|    In grade school (mid-sixties) I knew a guy named Luke Warmwater.  :-)

I knew a fellow named Kohn.  His son-in-law's last name was Cohen.  His
daughter actually hyphenated her name to Kohn-Cohen, but her husband just
stuck with his birth surname.

I grew up with a Sandra Wolf who thought "Sandy Wolf" was so distinctive that
she kept her maiden name when she married.  Her husband's last name is Young;
I thought she should go by "Sandy Young Wolf" but she thought I was crazy. 
OK, so she's right.

Once I called a state agency about a complicated issue and was referred to
their legal division.  The lawyer who eventually answered all the questions
was named Juliette Romeo; quirky parents, she told me.

Tjames asked for funny last names, but at high school we had a teacher whose
first name was Placent; I hope her middle initial wasn't A.  (I never had a
class with her, or I might have found out.)
