Funniest name you have ever Cold Called

Nov 14, 2005 5:47 pm

I need a laugh.  What is the funniest name you have ever cold called?  Give me your best shot.  It could also be the funniest name of one of your clients.  Thanks.

I used to have a client last name, Hurlbutt.  Kind of a visual image of someone vaulting a@@ end first over a fence.  Made me smile everytime I said it.

Not clients, but local names I've heard in the past...Harry Toole, Uneda Peter (why she married a guy with that last name is beyond me) and a Catholic Priest named Father Firmis Dick (forgive me if I misspelled any of these).

...off to do my "Hail Marys" and "Our Fathers"....

Here’s the name of a girl that was in my class. Her name is Jenn Fell. Her boyfriends name was Eric M. Down. If they got married and she kept her last name and added his…Jenn Fell Down. Not a joke, these was really their names.

Nov 15, 2005 3:42 pm

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.  I laughed out loud.

Also, just booked a great appointment.  Wishing you all the same good prospecting today.

Why? What was wrong with the name Stacy?

Dec 5, 2006 5:58 pm

I had Mr. & Mrs. Head as clients.  It always felt weird addressing her as Mrs. Head.  Now that I’m old I call eveyone by their first name but they’er long gone anyway.

Mike Hunt - a doorknock at EDJ...funny thing is, I didn't realize it for about a year that it could be a funny name

Dec 6, 2006 2:48 am

Richard Cummings…went by Dick; I thought he was a washed up 70’s porn star or something.

Dec 6, 2006 2:14 pm

One of the best I've seen is from Terre Haute, IN.  One of their "famous" artists is Omer Seamon.  His nickname is "Salty" (of course). So, some local banks offer checks with his artwork on them.  Wouldn't you like to have some Salty Seamon checks? 

Here is a link if you don't believe me:

The high school I went to liked to pull pranks over the PA system during morning announcements.  One of the best was a basketball camp that was being instructed by Mike Hawk.

One time when I was working at a summer job at a restaurant we were bored, so we called the hostess desk from the payphone and had them page "Mike Hunt" in the bar area in the middle of a crowded happy hour.  It was a riot....
Dec 6, 2006 6:14 pm

A buddy of mine in college had a "Mike Hunt" shirt.  He used to walk around saying, "Oh no, Mike Hunt's dirty" or "Have you seen Mike Hunt?"

Ahhh... good times....

When i first got out of college I was a drug rep.  I called on an OBGYN named Dr. Beaver.  His first name was Harry.  I swear to god. 

Dec 11, 2006 7:40 pm

Funny how doctor’s names can be.  Locally, we have a Dr. Doctor who is a psychiatrist.  In Houston, there was (may still be) a Dr. Butcher, surgeon.

Dec 11, 2006 8:39 pm

The OB Gyn who delivered my daughter was named Dr. Fillerup.
