    "Stave-call is junior," means that the effort to ward off the event
    was executed with minimum enthusiasm.  I _hate_ to have to explain
    them.
    
    How about:
    
    Arie Ahh             (great in the opera house)   
    Arie Plane                                               
    Arie Izz             (once he's located)
    Arie Serious
    Arie Kidding
    
    Enough ...
    

    There is a man from my home town named Otto Horn. Sadly, his son
    is also named Otto Horn.

    I once knew a reporter named Peter Abbott
    

    Is this a bad Bond movie (Pussie Galore, Goodnight, et al.) or a Mel
    Brooks movie (Engulf and Devour, Yogurt (he had culture), etc.)
    
    Or maybe submitt them for consideration.....

    Thorne Smith, a marvelous "roaring 20s" author, used to write what
    were called "slightly risque" novels.
    
    One of his heroines was named Honor Knightly.
    

    My father occasionally repaired the car of a man named Les Gotobed.

    I remember getting highly embarrassed in a supermarket when I went
    to the customer service desk on hearing -
    
    "Would Paul Amann please contact customer services - Customer call,
    woul Paul Amann please contact customer services"
    
    I said to the lady behind the counter why they had tannoyed me,
    and she collapsed in laughter.  Five minutes later I finally determined
    that she was trying to call for a  Paula Mann

    How about the couple who owned a diner named after themselves ?
    They wondered why they didn't get any business.

    There _is_ a diner of almost that name on North Carolina's

    I heard this one on the radio the other day -- apparently the
    station I was listening to (not my usual) has a deejay named Jane
    Doody.  The station's sports announcer used to work with Curt
    Gowdie.  The announcer wished Jane would marry one of the Gowdie
    sons and become Jane Gowdie Doodie.

    Here are two characters for your next novel (if you write one - ha ha,
    just kidding!):
    
    Mrs. Olemnis, a widow who befriended Beethoven
    
    Mr. Biamyle, a violent inept man
    
    Please send me money for these characters.  If you would like more
    characters, please send me more money.  (I have 30 band names as well,
    if you have any acquaintances who are starting a band.)

Most Rowbottom's I ever met spelled it Rowbotham, but then I've also met
someone called Sidebottom pronounced Sid-ee-baw-toom !?

Re: .23

>> Most Rowbottom's I ever met spelled it Rowbotham,

	You may well be right. When old Alisdair Burnett announced the
	report I was to busy laughing to read the name at the bottom 
	of the screen.  I bet he got a lot of stick at school with a 
	name like that!

	Alan Midona

	(Yes I did get a lot of stick at school with a name like that!)

    Well, I have yet to meet someone who hasn't either queried my name,
    or it's spelling or failed to bring up some joke or other regarding
    it.

    How about a situation where your secretary's name is Kay. You trot
    over to her office and find she's not there. In her place is
    another girl. You ask to see Kay and the girl tells you she ent
    to lunch. you say "Ok", and leave. You get about 5 feet away and
    think, 'why don't I leave a message', so you turn to the girl and
    say...............
    
    "If you see Kay" tell her I'm looking for her.

    Sandy Balls is a holiday caravan park in the New Forest at Godshill,

The ABC (our ABC, the Australian Broadcasting Commision) had, at one stage,
the punniest group of sports announcers ...

Dick Lewers (fishing)
xxxx Green (Lawn bowls)
Tim Lane (various)
...

It seemed that to get a job in thje sports department, that either you needed
a punny name, or a spooch impodimont.

    From Hofstadter:
    
    
    Eve Rybody  
    Ann Yone

    ... so I picked this one at semi-random.
    
    Couldn't help noticing on NPR this morning a quotation from a professor
    of environmental science (at Boston University methinks) named, and I'm
    not sure of the spelling, Dr. Ozonoff.
