Oh I have a few good ones. I am afraid I will get slapped by the moderators but you asked. Yes my hubby's first wrestling coach was named Harry Butz. We have Candy Kane in the area. Know an Emma Royds. Dated a guy named Richard King...you can take it from there.

I almost forgot about myself! I'm 5'10" and very European-looking. Based on looks people tend to think I'm Greek or Jewish. Well I took my husband's last name which happens to be Asian. It is always throwing people off at doctors' offices, DMV, etc.
But the funniest was a woman who was trying to find me at our large church. Since we only talked over the phone, she went up to every Asian-looking woman in the place asking, "Are you Hanna Chang?" "Are you Hanna Chang?" Not my real last name, but you get the point.
