I like to scan the wedding announcements page of the local paper on Sundays, looking for those serendipitous name combinations. One today made me laugh out loud:
CHRISTMAS-BELL
The engagement of Teresa Christmas to Daniel Bell, both of East Lansing, is announced. ..... She is the daughter of Carol and Wesley Christmas of DeWitt. ....
I *do* hope that they are planning a December wedding.

I love it, I love it! And Wesley's kinda appropriate too... didn't he write some (albeit dour) Christmas tunes?

<groan> I do hope they don't present their first-born with the name Carolyn Noel.

Welcome back, Aunt mav! I think they should name their first child Jingle, and the second, Ding-dong.

I once knew the Dressing family... their children were Blue Cheese and Turkey Ann. Yes, really.

I've only seen something as silly as Blue Cheese in vanity plates.
the Selzter's had two cars, two vanity plates-- ALKA and BROMO
Alka selzer and Bromo selzer are US brands of antacids

One of the local alternative newspapers last week published a picture with no caption. (Two pictures, actually). They were so eloquent about the wisdom of the city bureaucrats that they needed no words. The first picture showed about half a block of a downtown street, no cars or traffic, a fireplug near the curb in the foreground. The second was a close-up of the area with the fireplug so you could see, if you hadn't noticed it in the other view, that there is a parking meter right alongside the fireplug.

I suppose the chilluns should be grateful that Mom and Pop stopped short of "Ranch" and "1000 Islands" ... although they might be preferable, I suppose.
