Dumb article, as I linked elsewhere, but:

Brown Bino, 25, a cab dispatcher, was walking through Astoria Park near his home on Monday with his 3-year-old son, a smiling boy introduced as Little Brown Bino.

Sanford Dickert, a person quoted in this article: http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/10/obamas-secret-w.html#more

some dude, Thursday, 30 October 2008 19:00 (fifteen years ago) link

My current display name is from a criminal case I just read which also involved one Constable Ginochio (I mean he actually was a constable -- it wasn't his first name -- but still funny)

Albert Jeans (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 11 November 2008 01:26 (fifteen years ago) link

Sanford Dickert sounds like a popcorn thriller novel character.

People continue to laugh at my name. My new housemates referred to me by first and last name for the first few days I lived here (sometimes they still do), and my new bosses apparently enjoy telling people they hired someone with my name. It's not THAT exciting a name, but maybe I'm just used to it.

Maria, Tuesday, 11 November 2008 01:59 (fifteen years ago) link

Okay okay, I know a man named

TUBALCA1N SEARS!

His surname bcz his granddad lived near a Sears. !!!

My workmate's Cambodian, his name's Sopheap. Thats pretty cool.

Trayce, Tuesday, 11 November 2008 02:43 (fifteen years ago) link

Oh yeah, there was speculation that the parties in a case I just read might have been Cambodian --

and what, Wednesday, 12 November 2008 18:41 (fifteen years ago) link

Hoseen Ali
Jesus Jimenez

I don't get either of these -- they seem like common names. Am I missing a pun somewhere?

nabisco, Wednesday, 12 November 2008 18:45 (fifteen years ago) link

First I think because its reminiscent of a certain ilxor screenname?

Manchego Bay (G00blar), Wednesday, 12 November 2008 18:54 (fifteen years ago) link

yeah that one was because of HOOS. the other I just liked the alliteration and the way it sounded in my head.

The stic.man from the hilarious 'Dead Prez' albums (some dude), Wednesday, 12 November 2008 19:26 (fifteen years ago) link

A YouTube video of the fight showed Brotemarkle slamming two girls on the ground and handcuffing them. One of the girls, Hickman sophomore Diamond Thrower, had not been involved in the fight but had been trying to break it up when Brotemarkle grabbed her.

A while ago I handled the papers of D3vanshu D1ksh1t.

Tuomas, Thursday, 13 November 2008 10:11 (fifteen years ago) link

And I thought Sim Sisamouth had an unusually rad name when it turns out he's just from the land of great names. (Is there a reason Cambodian names often seem to be alliterative?)

Marshall Breeding invites you to read about library automation technologiezzz. Dude came to speak here recently but I missed it, being too busy banging my head against the brick wall of elderly library technology to learn about the future. Great name, though!

Jock Stirrup
I used to work with a dude called Dickon R. Love. He's a bellringer.

WoW... An Online RPG Funeral Gets Ambushed (gnarly sceptre), Thursday, 13 November 2008 12:22 (fifteen years ago) link

Jock Stirrup is not real. No way.

Not posting my last name on ILX (it will define me forever if I do!), but I was cursing it yesterday. I met with the director of a graduate program I'm applying to, and he actually remembered my name from two years ago when I applied to his field school and got turned down. CURSES!

One of the angry souls is Dr. Festus Dada, a Nigerian-born gastric bypass specialist, who filed a fraud/breach of contract suit and alleges Dykstra kept a $500,000 deposit after a deal fell apart to purchase a Southern California car wash and retail center then owned by Dykstra.

That Dykstra article was a doozy. Sounds like a sociopath.

Went to a christening on the weekend at a church that gets down with the kids with "new", allegedly "funky" music. Saw that a couple of the songs played were credited to a Dottie Rambo. Thought I had misread, but she's real: www.dottierambo.net
