No, you do not have the best name. (http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=5)
Or maybe it is this guy. (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/09/27/iraq/main575441.shtml)

I laugh every time I watch WBZ News and Joe Shortsleeve is giving a report.

I actually have the best name though.
-
In before Humperdinck.
-
Yours is pretty good but I think Sam has you beat. Sorry Kieffer.
-
Nope, guess again.
-
Wait, what's Sam's last name? Cuz Keiffer Katz is pretty badass, like a character in an awesome novel. (I'm probably projecting a bit there with the Katz since it sounds like Gatz like Jimmy Gatz like James Gatsby)
-
Sam was born SAMUEL MACINTOSH APPLE.*
It is the Best Name.
*Some claims in this post may not be entirely true.
-
Nope, guess again.
-
I like my name. It's short and sweet and every time someone sees me they use it, first and last name.
-
Shit, you've never seemed to have a problem with people knowing your name. Post duly edited. Sorry Sam!
-
My mom worked with a lady named Candy Cane. She was not, in fact, a stripper.
-
My dad worked with a guy called John Rambo. I kid you not.
-
My mom worked with a man named Ice Man. He worked in IT
-
The father of one of my friend's back in Egypt was Richard Handler. :-D
-
At dinner last night we were discussing horrible names. I would only name a son of mine Richard Benjamin Dover out of spite.
-
One of my friends is planning on calling her son Oberon.
I on the other hand have the family name of "weedall" I think I qualify for a bad name.
-

The problem is you won't know if you hate the kid until it's too late!
-
The best name ever is Thunderbolt Burgameister.
-
Or maybe it is this guy. (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/09/27/iraq/main575441.shtml)

I want an action figure of the dude on the left there.
-
i know a chris martin who is actually an incredibly cool guy and very talented musician and always, always gets asked by people he first meets if he likes coldplay. he fucking hates coldplay. it's kind of like the tragic situation with michael bolton from office space. that would probably be a case of "worst name" more than "best name".
-
i also like the name 'magnús ver magnússon' if mostly because it is a ridiculously appropriate name for a man who four times has held the title of strongest man in the world (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magn%C3%BAs_Ver_Magn%C3%BAsson).
-
I contend that the name Keiffer Katz is hilarious but deserves little mention beyond that fact.
-
More like Queefer Shatz.

My uncle's name is Richard Glover. It wasn't until last year that I actually realised how funny that name is, so now I giggle whenever I mention him.
-
After reading the last few pages of the Twilight thread, I now have infinite sympathy for anyone called Edward.
Infinite.

THIS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Assman) IS A HOMEBOY! (http://achewood.com/index.php?date=02212007)
-
Boatrite.
Oh wait, I just remembered about a guy I checked into the hotel. His last name: Mr. Raper; He had a family. They were a family of Rapers.
-
I think I have a pretty sweet name.
Throughout my life, I've also known a Coyote, a Thursday, and a Lazuraus. Also a Peter Pan.
-
The best name I ever saw was Caleb Womble. He was in the credits of a terrible T.V. show that I was watching several years ago, but I'm not going to tell you which one because it is my secret shame.
-
You are all, of course, simply wrong. Observe! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_blues_musicians
My personal favourite being Huddie William "Lead Belly" Ledbetter

The dude turned this:
Black Betty's in the bottom,
I can hear her roar,
She's bringing some po sucker,
With an achin soul.
She'll bring you here and leave you,
Let your hammer ring,
For a hundred summers,
Let your hammer ring.
Black Betty's got a baby,
Let your hammer ring,
Damn thing's gone crazy,
Let your hammer ring,
Dipped its head in gravy,
Let your hammer ring.
into this:
Woah, Black Betty
bam-ba-lam
Woah, Black Betty
bam-ba-lam
Black Betty had a child
bam-ba-lam
Black Betty had a child

Damn thing gone wild

October Road (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0756573/)?
He also did work on Dawson's Creek.

when i worked at a call center last year i called and spoke to someone named mr. gubbles. he was a farmer. i had been talking to someone right before he picked up the phone so i didn't see his name on the computer screen and had absolutely no time to mentally prepare to deal with his ridiculous name. he was a very serious man. by the end of the call tears were literally streaming down my face because i was trying so hard not to laugh or do anything stupid every time i said his name. can you say "mr. gubbles" out loud without laughing? it's really hard.
-
I do not have the best name, although I think my last name is pretty great.
Anyway, here are a few fairly popular names for boys in Norway:
Bård (pronounced "bored")
Simen (guess what this sounds like)
Odd (needs no further explanation)
So guys, whenever you think your name isn't that great please think about these guys. There are actually quite a few of them over here.
-
If by "best" you mean "worst" here is a man that could claim the title.

Hmmm weird names are fun. I knew a black guy named Yourhighness Jackson. That is a weird name. I have a particularly long name, but i wont say it is the best name ever. But as a child, trying to spell your whole name, took me about an hour.
-
http://images.flm.fr/181008/12.jpg
i'm sort of thinking that maybe this guy pranked the reporter when he asked his name but still, amazing!
-
I knew a girl whose parents named her Randy (It could've been Randi I never saw it written down).
That's not bad until you realize her last name was Hussy.
Yep, her name is Randy Hussy.
-
there was another girl i met through a friend who was named morag dick. doesn't really mean anything but she was so pretty and cool and her weird ugly name was totally uncharacteristic of her. you'd think with already having "dick" for a last name, her parents would have tried to think of something a bit better than "morag".
-
There was a student in my class last semester named Morag (actually have her in a class this semester too.) I had no idea her name was Morag until halfway through the semester when I was reading some official form in class and was like "Morag? Who's that?" (she goes by a nickname)
-
I kind of like the name Morag. Maybe because it makes me think of Scotland.
-
Jan. Vennegoor. of. Hesselink.
Translated. Vennegoor OR Hesselink. YES. IT IS a take-your-pick lastname.

I remember seeing him play once. Specifically, I remember the tiny, tiny writing they had to use to fit his name on the back of his jersey.
-

Yeah, Giovanni van Bronckhorst went with "Gio" to make his shirt cheaper to buy for his fans. Jan apparantly doesn't care :-D
-
I've dated a few girls with awesome names, the best were Megan Power, Page Reid (pronounced read) and Storm Shield.
-
A friend of mine showed me his high school yearbook to prove that he wasn't kidding about this- a girl the year below him was named Tara Dichoff (pronounced dickoff)
-
I know 3 guys who all have names that sound like action movie characters of some form.
Johnny Payne
Joe Lightning
Nick Fury
-
There was a girl in one of my classes last year named Sarah Connor. She would have been born some time between the first and second movies.
-
How the fuck did I forget Miro Satan? Dammit.
re: Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink
I seem to remember playing FIFA 2006 or some such thing (05 maybe) and I guess EA did not at the time have tiny-letter technology. The name on his jersey in the game was "Vennegoor of H." And when he first signed with Celtic, I don't think they had tiny-letter technology, either. Behold the epic wraparound!

Man, I wish I could find a pic of this guy's jersey. I remember seeing it when he still played, it was amusing.

-
I reckon Tongans have the best names. Ipolito Fenukitau (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipolito_Fenukitau), for instance, or Fuifui Moimoi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fui_Fui_Moi_Moi).
-
My mom went to school with a Jekyll Ann Hyde. Apparently she loved it and went by Jekyll Ann so people would know the joke. You can find her all over the internet in sites talking about unusual names.
I also know a man who owns in a music store in my hometown named Ken Fette.
-
Rugby players hell yeah. Tana Umaga just SOUNDS like a scary dude.
-
Poor Chad K. has his own name story on these boards..
But not as bad as this (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6525475.stm).
Also, Norbert Wiener the physicist was recently mentioned in another thread but is never beyond repost.
-

That's true. Although my last name is, thankfully, not the same.
-
I fooled around/was best friends with an Joseph Edemeka Okon, his father's name was Marquis Okon and his brother's name was Alex Ambonisye Okon. His father considered their 'real' names to be their middle names so that's what he called them.
Nigerian families are the greatest

-
Storm Shield.
-

Two of my cousins were born in Africa.

I have a friend who dated a guy called Jack Toff.

There was a girl who used to live across the street from me named Candice Kane. People called her Candy.
-
Back when I worked in a call centre I had a list of the people with awesome names with whom I spoke. On this list were such gems as Nimrod Oz and Virgina Vasquez. There were also slightly amusing but pretty common names like Michael Jackson or Robert Smith but they didn't make me laugh like the others.
-

Man, I keep trying to do this and I just can't.
I cannot say Mr. Gubbles seriously.
It is the name for a goldfish.
-
Having played BioShock recently, all I can hear is a little girl's voice screaming "Kill him, Mr. Gubbles!"
-
Damn and I thought my name was cool
Basil-William Shahrokh Baradaran-Mozaffari
It fails in comparison though
