I went to college with a woman named Spring Starr Pillow. She was a theatre major, so I want to believe it was a stage name. (She lives in Cincinnati now, and is the director of a children's theatre, and is known as a "local night club diva," and still goes by that name, so maybe it's her birth name. Who knows?)

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
That's what YOU say!!!
The world generalizes to MY experience, so yes.

do you pronounce the name LEE-roy or Luh-ROY?
Depends on if the "r" is capitalized, Leroy or LeRoy.
At least, that's how I go.
(Leroy=LEE-roy, LeRoy=Luh-ROY)
I default to LEE-roy.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I knew a "Pebble" in college.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Did she have a brother named "Bam"?

LEE-roy.
Guys who said, "Yeah, I was just talkin' to Skeeter last week," had known him since high school,
My dad is Skip to his family, so you can always tell if it's one of them calling.

I think Rob Morrow's wife also has a pun name -- Debbon Ayer or something like that -- so it's a family thing. But still, Deb or Debbie are at least passable nicknames, whereas there's really nowhere to go from Tu.
I went to elementary school with a female Mikel, and I don't remember her being teased about her name. But she was rich, pretty and athletic; I'm not sure how kids would have reacted to it if she'd been poor, homely and a klutz.
And welcome to the world to Isaac, with congrats to Burrell, Mr. Burrell and Franny.

So did I, but she was MIH-kel, not pronounced like Michael.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Katie, I was waiting for someone to say it! But nobody did! What's wrong with these people?
Loved that Rob & Amber got knocked back to third place by Rob's big fat mouth. 'Cause that's just funny. Want Joyce & Uchenna to WIN!
I've knew a few girls named Michael growing up. Most of them went by Micky. Didn't seem to cause them any problems. (Or at least, no more than my apparently unspellable last name did. It was always much more a problem for the teachers to deal with than the students.)
