About NOTY
[i]
Name of the Year was founded in 1983 on an Ivy League campus. Its mission has remained unchanged: to discover, verify, nominate, elect and disseminate great names. All names included here are, to the best of our knowledge, real. No malice is intended.
[/i]
Not that you're surprised. Our sister nation of jocks, drinkers, surfers and -- um, what else to do they do Down Under? -- got behind their candidate and rode him like a joey on a jill to the promised land. So congratulations, Australia. With 82 percent of the vote, Aussie wonderboy Steele Sidebottom, the No. 4 seed out of the Dragonwagon Regional, routed Sithole Regional No. 11 seed Banana Yaya in the final of the 2010 Name of the Year Tournament. Have a Foster's to celebrate.

Without a word of lie my sis went to school with Richard Headley!

She actually went out with him briefly and - you guessed it - he was a d1ckhead apparently!

Seriously you'd think he would call upon deed pole but nope - he is still a d1ckhead.

Every school has a Mr./Mrs./Ms/ Glassbottom, Glasscock, Cock, Winterbottom etc. etc.

I think it is mandatory to have at least three in every school or something.

I know a Lisa Cox.. tried calling her 'Re' a few times.. that went well.


Also, I went to school in Vic with a Glenn Hunt - of course we all called him Mike. Not super funny though, until a relief teacher believed one of the kids in the class and called him Mike all day! LOL! He couldn't work out what was cracking everyone up.

Poor 'Mike' had a funny habit, at the drop of a hat, of burning supa bright with embarrassment (redder than I have ever seen anybody go) too for some reason. Boy that was a good day at school. Apparently somebody got educated there.. not me obviously!

Still I'm not fick enough to call my kid Mike Hunt or Ophelia Cox!

Met a chick named Sandy (not Sandra) Dick.
She was super hot so nobody teased her.
Know a 12 year old kid in town named Jack Stranger.
Quite possibly the coolest name since Max Power.

Rush1t Shah was the name of an Indian boy at my primary school. I hope it meant something nice in Punjabi, coz otherwise you'd have a hard time forgiving your parents for that one.

*Edit* His real name reads Ru**** on first posting. The poor guy can't even write his name down on an internet forum

Funeral notice in todays paper for Cess Raymond Tanks, 70 yrs.

I am assuming Cess was a nick name, but notice in paper doesn't put it in italics or anything.
