I entered a prescription order for a woman named Rhoda Wiener today.

Large quantities of painkillers?

I'm talking about the child named Anatmon. Or Anatom. I've been trying to puzzle it out for months now and even the mother isn't consistent enough for me to figure out which one it is.

"Montana" backwards?

That's possibly worse than any of them, except the preschooler (for sheer scale).

I saw a great name in the credits for a Westworld episode the other day: Ptolemy Slocum. I unironically love this.

Ha, I noticed that one after the most recent episode, as well!

There's a Dr. Bone that works at a local orthopedics practice. Sometimes I forget and then when I see his name I am pleasantly surprised and amused all over again.
His first name is Lawrence, and "Larry Bone" sounds really funny to me.

Yeah, the first time I saw that scene, even as a mere youtube clip, made my jaw utterly drop in a way I had never experienced before.

I did a little googling around and there are a bunch of old ladies named "Cumonie," possibly also related to "Cymonie" and "Cymon" (I wonder if that's just some wacky language's feminized version of Simon?)

To contribute, there are a set of twins named Paris and Hermes at my school (not French).

There was that movie Splash where Daryl Hanna is a mermaid and when she wants to give herself a human name she points at the first street sign she sees and asks Tom Hanks what it says. It’s Madison Ave. so she goes with Madison for her name and it’s played for laughs because that was such an odd name for a woman. I wonder if that was the origin of the name Madison for girls because it doesn’t even seem weird now.

For that matter I can’t think of another woman named Daryl.

Oh, I actually knew a woman named Daryl in college!
Interesting about the Madison thing.

Most unfortunate name I've ever seen was this dude in a class of mine at college whose Korean name was Romanized as "Dong-suk [last name]"

It's the old Swedish version of Erik. Old norse Eirikr became Ieriker then Jerker then Jerk. Jerker is rare enough and this is the first time I've seen Jerk in the wild.

In college, my roomie/bff bought the desk from Ikea named the "Jerker." It never stopped being funny.

Did they buy it just for the name ?

That was a significant factor in the purchase.
(It was also one of the cheaper ones despite being a pretty beefy and solid steel+wood construction)

I've always wondered about that re: guys named Dick UnfortunateSurname. Most of them must be legally named Richard, right? Why go by Dick when you could be Richard, or Rich, or Rick? Was Dick just so ubiquitous a nickname that they would have been seen as weirder not to use it?

I realize the answer, at least for the older guys, is probably that their surname didn't have unfortunate slang connotations until later in their lives, so they got used to being called Dick and didn't want to change... but I still wonder.

Eh, OED says "dick = penis" has been around at least since the late 1800s

Is Sundance DiGiovanni's actual given first name Sundance? I've only known of this guy's existence for like three minutes, and the fact that he's apparently involved in e-gaming makes me wonder.

As best as I can tell, yes?
(Found articles dating to 2006 saying as much)
