        Had a buddy who’s last name was Richards, his dad’s name was Harry.

        Harry Richards… it had to be on purpose right?

        Knew a man who’s last name was Weiner. Parents named him Seymour. Maybe his parents first language wasn’t English.

            Nah, this was an actual government name (could be coincidentally the same) he was an elderly student a very large university at the time. Decided to go back to college for fun at 75 or so for whatever his reasons were. I was working at the service desk so we would help people get signed in and change their passwords when they forgot them and such.

          Oh man, you’re getting rare enough with that name that there’s probably not a lot of options. Nothing to gain and kinda weird, but that’s unique enough that it’s probably 5 minutes of google to figure out.

    There used to be a U.S. senator (fittingly, a homophobic Republican) named Dick Armey.
