Another name situation

My DH has a reversible name: his last name can be a first name his first name can be a last name. In fact, we got some junk mail from a realtor a couple of weeks ago addressed to Mr. & Mrs. DH First Name -- I assume they pulled the names off the tax records but didn't pay attention to the proper order. DH and I had a laugh about it.

Yesterday DH comes home and says "Guess what I found out today? There's a [DH last name][DH first name] now working at the shipyard." Yep, there is a person with DH's reversed name now working at the same facility...and DH is starting to get his mail. Confused

I guess the moral of the story is, if you have a last name that's also a first name, it's better to give your child a first name that can't also be a last name.

Re: Another name situation

  • Oh man that must be annoying - how odd that there's a guy with the same name reversed at his work!  I've had a few patients with names like that, and it's so confusing...their records were always completely messed up.  Your poor hubs  :o/

  • hopefully the shipyard learns the importance of a comma when the LN is listed first.

    that's strange.

    I think you're vastly overestimating the intelligence and/or common sense of many of the shipyard employees.

    Another example: someone signed DH up for a training class one day this week that was relevant to the job he left six months ago. But since he was signed up, he had to go. I can't make this stuff up.
