I was one referred to a gastroenterologist named Dr. Kwak. I couldn't believe someone actually had that name, so I called the insurance company to confirm. Indeed. She must have gotten a lot of ribbing. I actually decided not to see her because I just couldn't picture me going into her office with a straight face.

TUNA?

No way! She must really hate her parents.

I knew a girl who was determined to hyphenate her last name if she ever got married. Her last name is Frye. She turned down a date from a boy who's last name was French. She just couldn't see going through life as a French-Frye, no matter how nice the boy was!

most of the names may be unfortunate, but all sounding jewish. how would you feel if you posted a name and it was an actual imamother or her relative? I bet they would feel made fun of.

just saying.

Thank you for the good laugh. I haven't laughed so much at one thread in a long time!

I used to have Teimani neighbors with the last name Noach. They also had a son named Noach.
So, his name is Noach Noach. Go figure.

Last week I went with a family member to see a neurologist at Hadassah named Professor Zohar Argov. This is also the name of a famous Israeli singer who was a druggie and committed suicide. It' just weird because it's such an uncommon name!

its pretty common with sefardim to have the same last name and first name. Eg Menashe menashe, Yosef Yosef.

We have a daughter Elkie and we were worried she'd marry someone with the last name Seltzer! She didn't.

DH worked with a man named Jack Danish - his wife's name was Cinnamon

I'd say the name Cinnamon was pretty unfortunate in itself!

I knew of a girl in my previous community called Brochali. I always thought that was pretty ill thought out for an English speaking family in an English speaking country.

I was telling dh this story (when I finally stopped laughing long enough) and we both couldn't understand how he actually let people call him that.
I mean itchee? He could have demanded yitzchok...
