while I'm not a big fan of "reasons" for why someone does something wrong......
....with being saddled with a name like that, I could understand it!
I mean, common. "Luke" - sure. Even "Han". Or "Lando" would have worked. But the whole dang name?????
What were his parents thinking????
Maybe I should have named Noah "Yoda".

No, no IB. That's Poughkeepsie. You say it like this:Innocent Bystander wrote:And as if that wasn't enough, he lives in Winnikee Avenue in Ploughkeepsie.
Puh-KIP-see.
No worse than taking a word like Worcester and smooshing it into Wuster.
Well. Maybe a little worse.
Which leads me to this question.
If one strawberry is a "straw-bree," What is one unspecified berry? A bree?
I wonder if Landocalrissian would rather change his name to Sue.

Ha ha... the report goes on to say that Landocalrissian ".. was transported to Saint Francis Hospital for medical evaluation,"
I didn't know that the folks in Poughkeepsie had perfected teleportation...
(btw-- that's about 1.5 hr south of where I live).
On a related note, there is, I am not making this up, a guy with the first name of named Kal El living right here in the NY Capitol district. I guess his parents thought it was a super idea...

There's a story in the UK about a barrister who announces to the Judge that his name is Bury, but pronounces it "Bewry". The Judge persistently gets this wrong and the barrister eventually corrects him, politely enough, whereupon the Judge pulls rank and goes into a tirade.
"The name 'Bury' is pronounced 'Berry', as in 'Bury-St-Edmunds'. I've never heard anyone pronounce this as 'Bewry' and I consider it preposterous. However you may choose to pronounce this name in your free time, while you are in my courtroom, you will pronounce it 'Berry'. Do I make myself clear?"
"Perfectly, Mi'lud."
The case continues and the offending barrister is noticed to convulse with silent laughter. After a pause he convulses with laughter again and the Judge is moved to take notice.
"Mr Berry, something appears to be amusing you. Perhaps you would like to share it with the court?"
"Certainly, Mi'Lud. Those twelve members of the public in that box there, they think they're sitting on a Jury."
[Colloquially, in the UK, a chamber-pot is known as a jerry.]
