I wish my name was...

Every once in a while I'll hear a person's name that sounds funny or weird or cool or so weird that it's cool. I'll say to my wife or co-worker "Man, I wish my name was _____." Well, tonight I heard a new one that I like. If it didn't already belong to a Redskins player I'd wish my name was - Buck Ortega.

I've always wanted to change my name to Dicky Cochenbaugh,thats pronounced Cock-n-ball.
There was a jazz guitarist named Sonny Sharock, I always thought that was a good one.

I wish my name was Maximus. It would be a lot to live up to, but maybe a bit of a challenge too.
