I knew a guy in grad school who was working on his PhD just so people would stop calling him "Master Bates".

Of course, I was one of those who called him that; it suited his personality. :twisted:

I went to high school with a girl named Wendy. She absolutely hated it when the fast-food chain of the same name started their "Hot & Juicy" ad campaign.

Calgary had a schoolboard trustee named "Dick Hehr" - lawn signs everywhere during elections. His son "Kent" went to my school.

There's a realtor in Raleigh, NC, named Michael Hunt. For some reason, his website never shortens his first name to Mike...

My dad's - and hence my - last name is... :oops: ...DeButts. Fortunatly, my mom didn't change her name when she married my dad, so I've got Criscuolo to fall back on. I'm technically a Criscuolo-DeButts, but I usually just use Criscuolo.

Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.
