What's in a name?

I think sometimes people need to think twice before they name their kids... or marry someone.

An example: My boss has a client named Terry. This man married a woman named Teri. I am not joking. Kinda obnoxious to try to call their house.

Other times, I wonder if maybe someone is just playing a joke.

An example: A recent article in the Friend (a magazine published by the LDS Church) was written by someone named Paige Turner. Yep. An author is named Paige Turner. As in "Wow, that book is so good! It's really a page-turner!"

So those are two examples that I came up with. If I think of any others, I'll let you know. Do you have any?

How about Kale Lester Wall? Kind of sounds like "cholesterol" when you say it quickly. Poor kid.

I'm sure I can think of more . . . .
