1) Silly names. The silliest name I heard today was Maxi Whare. Really. I'm not making this up. There was a person named Maxi Whare. My mom claims to know a Dia Ria and a Sunny Spotz. What's the silliest name you know?
2) Someone finally named a city in Mexico after me. About freakin' time.
3) Madden quote: "You pay attention. You know what they've done. So, when you meet them again, you know what, well, you may not know what, well, you know what they have done, but, well, you may decide that, well, at least you know what they've done." Yep. Got it. I'm a football wiz thanks to Madden.
All right. To bed with me. All this silliness can only lead to trouble! Have a good night, all.

There are always good names heard second-hand, but the best one I saw with my own two eyes was Ivana Vujina. Audibly, it sounds perfectly fine. In print, it's very Austin Powers.
Not exactly silly, but very striking:
1. Calestous Juma.
2. Charlotte Hunt-Grubbe. Not that funny, if she weren't an entomologist. Which she is.
While I can vouch for the above two from personal contact, this last one is at (reliable) second hand. From glorious South Africa, which truly abounds with wonderful first names (Welcome is particularly confusing), I give you:
3. Magnificent Vessel.
Funniest names i saw while working in a pharmacy:
Augusto Condom
Diane Sixkiller
John Madden sold me on Tough Actin' Tinactin
OH! I don't know how I forgot about Bobette Bleu Butts. I saw her ID, folks. No lie.
We heard someone named their children (emphasis on italicized parts) O-ron-Gel-o and Leh-mon-gel-o, names they's seen somewhere and liked. The correct spellings: orange jello, lemon jello.
And Glo, I had no idea your name was Netzahualcoyotl. :-O
I'm having a brain cramp so I can't think of too many funny ones...Elder Dingleberry is the only one who comes to mind...I don't remember his firstname but people have a hard time introducing him. I always want to ask where the Younger Dingleberry is...hee.
I'm willing to bet Madden eats a big bowl of mash poatoes before the game.
Omar - Bobette Bleu Butts. That's fantastic.
RaJ - You can call me Netzie. I didn't expect anyone to locate my city so easily :)
Sam - Elder Dingleberry. So true on so many levels.
Dem - Really. It's time for an intervention, man. But if you want, you can come to my posh resort village and hang w/ the LB crew.
JM - ditto Dem's response. Really. The mashed potatoes and Madden. He's probably allergic.
How did I miss Scroob? Isn't it kooky when scientists have names that match their professions?! It happens all the time. I want to ask if it's a pseudonym, y'know, because being a doctor requires you to maintain your privacy at all costs.
Hey! Blogger just called me a dorkl. That's exceptionally rude. I'm *so* getting rid of word verification.
My parents knew a family with the last name Lear. They named their daughter Crystal. And gave her the middle name Shanda. That's the honest to God truth.
Crystal. Shanda. Lear.
Oh, and I had this friend I used to skate with. His full name was Nimrod Paris Warda.
we had this phase in malaysia where everyone who was anyone kept naming their sons Danish. My grand aunt's daughter's daughter's son's name is Danish. they pronounced it DAH-nish, but dude, no amount of twisting and play of the tongue is going to change the fact that you named your kid a pastry.
Beccapicco! What does it mean, do you know?
I am so sad to cover all these up...each comment is hilarious. Really, who picks these names?!
And then there was FormerInternAndy. We all know he makes my day. Always.
I know I'm late, but I actually know someone called Justin Time. Corny, but I couldn't resist.
There's a dentist around here somewhere called Dr. Dung...
Bearnie Button, she was in my ward
