There used to be a U.S. senator (fittingly, a homophobic Republican) named Dick Armey.

My dad works with a guy whose name is Paul Hiscock. I didn't believe it until I heard his voicemail greeting.

I knew a guy named Richard Odar, pronounced odor. He didn't go by Dick.

What if your LAST name was holden and your FIRST name was berries?

You would B.Holden to that name.

Reminds me of the classic cricket commentary - "The bowler's Holding the batsman's Willey".

Dick Hayter (given name Richard) was the mayor of Manhattan, Kansas and my dad's boss at KSU.

How can you be mayor of an island, a state and a person?

Elections, how do they work?

Had a buddy who's last name was Richards, his dad's name was Harry.

Harry Richards... it had to be on purpose right?

I had a client named Mike Cox. Rad dude, but I giggle to myself every time he answers the phone "Hello this is Mike Cox.."

I knew a Michael Hunt growing up. His life in our rural Texas school went about as well as you could imagine.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

Captain Mike Hawke Sir! 😆🙄

You gotta wonder what Mr. and Mrs. Cox were thinking naming their son Michael. Or Holden…

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

His parents, Chase Cox and Mary Cox?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 months ago (2 children)

They were thinking lol, wouldn't it be funny if he went by Mike?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago

An ex girlfriend of mine had the last name of Pierce-Cox.

I'm in danger...

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Was her first name Chastity?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago (2 children)

No, but even if it was, I ain't here to share anyone's identity.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Oh man, you're getting rare enough with that name that there's probably not a lot of options. Nothing to gain and kinda weird, but that's unique enough that it's probably 5 minutes of google to figure out.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It was a joke yo.

Chastity Pierce-Cox

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

I know LOL!
