The dash is NOT silent…

List of cool/strange first and last names (you guess which is which):

Note: I started this list months ago, and I haven’t come across any new ones, so here are my “top three”.

La-sha:  The dash is NOT silent. Go ahead, say it out loud.

Vanderslice:  I just KNOW there’s a dirty joke in there somewhere. Actually, any name that begins with Van-der is gonna be a good one. Van-der must mean something in German, or something. Little help, readers(or reader, as it were)?

I like this one too:  Van Hoek, or Dr. Van Hoek to be precise.  Wasn’t than Ren’s last name from Ren & Stimpy?  It just sounds made-up to me.
