Truth Stranger Than Fiction

Earlier today I emailed North West airlines with a question. The customer service rep who responded was called Iffy Thrower.

I kid you not.

Did I ever tell you the names of the people involved in my first car pile up?

The car that hit, was driven by a man with the last name Orifice.

The officer on the scene, his last name was Cop. That's right, Officer Cop. I'd like to think it was spelled Kopp or something, but I don't think it was.
Still the worst name I've seen so far was sports newswomans Willow Bay. (will obey)

I processed a homeowner's application for a guy who's first name was Shlomo. Shlomo. Spelt just like that: Shlomo.

Iffy got off easier than some.

I'll say. Some fuckwit on one of the babynaming communities wants to name her unborn daughter Avarice. Her bf/hubby/partner/whatever likes the name.

Not only that, she's aware of its meaning, yet it's still being considered. She personally prefers Gillian, but the male fuckwit counterpart likes Avarice. God I hope Gillian wins.

Oy.

I have a theory about children's names, in some small part, shaping their personalities. Does this twit think there's any way in heaven or hell that her child will grow up kind and well-adjusted with a name like Avarice?

Doctors ought to be able to add a "stupid baby name" tax to the bill. :P
