54I work for a newspaper that publishes the legal name changes in the area. A couple of memorable ones...

and
'Je ne Sais Quoi'
One of my dad's CPA clients is named 'Ruby Druby'. I think that name is awesome.

My boss' name is Fernando, but all of his friends call him "Bobit".
He has a friend named "Pinky" (short for Rosa), but the best is his friend Ditzy. When I first met her, I felt glad it was her nickname.
Then I found out that Ditzy is this woman's actual name. And she happens to be a super-smart and shrewd businesswoman.
Too true, my ex-girlfriend was Filipino and she had one aunt named Baby and one named Girlie. This ex-girlfriend's last name was Bugayong.
I nominate my daughter, whose name is Narnia.

60My girlfriend's name is Marieke, pronounced Marie-kah. She says she has met 1 or 2 other Marieke's in her life. It took my parents a while to remember it. I still think my Dad forgets it sometimes. Marieke's niece is named Arabella.
