That had to be on purpose.

"Sweety, your surname is Balls so I though..."
"Dick, we'll call him Dick."
"Yes! Perfect!"
"Awesome."

Relationship goals.

Yeah I guess so. With a name like he's advertising every time he introduces himself. I say it takes confidence to have to introduce yourself with a straight face and say hi I'm Dick Balls.

I went to school with kids with quite a few of the names mentioned so far, including Hull, Ball, Hooker, Kok, Hoar.

There was a ballplayer named Rusty Kuntz, and Chuck Fick, who has an unfortunate spoonerism. And Stubby Clapp. You can even make something of superstar Randy Johnson, if you have a mind to.

Was she hard or more of a soft kind of teacher?

There's this former football(soccer) player from Brazil, now a coach called Argel ****s (Ducks with f instead of d, city data banned this word).

It's a German surname by the way.

I've known two people whose names always made me chuckle - Clay Snow and Glowdean Fairabee.

In middle school, we had a teacher with a Russian surname, Nikulina, which translated into Estonian would mean 'fukkcloth'. We were very silly.
