In high school, I knew a kid named Scott Scott. Years after Marilyn Manson became famous, I met at my company picnic a real Marilyn Manson, the girlfriend of one of my coworkers. I don't know if that's truly funny, but it's weird I would know someone who had that name for real. I worked with a lady named Shannon Cannon as well. That's not to be confused with the stripper I knew of whom they talked about Shannon's Cannons.
Strangest one I ever ran into was my Accounting 501 professor who was of Lebanese extraction. His name was Joseph Joseph Joseph ..... wait for it ... Junior.
How about Kathy Greathead?
I knew an undertaker named Mr. Bury.
Or a Minister named Rector Rector
When I was a teacher I had a small class which included David Broccoli, Claire Cabbage, and Richard Garden.
Growing up I knew Kathy Outhouse who came from a large family of outhouses.
Another was Ophelia Legg who had 4 sisters. Her father once said to me that he had five daughters: all blossoms, no stems.
This one I never knew and can't verify the truth, but allegedly there's a Richard Hertz who lives in Holden, MA. Dick Hertz from Holden? Really?

Sofia Vergara-Verga is Spanish for dick. La Gara is Spanish for The Rag.

I also knew a Thomas Thomas, although he preferred Tom, many years ago at my old delivery job.
A real place.
"Balls" for those of you who don't speak Spanish.
