About NOTY
[i]
Name of the Year was founded in 1983 on an Ivy League campus. Its mission has remained unchanged: to discover, verify, nominate, elect and disseminate great names. All names included here are, to the best of our knowledge, real. No malice is intended.
[/i]
Not that you're surprised. Our sister nation of jocks, drinkers, surfers and -- um, what else to do they do Down Under? -- got behind their candidate and rode him like a joey on a jill to the promised land. So congratulations, Australia. With 82 percent of the vote, Aussie wonderboy Steele Sidebottom, the No. 4 seed out of the Dragonwagon Regional, routed Sithole Regional No. 11 seed Banana Yaya in the final of the 2010 Name of the Year Tournament. Have a Foster's to celebrate.

Without a word of lie my sis went to school with Richard Headley!

She actually went out with him briefly and - you guessed it - he was a d1ckhead apparently!

Seriously you'd think he would call upon deed pole but nope - he is still a d1ckhead.

Every school has a Mr./Mrs./Ms/ Glassbottom, Glasscock, Cock, Winterbottom etc. etc.

I think it is mandatory to have at least three in every school or something.

I know a Lisa Cox.. tried calling her 'Re' a few times.. that went well.


Also, I went to school in Vic with a Glenn Hunt - of course we all called him Mike. Not super funny though, until a relief teacher believed one of the kids in the class and called him Mike all day! LOL! He couldn't work out what was cracking everyone up.

Poor 'Mike' had a funny habit, at the drop of a hat, of burning supa bright with embarrassment (redder than I have ever seen anybody go) too for some reason. Boy that was a good day at school. Apparently somebody got educated there.. not me obviously!

Still I'm not fick enough to call my kid Mike Hunt or Ophelia Cox!

Had about 15 women called Sandy Beach from all over the USA
Ima Hogg was on there

The one that really stood out to me was a boy - Zippidy Doodah Day

Met a chick named Sandy (not Sandra) Dick.
She was super hot so nobody teased her.
Know a 12 year old kid in town named Jack Stranger.
Quite possibly the coolest name since Max Power.

Did my apprenticeship with a guy called Dicky Roots.

My previous Doctor's surname was Mortes. I asked him if was ever called Doctor Death.

He said no but that at Med School his nickname was Rigor.

Rush1t Shah was the name of an Indian boy at my primary school. I hope it meant something nice in Punjabi, coz otherwise you'd have a hard time forgiving your parents for that one.

*Edit* His real name reads Ru**** on first posting. The poor guy can't even write his name down on an internet forum

Funeral notice in todays paper for Cess Raymond Tanks, 70 yrs.

I am assuming Cess was a nick name, but notice in paper doesn't put it in italics or anything.
