Heres another one for you guys. When we found out that we were having another baby (Thomas) and we found out that it was a boy we got emails from Marks family with suggested names for him. One of his brothers came up with Seymour Stripes. I couldn't do that to our little one.
When I worked at Boeing in 747 final assembly quality assurance, the FAA examiner in our department name is Dick Bender. He preferred that everyone call him Dick Bender, not Richard. He has a dry sense of humor as well.
Sometime ago, I read an article that said that William Lear, the inventor of the 8-track tape and the Lear jet, had a daughter that they named "Shanda".
Would it be too much to say that she was probably a bright kid who loved to hang around?
I once had a supervisor named Richard Gore. Not funny on its own, but consider this, my co-worker was named Robert Kilgore, he was an ex-marine. Richard didn't last long, do you think he thought it was a bad omen? I guess he was always on edge, was that a Page or an order? "Robert Kilgore .... Robert kill Gore!!! ... please come to QC office."

How about the once-upon-a-time most popular beer in St. Louis made by the famous Greisediech brothers. A google search turned up this tid-bit:
"Griesedieck Brothers Beer, the Griesedieck Bros.
Brewery, a St. Louis-based company, also brewed Falstaff Beer, the
biggest-selling brand of beer in St. Louis through the 'Sixties, at
least, much to the chagrin of Anheuser-Busch, the biggest-selling beer
in the world, except not in its own hometown.
