LarryUK Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I was thinking to myself today about people I've known that had great names. One was a mechanic where I worked 30 years ago. He was just a little man. Walked with a limp. But his name was Johnny Vinyl! What a great name. A perfect 'rock and roll' name. Have you known 'normal' people with great (real) names?

CowboyBillyBob1 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Pretty much the first real job I had after graduating college was for a bank in their commercial credit and collection department. I remember calling a customer and her name was Velvet Bush. I could barely carry on the conversation without falling off my chair. It's been like 35+ears since that conversation and I still remember it like it was yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tman5293 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I really don't care much for modern names. However I very much like the names that the peoples of ancient Greece and Rome had. A few names that some here may or may not recognize:  Roman General Cornelius Scipio Africanus  Another, more well known roman with a name that inspires awe. This is probably the greatest name I've ever heard: Maximus Decimus Meridius.  A greek astronomer and philosopher: Aristarchus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
