  • Cool Last names.

    Any one with funny or weird or cool last names? If you don't want to share your last names it's perfectly understandable, by all means you don't have too. My last name is Littlejohn. Here's the story: My granpa on my fathers side was adopted into that name his real last name I think is keiko'oha(I hope I spelled that right.) My Dad joke's that it come's from John Little in Robin Hood. I don't know if I should believe that fairy tale, but I do know it come's from Europe. Most of the time I am asked if it's an Indian last name. NO. But the Littlejohn familly were one of the first pilgrims to settle the United states, or so I think I remember some where in a history book. Since I am big boned some people like to tease me and call me "BIGJOHN!" I think that it's funny, and I laugh along with the joke but sometime's people whom I meet just don't believe me when I tell them my last name. Oh well so there you have it.

    Thanks for sharing. Darn, so you don't know the rain-dance then? Well I'm a Ruddy, so growing up there were the various combinations of... Cruddy, Buddy, Duddy, etc.. The name is Irish. Over the years there has always only been my folks and occasionally one other in the phonebook. That makes it rare, in Hawai'i anyway. In my Webster's dictionary, the definition goes like this... 1) having a fresh, healthy red color. or 2) British Slang. "Damned": A ruddy fool. Geez! There are also Ruddy Ducks and Turnstones(small sea birds). So all in all alittle different, eh?

        I used to date a girl with the last name "Outlaw". She was part Scotish and told me it came from a Clan war. If you were on one side you were "Outlaws" and the other were "Inlaws". How much truth is in there I dont know, but ya gotta admit a name like that is hella cool!

          Well let's extend the topic a little too not just your last names but also other last names that you think is cool or weird wether it be a relative a neighbor a friend or person you met. Babooze that last name outlaw is the coolest last name I have ever heard before, and Craig that last name Tung Long is sort of funny but also cool. I could imagin just how much ribbing she must have got from others. Oh I know the feeling.

            There were some really cruel parents in Boston who named their kid Alison Wonderland (that was their real surname). And somewhere in this country is a Dr. Peter Rabbitt who had a subscription to a British medical journal (I worked in the circulation/customer service dept. so I would see all kinds of weird/funny names).

              From a December 2000 HonAdv article by Lee Cataluna...

              Maui people have great names, like the legendary Silva brothers, Sterling, Quick and HiHo. (Yes, they’re for real).

              In the category of "great names to say out loud" there’s Don Tarantaran, Memerto Baliquat, Charity Kanetoku and perhaps my all-time favorite, Pua Ting.

                God.
                That was the name that Grace Slick of the "Jefferson Airplane" gave to her baby... who had it legally changed as a teenager. Probably got a lot of grief as a kid, though.

                That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

                    I knew a brother and sister, Tom and Kitty, whose family name was Cattoi (pronounced cat-toy.)

                    The principal of my mother's high school was Augustus Harold Rump, and he enjoyed making a joke at his own expense --- he signed his name as "A. Harry Rump."

                        Over at Clear Channel on Iwilei Street one of the sales guys is named Richard Raasche (I think that's the spelling)...he goes by the name Dick and yes he knows it.

                        At Home Depot in Hilo there are two cashiers named: Melody and Harmony
