I found out that the headlining act for the BBQ Festival this year is going to be Smash Mouth. PLEASE let the main stage be at the other end of downtown where I won't have to hear them reverberating through my walls!
Mal: I call you back? Wash: No, Mal. You didn't. Zoe: I take full responsibility, cap.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hey there, Matt, you're a rock star....

Many years ago, I made a list of the odd names that came through the Beth Israel Ambulatory Billing where I was a file clerk. The only one that I can remember is Dr Jesus Viola.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelines all!
The only odd name I can think of (and it's more of a "what were her parents thinking" than anything else) is a former fellow in my lab named Charity Scripture.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I went to school with an April Showers.

I knew a kid called Rob Banks. I don't know why his parents didn't figure that out.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh gosh, that reminds me of a boy in my high school, named Timothy Estes. First day of school, they labeled our assigned lockers with our first initial and last name. He never lived it down.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Dean of a local college had the last name of Apple. Thought nothing of Dean Apple. Then his wife had twin daughters, Candace Ann and Cara Melanie. Yup, Candy and Caramel.

Our wings are not tired.
I recently was reminiscing with a middle aged friend of my family who fortunately ended up being named Matt Ball. Prior to his birth his parents, another couple, and my boyfriend and I had a very stoned conversation about potential names. His Dad had only one request; he refused to have him named after his Uncle Harry. That started the cascade of potential awful names. Foot and Base of course, Roland and Earnest were also rejected, along with a slew of others. We thought his mother would deliver on the spot she was laughing so hard. Matt did say that if he ever had a sister she would have been named Crystal because she liked that option so much.
If I had a daughter she would have been named Victoria Holt. When I changed my name in marriage I knew that was going to be an option and would have done it.
Worst name inflicted on a friend in HS was Candy Cane. I'm guessing she changed it if she married, but not exactly the kind of name I could Google to find out.

There's a former Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador named Randy Ball.
A friend met a woman in the Southern US named Happy Boozer.
Weird names from my family: Expedite Howard, and Prime Power (one of my great-grandfathers).
My other great-grandfather was Prosper Ozon, but I think Prosper isn't intensely unusual in France. What's weird is I once found a self-published novel online where the main character's name was Prosper Ozone.
