Strange surnames (other than Chair) on 18:16 - Jan 6 with 1072 views | hubble | Many moons ago my girlfriend went to school with a girl called Fanny Hymen. And next to my school was a dentist by the name of Dr Phang. Nominative determinism in full force there.

Strange surnames (other than Chair) on 03:50 - Jan 8 with 723 views | Match82 | I worked with a girl with the surname "Zero" which I always thought was an awesome name. The best for me though was the highly successful basketball player, Chris Bosh. Always felt like the game commentators missed a trick by not just saying "Bosh" every time he hit a shot. | | | |
