It All Begins With The Name

I’m a huge fan of silly names. So often that is the cornerstone of a good character. I don’t know, a good name really gets me off on the right foot… Perhaps it can be traced back to the eighth grade when Kyle & I spent all of our time making up fictional basketball players with humorous names & outrageous back stories. At some point I should get around to posting those here, if it doesn’t embarrass Kyle too much…

But anyway, I keep thinking of good character names from shows, movies & books, so I figured I’d better start a thread so I can jot down favourites as they come to me. Feel free to do the same, of course. They don’t necessarily have to be silly names; I appreciate names that are simply good as well, like one of my favorite character names of all time, Neal Page, from Planes, Trains & Automobiles.

This is just one of those lists that I keep meaning to start so I can keep chipping away at it. So while it may be slow-going, it’ll be good to start compiling…

  11. Okay, so back to the ficticious characters Kyle & I used to make up when we were young’ins…

    It pretty much begins & ends with Jamie Whitmore. Correct me if I’m wrong, someone who was there, but I believe Jamie was birthed in Jackson, Ohio when we were down there (in ‘89, maybe?) for the Apple Festival. We got to talking to some locals about lacrosse, of all things, & the lies just started spewing forth.

    I won’t deny that I was most likely the primary culprit — at the same time I don’t wanna take unworthy credit, so since my memory isn’t what it once was, I’ll just give a shaky testimony. But after that we saw to it that pretty much everyone knew of Jamie Whitmore — I think I saw him as my alter ego; he even appeared on the school absence list on several occassions. H.S. guys, did he make it in the yearbook my senior year? I don’t remember.

    But anyway, here are a handful of our other basketball players. I’ll spare you their backstories…

    T.J. Jackson
    Randy Chippawa
    Ronnie Chekluvez
    Johan Ellison
    Chavez Chavez
    The Albino Kid

    Keep in mind, folks, there isn’t a whole lot to do in rural Ohio. & during study hall, non-readers had but two choices: Oregon Trail or whatever your imagination could come up with. We did plenty of both.

  13. If Lucy, Daughter of the Devil doesn’t get picked up, I’ll have to find a way to pass the pilot around, because it’s awesome. Adult Swim would be crazy not to grab it.

    Anyway, there’s a character on there named DJ Jesus. That’s a great name…

  15. After this thread dies down, I vow to construct, from the suggestions posted here, my concrete list of top ten favourite fictional names…

  20. This has the potential to be one of my most favoritest threads ever. When we’ve scraped together enough names, I’ll give the word & I hope some of you will join me in compiling an ordered top 10 list of names from this thread. Gonna be hard… Start framing out your list now in your head.

    FYI — Arnold T. Pants, Esq. and Claude Henry Smoot are two of the greatest names of all time.

  30. Yet another Monty Python name: Dr. Peaches Bartkowicz


  31. Some guy named “Lemuel Claude” just emailed me.


  32. I don’t watch it very often, but tonight on The Man Show they had a great segment where they had guests with really bad names. The best though was at the end when they showed a list of some other real people who refused to come for one reason or another. Needless to say, the names pretty much all had something to do with wieners. I can tell you from experience, we’re pretty much used to it. But some of these were great. A little too bad to share here, but I think I must mention that the last one was Dick Nibbler.


  33. Cross-referencing the Adult Swim thread, I’m pretty sure this new Minoriteam show has a leprechaun villain called Shamus McFisticuffs.


  34. some i like

    real names by the way
    Dick Masheter (aka dick masheter chevrolet)
    Helen Waite (remember the old signs “go to Helen Waite”


  35. On yesterday’s Simpsons, Lisa cross-dressed to get into the boys section of Springfield Elementary, and her name was Jake Boyman. Neat.

    It’s so obvious he made it up for the war.


  55. George Stephanopoulos…..that had to be a nightmare to learn as a kid, but it’s fun to say. It kinda sounds like a severe medical condition. I’m sorry sir, but our testing shows that you have stephanopoulos!


  56. Jim Biggers


  57. From Appalachian Emergency Room on SNL: Tiny Nations

    2. Dick Trickle
    1. Chubby Cox

    Taken from here (with a classic Dick Butkus pic)


  59. NICE FIND

    butkus picture is sweet, and johnny dickshot sounds like it came from Son of the ebach.


  60. Since we don’t really have a thread griping about product names, I’ll stick this here…

    Gayest product name: Pepsi Jazz


  61. Speaking of Fletch, I’ve had the name Peggy Lee Zorba in my head all day…


  62. one of my favorite names from the past:

    Bob Lust aka lusty bob aka that coyle guy (he worked for coyle and was spotted in the bandroom from time to time)



  63. I was at the doc’s the other day and there was a woman named Summer Flowers.




  64. i was reading over a 6th grade proficiency test and these were the names of people in the question
    I assume this is an effort to make the test more multicultural.
    In parentheses i put what i thnk their nationality is.

    Noriko (japanese or chinese)
    Rafael (greasy italian or mutated reptile)
    Shaneen (middle eastern)
    Wayne (texan, possibly a serial killer his question involved him shopping at a mall with only a roll of quarters)
    Todd (canadian)
    Ari (indian)
    Sancho (native american)
    Mr. Wapahi (native american)
    Jamal (black)
    Kendra (californian)
    Eduardo (latino)
    Jaleel (black)
    Terry and Ron (gay)
    Noriko again


  65. 1. I like that “gay” is a nationality (Gay Nation is most likely an online community but I’m not going to look it up)
    2. Sancho is probably Mexican
    3. Chances are they’re all from California


  66. One thing’s for sure. Terry and Ron do not live in Iran.
    http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070925/us_nm/iran_ahmadinejad_scene_dc_1


  67. Scott said:
    One thing’s for sure. Terry and Ron do not live in Iran.

    From the article:
    “This is a sick joke,” said Scott Long of Human Rights Watch, saying Iran tortures gays under a penal code that punishes homosexuality between men with the death penalty.

    I’m sure it was just the context, but I giggled at both “Scott Long” and “penal.”


  68. not sure how acurate this is but

    http://www.howmanyofme.com

    by the way there are 40 Kevin Keener’s in the U.S.A. (that we know of)


  69. 30,176 William Johnsons in the US. No big surprise there…


  70. Further proof that I am unique.


  71. There are 4 of me.

    Unless I go with Stinky, then I’m unique.


  72. 37 as Julia
    58 as Julie
    1 as Jules
    0 as Kimiko…. you may call me Kimiko…


  73. I’m a loner as well. Interesting facts:
    99.64 percent of people with the first name Scott are male (are there really female Scotts?)
    There are 0 people in the U.S. with the last name Pairan (my parents have been lying to me all these years…my real name: Scott Long)


  74. Scott, I’m with you…a loner. Not only are there no Lisa Minkens there are no Minkens. I’m a little concerned.

    Although…(interesting Lisa Minken history) our last name has only been around four generations. My great grandfather moved here from Finland with his 5 siblings. Our last name used to be Minkkinen but the brothers wanted to shorten it. Why? No clue, I’m guessing so people wouldn’t tease them for being Finish or maybe it was easier to write or maybe so telemarketers would have a chance at pronouncing it correctly. All five of my great grandfather’s brothers changed their last name to Minkin, my great grandfather changed his to Minken.

    So, maybe the name change is why no Minkens show up? Or it’s just a stupid inaccurate Web site. You pick.


  75. I was subbing the other day and a kid asked me what “nationality” my last name is. I said, “American.” Mainly I was being a smart aleck, but I actually don’t know where exactly it originated in the old country (Siam). Perhaps Huguenot:
    http://www.huguenotsocietyofamerica.org/huguenots.php#P

    Also, while I was subbing, some kid listed among his pasttimes, “Judaism”.


  76. Scott said:
    Also, while I was subbing, some kid listed among his pasttimes, “Judaism”.

    Oh man. This is amazing. Thanks for sharing. That made me laugh so hard.



  77. This kat’s senior photo was right next to my mom’s in the 1969 Capitalian. Unfortunately, I’m told that unlike Karen Knauff’s, his “k” was not silent. He went on to star in several blaxploitation films.


  78. Scott, I’ve been laughing so hard at Clyde here… This has been making me think of the Chappelle’s skit where he’s a 50s milkman.


  79. This is timely! Deadspin just linked to this guy as their funniest name of the year. I may have to agree.


  80. From tonight’s SNL: Tim Jacklepappy


  81. I’m going to think about Jacklepappy for a while after reading that.



  82. Funny…I would have pegged Count Chocula as the rapist.



  83. not sure how acurate this is but

    http://www.howmanyofme.com

    There are 97,338 people in the U.S. with the first name Darren. There are 2,463,877 people in the U.S. with the last name Johnson.
    Statistically the 2nd most popular last name.


  84. Oh and there are 788 people in the U.S. named Darren Johnson.


  85. We really need to fix Darren’s scroll bar…


  86. Ummm that’s how I got it…I scrolled up and saw Kevin’s post from last year so I thought I’d try it. Dorkus.


  87. I wonder what she calls “going ploppies”…
    http://girlshoops.scout.com/a.z?s=209&p=8&c=1&nid=2670826


  88. According to Kevin’s http://www.howmanyofme.com website, my name is the 5th most popular name in the US (give it another 10 years and my name won’t be so popular – Mary was 93rd most popular baby name of 2007). 99.66% of people with the first name of Mary are female.
    89 people in the country have my full name.


  89. The sad thing is, that leaves .34% of some poor boy named “Mary” being teased by the other boys at school.


  90. I was watching 30 days again and this one placed a morman lady who doesn;t think gays should be adopting with a couple of hommo guys who have adopted four kids. It was one of the more uncomfortable shows i’ve watched since the lady was kind of unreasonable, and she cried a lot over a lot of things. Anyway one of the real moms of the kids adopted by the gay guys name was:

    Vickie Pancake


  91. My cats name is : Ellowyn Noel

    Both names i wanted for my daughter however they managed to get tagged to the cat so they couldn’t be reused. Women are sneaky and diabolical.

    Kids names ended up being:

    Six Year Old Son : Noah Issac
    18 Month Old Daughter: Genesis Brooke

    Realizing that this isn’t that funny, you can basically ignore this post.


  92. It’s ok, Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban celebrated their first child together and named her Sunday Rose Kidman Urban.
    Are they kidding?


  93. Darren: Celebrities do not startle me anymore, they’ll do anything for some trophy of originality including procreate and make up a crappy name. Your picture-sake, Jason Lee, tortured his poor child with the name “Pilot Inspektor”.



  94. McLish was named for Calvin Coolidge, Julius Caesar, and Tuskahoma, Oklahoma. He has stated that the origin of his lengthy name is that his father was given permission to name the newborn, and he took full advantage of the opportunity.



  95. I always loved Gene Parmesan from Arrested Development. “Aaah! Gene!”



  96. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pafsCADYKs&feature=related

    the above link has nothign to do with names i was sending it to someone, this link has to do with unfortunate names, and chuck woolery just has to rub it in





  97. From It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia:
    Peter Nincompoop


  98. I was watching 30 days again and this one placed a morman lady who doesn;t think gays should be adopting with a couple of hommo guys who have adopted four kids.

    1. Kevin, sometimes your typos are awesome. I love “hommo”.
    2. I went to college with and Pete Gruhlke went to high school with someone named Nerissa Pancake.
    3. I watched several of the first season of 30 Days and thought it was pretty good. It actually bordered on objectivity. One of the episodes was where he and wifey try to live on minimum wage, and it was set in Columbus.


  99. Having a mean nickname is now good for you. Way to go, Stinky.


  100. Having a mean nickname is now good for you. Way to go, Stinky.

    Well if I’d known we were helping Stinky I never would’ve called her that…


  101.

  106. From 30 Rock in which Jenna is trying to play Janis Joplin in a movie but can’t because of legal issues: “Sing Them Blues White Girl: The Jackie Jormp-Jomp Story”
    I find this especially funny because in high school Bill referred to a girl named Jackie Jory as Janis Joplin because he couldn’t remember her name/thought it would be funnier.


  107. it was jackie jordan


  108. Scott said:
    Bill referred to a girl named Jackie Jory as Janis Joplin because he couldn’t remember her name/thought it would be funnier.

    I’m guessing there are a lot of stories out there that include “[Bill] thought it would be funnier.” Sadly, it rarely turned out to be the case. It’s pushing 20 yrs later though and Scott remembered this one and Kevin corrected him. That’s gotta count for something.




  109. From this season’s Reno 911:  Levon French


  110. I’m re-watching Dead Like Me and realized that George’s dad’s name is “Clancy Lass.” Bummer. I wonder if he was teased as an awkward and fictional adolescent…
    Also, Deloris Herbig had a website called “Getting Things Done With Delores” this makes me giggle and might be a good team name option.
    Tonight’s rerun of the Office mentioned a good idea called “Shoe La La”: a fancy upscale mens shoe store for important life events.. also a team name option..


  111. Get Your Smokey On (I spend way too much time mentally filing potential team names, but this is a very odd ad slogan that deserves to be mocked)


  112. Shoe La La is indeed a good team name.  But now that I look at it, the whole thing would be even better if there’s room for it:  “Shoe La La: a fancy upscale mens shoe store for important life events.”


  113. On one of the local TV channels, there is a weatherman whose name is Dana Turtle.   
    That name just makes me chuckle.
