A guy that worked at our office was named Richard Dick. Several people would call and ask for Dick Dick. :D One day his brother phoned whose name was Tom. I politely asked if he had a brother, Harry. It was wasted since he had never come across the phrase, Tom, Dick and Harry.

What put the icing on the cake was to find out that Richard's court number was DIC007.

A girl I work with's son's friend is named Justin Thyme. Poor kid.

When I temped at the probation board in England I studied the case file of an inmate who had twin sons, named, I kid you not: Wayne-Shane and Shane-Wayne.
I read the file about 5 times to make sure it wasn't a joke.
