Hey! Check this out! Started a search and found this!
Engelbert Humperdinck (composer) - Wikipedia
The things you find out from just perusing around!
:rofl:

lol
Our man Engelbert from the 50's stole the name...

Our youngest we named Matthew.
The nurse said what's his name? I said "Matthew"
"excuse me" she said
"Matt, Matthew"

"Oh that's a nice normal name I haven't heard in a while."

Then my oldest says when he has a kid, wants to name him Shadow or maybe Arrow. (he's 21)
I told him in that case I'll have to nickname the kid "hey you."
 
My cousin knew a kid named "Boy". That was on his birth certificate....and they were from the south.
 
BHS does a song similar to "JBMHR" called "Some Dispute Over T Shirt Sales".

...but "JBMHR" is Ministry featuring Gibby Haines.

I still have that shirt.

It generated a lot of comments back in that day.

Mostly- "what church do you go to?"

Right up there with comments about my M.C. Escher shirt which were mostly- "who's his DJ?"
 
"No man with a good car needs to be justified"
 
Named my son Creed but it has nothing to do with the band.
I named my second (last son) Creed, yes I am an old CCR fan, but named him that because I didn't want anymore children, a scroll or Creed can not be added to once it has been written, he is now 40, now that I see you named your son Creed there are three Creeds that I know of :thumbsup:

I like CCR, as well! It’s definitely not a common name.

Are you sure you meant to quote me ?
 
Old Italian joke.
A guy takes his sister in law to the hospital when she goes into labor, and husband is out of town.
Doctors confuse him for the husband and say she just delivered a boy and girl congrats. What's their names.
He tells them the girl is Denise and the boy is Da nephew.
Or as the old Johnny Cash song goes, a boy named Sue.
 
"DaNephew" sounds like a legit athlete name nowadays. Lots in a name. Too bad it becomes a contest on how unique you can spell that name. I worked with a guy named eric, he spelled it 'Airek'. Maybe it was foreign spelling?
 
Reminds me of this Key and Peele skit.

A guy I worked with his last name was Soules. He named his son Harry Robert Soules. You guessed it Harry R Soules. He couldn't wait till he graduated LOL
 
When my buddy was born, his mom and dad wanted to call him Douglas. During the birth certificate process, they asked who the baby was. Whoever answered said "That's Hughe's son Douglas" To this day, the official name on his birth certificate is Hughson Douglas (last name).
 
“Little” was added in front of his name.
Humperdinck is his last name. Engelbert is VERY old.
I’m not sure where it comes from but it is a derivative of Robert which came from Germany that means “Bright Fame” which is a close translation. There are few words that are. Near equal from the Norselands that are same/similar in meaning.

Engelbert Humperdinck is his stage name. His manager changed his name to Engelbert Humperdinck, the same name as the late 19th century German composer and creator of the opera Hansel and Gretel. His real name is Arnold George Dorsey.

I knew the stage name thing but until I goggled the name, that’s when I found out about the older gent and his musical composition skills.
 
"Freakanomics" had a chapter about this, what terrible names do to kids.
A set of twins, named La MON zhel oh, and Oh RON zhel oh ( spelled Lemonjello and Orangejello), and She TADE, spelled ********.
I think I would have done a "boy named Sue" on my parents......
When I was in the Army we had a guy that converted to Islam and we called him shithed for about 3 months before he he figured it out.
