Anyone else see the article on MSN?

"What would compel a parent to bestow a newborn with a name like “Tiny Hooker” or “Fanny Large”? Or an amusing choice like “Wanna Towell"? It’s not just Hollywood’s elite opting for unique, embarrassing names—throughout history, normal people separated their offspring from the masses with truly terrible names."

I saw in the cemetary by my former university the name Fanny Seamens and it made me laugh. I tell people about it all the time if they know the town, but most don't get the full extent of the hilarious-ness because they see "fanny" as meaning "butt" but I know in Australia it really means "vagina".

I refuse to see any Shannon Sossman movies in protest.

My two favorites were Emma Royd and Lust T. Castle. Pickle Parker sounds like a fictional private detective.
