My therapist's name is Pamela Anderson. I loved telling people I had to go have my therapy session with Pamela Anderson.

My brother dislikes his and and prefers to be called by his middle name instead. I almost have kind of a love/hate relationship with my own first name myself largely in part because of the numerous nicknames I had growing up and even into adulthood. Some people have an overwhelming capacity to be a little annoying even though it's in good fun.

I worked as a locksmith and our Chubb Rep was called Mike Lever. His car numberplate was '5 Lever' - which is funny if you are a locksmith.
I was trained by the owner of Churchill Safes, and it was a standing joke that his first name was Winston. He was Winston Churchill.

My Wife went to school with a girl who was called Tuesday Knight. And ended up in nursing alongside a doctor Payne.
Also worked and shook hands with a Doctor Harold Shipman, but that is another story.

Normal name in America, but not in Britain... I had a friend who was born here but moved to the states and her bosses name was Randy Dicks. She had a really hard time trying not to laugh at her boss, since over here, randy means 'horny'.

I worked for many years with a man whose name is John Offutt, who preferred to be called Jack. He loved to see people smile when he was introduced.

Hahahaa I had to say that one and then blushed lol

Posted the link to prove I wasn't joking. A former coworker of mine was a patient of his. She carried one of his business cards to prove she wasn't joking.

Debi & I knew Dr. Bills.
Doctor Payne lives down my street.
In grade school there were twins named Romulus and Roman. ( I hope they became pro wrestlers.)

Sheldon's were always called Shelly.
Nelson- Nelly
One kid tried to hide his French pronunciation of Andre Du Bois and was Andy DuBoyz. ( it would be decades before anyone put a ' z ' at the end of their rap name.)

I did work for a James St. James. And I remember he drove a British car.
