In South Africa, a very common Afrikaans (Dutch) surname is Nel.

There was an Andre Nel on the South African cricket team.

Read: A. Nel

At first I wrote "his parents suck ass" but then when doing mandatory re-read before post, I decided I would remove ass, and see if anyone clicked.

And thanks design219, first time I can remember anyone giving me props on the 'NN forums!

Aurora Borealis Freestone Concannon
This is the one instance where I think Moon Unit Zappa is a better name.

Anyone know Jason Lee, from My Name is Earl?

Lee and his ex-fiancée Beth Riesgraf (who appeared on an episode on My Name Is Earl called "Faked His Own Death") have a son named Pilot Inspektor Riesgraf Lee
Pilot Inspektor Riesgraf Lee

True story. As a lowly 3rd year medical student ages ago, I saw a young woman in the inner city hospital I worked in who planned on naming her soon to be born daughter Syphilis. She said she heard her friends talking about it and thought it sounded pretty.

Guess who got to tell her what it meant. You got it.
Perhaps she shouldn't have been having sex.

I was in the Orange County Greyhound bus station waiting for a friend to pick me up. I overheard a conversation:

Old lady: I see you're pregnant.
Girl: Yeah, my second.
Old lady: Who are you waiting for?
Girl: My boyfriend.
Old lady: Yeah, me too. He just got out of prison today. So how's the pregnancy?
Girl: OK. My first labour was tough so I'm smoking more this time cuz it will supposedly make the baby smaller.

The even scarier part was the old lady accepted didn't even blink an eye, and seemed to actually agree with her.

I don't understand that reference. Google tells me there is a TV show by that name, but I have never seen it.

It's a tv show where the conversation you quoted would have been an outlandish and shockingly humorous conversation, that fit in with the rest of their material.

As opposed to in real life, where it's just depressing.

The young lass that I offered up other name to was located in Philadelphia.

BTW, she had a beautiful baby named Gonorrhea.

Never give your real name while robbing a bank. Or other location, for that matter. Which gives the OP an obvious answer to his question.

"I'm sorry officer, I don't want to give my real name because I don't want them to catch me."

I used to work with a guy whose last name is Hamburger. He married a woman named Eva Lichter. And yes, she hyphenated her last name.
