text: what's the lamest name of a person you've heard of?   there was a politician in the 1970s named larry derryberry. it used to make me laugh. oh, and two guys i went to school with:  one was named tad ladd, the other was billy tilley. and then there was perry phair. i guess i've known a lot of people with interesting names.  oh! and i almost forgot that when i was a copy editor at a small-town newspaper here in maine, we would list divorces. one of the divorce announcements said the couple shared custody of two minor children, fresca and sprite!
