No end to names that cause a chuckle
Some match their jobs, and others are just weird
Dear Kathi: Funny! Your sister's license plate reminds me of one that belongs to my neighbor, who happens to be an anesthesiologist. Her license plate reads: EPIDURL.
I am still hearing from readers offering names and some of them are a hoot. Read on:Dear Abby: Years ago, I was office manager for a printing company that did work for the American Tobacco Company in North Carolina. The purchasing agent's assistant there was a woman by the name of Flicka Ashe. Can you believe it! Dolores in Spartanburg, S.C.
Dear Abby: I have sold real estate for 18 years, and no one ever forgets my name. It's ... Beth Newhouse, Mayville, N.Y.
Dear Abby: My grandma fell and broke her hip last summer and had to have surgery. Her surgeon? Dr. Mark Cutright! Kathy in Tennessee
Dear Abby: Shame on you! How could you forget your fellow member of the Group for Advancement of Psychiatry Dr. John Looney? Frances Roton Bell, Dallas
Dear Abby: Would you like more names that match? My optician was named Ralph Glance, my daughter's allergist was Dr. Eitches, and my children's dentist is Dr. Spitz. Susan K., Hayward, Calif.
Dear Abby: When I was in high school, there was a family with the last name "Braa." Guess what the mom's first name was? "Iona"! My initials are "B.S.," but this story is not. B.S., Faribault, Minn.
Dear Abby: When my sister and I were children, we'd play a game called "I Spy" during road trips from Georgia to Alabama. On one of them we spotted a septic tank installation and maintenance company named "Seth Poole and Sons." Larry in Doerun, Ga.
Dear Abby: I used to work with a young woman named Linda Snow. She met and married a wonderful man. When she did, she became Mrs. Snow-White! A Fan, Sun City, Ariz.
