Shakespeare wrote: "What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet." Whether you agree depends on many factors. For example:
1. Meet Virginia ob-gyn Dr. Harry Beaver.
2. God help former Detroit Tiger Rusty Kuntz.
3. Vote for Michael 'put an X in the box' Cox!

4. Elect 'a man of faith' for Congress. Elect John Manlove?
5. Hopefully former Texas Governor James Stephen Hogg's daughter Ima, Ms. Ima Hogg, had a sense of humor.

6. Unfortunately, Robin, you can't really blame your parents.

7. Apparently Shanda Lear, daughter of Lear Jet founder Bill Lear, had a grandfather who thought (check out the PS) "everyone would laugh when they realized that [the] name, Shanda Lear, sounded like the light-fixture...ah...one swings from." Nice.
8. Proving that a funny name is just that, just a name, Sheriff Gay proved Shakespeare correct: he won.

9. Urologist Dr. Dick Chopp is "well known in the Austin community for performing Vasectomies." Ouch.
10. A vote for Balls and Cox is a vote for [insert here].

11. A difficult choice for voters for Mayor of the Village of Winthrop Harbor: Gene Swindle or Joe Leech.

Can't believe Dr. Benjamin Dover isn't on this list. He's a proctologist or something similar out of orange county/los angeles. look him up!

There's a Realtor in Phoenix, AZ called Gary Swallows. He runs advertisements in the movie theatres, and everyone chuckles when they see his name in big letters...
