Ima and Ura Hogg. Neither ever married - me, I would have said yes to the first man to ask me to marry just to change that last name.

122My personal favorite that I’ve heard (it came from a Letterman Top Ten list about…12 years ago) was Dick Smoker.
Yeah. I’d say it sucks to be him, but…well, yeah.

123I work with a quite attractive Asian woman named Mai Cao (pronounced My Cow), and my girlfriend whose dentist is named Peter Kiss thinks of me as “the man with the unfortunate name”. Go figure. Also, in Alaska, approximately mid-way between two prominent towns is a roadhouse owned by a slender fellow named Richard. Yep, you saw it coming, it’s Skinny Dick’s Halfway Inn.
