I had a friend ... an RN and assistant director of nursing at the largest public hospital in Chicago ...  named Charity Ward.  

Sometimes when calls came in asking for Charity Ward, some telephone operators who didn't know who she was, would  reply ... "the wards are ALL charity ... we don't  charge."

I was a dental hygienist before I retired. For a while, I worked as a federal employee on a military base. There was a Dr. Blood in our clinic.

I had a student from South Korea once and his name was Hung Dong.

True story – but I’m not sure this post will make it past the censors.  I worked in Silicon Valley and many of the Asian employees adopted Americanized first names.  One of my coworkers, Hung Dong, preferred to go by “Peter.”

When he and a group of other new employees showed up for their first day on the job, one of the engineers innocently asked him, “Are you Hung?”  Once the words left his mouth, the look on his face was one of horror.

The other engineers never let him forget it.

I worked with a lady who went by the name Mary because her given name was actually Meow... and she found it easier with less snickering or questions than to answer a phone call saying "This is Meow"

When I visited a friend in Taiwan, we visited for a couple days a friend of hers. Her friend's name was Miao...pronounced "meow."
