You're one of those people who upon meeting someone named "Clark" instantly makes it a life goal to fix him up with someone named "Lois", aren't you? [Smile]

My mom has a student in her literacy program (now a first grader) who is developing quite a complex due to his name. He is very cute though.

The Captain of my fencing team at Uni was named James Kirk.

But we called him Jim.

My cousin is named Clark (it's a family name), and he's been tired of such jokes since before I knew him.

I had a drafting class with a Charlie Brown. He asked me if my mother took Valium (she did, how he guessed I don't know), and then asked me to steal some from her. He offered to pay me for it.

One day he was absent, and when he came back he announced that it had been a bad day, because he'd been indicted.

Shortly afterward he stopped coming to school, and we found out he'd been convicted of mugging an old lady.

I heard two guys talking and then someone else came up and they were introduced... one of the guys was named Christopher Robin. I started chuckling uncontrollably when I heard that, and I felt REALLY REALLY bad that I did, but I couldn't help it. I am not sure if they heard me or not, I just overheard the conversation while reading a book in a public place. Maybe they thought I read something funny?

The really strange thing is when people choose to go by something chuckle-worthy. I still laugh when I think of the VP at a previous employer whose name was Richard Short - he chose to go by "Dick".
