I have heard of a woman who named her 2 boys "Lemonjello" and "Orangejello" They were pronounced as "LeMaunGelo" (like Michaelangelo, but "Le Maun") and O-RonGelo. . . Apparently the mother saw the Jell-o boxes in her cupboard, and got the idea of naming her boys that.

A woman walks into the downtown welfare office, trailed by 15 kids...
"WOW," the social worker exclaims, "Are they ALL YOURS???"
"Yep they are all mine," the flustered momma sighs, having heard that question a thousand times before She says, "Sit down Leroy." All the children rush to find seats.
"Well," says the social worker, then you must be here to sign up."
"I'll need all your children's names."
"This one's my oldest--he is Leroy."
"OK, and who's next?"
"Well, this one he is Leroy, also." The social worker raises an eyebrow but continues. One by one, through the oldest four, all boys, all named Leroy. Then she is introduced to the eldest girl, named Leighroy!
"All right...," says the caseworker, "I'm seeing a pattern here...Are they ALL named Leroy?"
Their Momma replied, "Well, yes--it makes it easier. When it is time to get them out of bed and ready for school, I yell, 'Leroy!' An' when it's time for dinner, I just yell 'Leroy!' an' they all comes arunnin.'
An 'if I need to stop the kid who's running into the street, I just yell 'Leroy' and all of them stop. It's the smartest idea I ever had, namin' them all Leroy."
The social worker thinks this over for a bit, then wrinkles her forehead and says tentatively, "But what if you just want ONE kid to come, and not the whole bunch?"
"I call them by their last names."

Re: Mistaken guest genders. . .
I do not know if this really fits in this thread but it is kind of related. I was working as a greeter at Ariel's grotto and a couple was complaining about the length of the line to meet Ariel. A random guest overheard the conversation walked up put his hand on my shoulder and said to us. "I bet that if they put you (me) in the costume, that the line would be much shorter." I am a guy by the way and we all laughed as I turned red and said yup you would be able to walk right in.

Re: Mistaken guest genders. . .
OMG! I ate at BOMA my last night at WDW a couple of weeks ago and there was a guest sitting at the table next to us who was called "The Tiger Man". This person had reconstructive surgery to transform themselves into a human tiger! Tattoos all over the body with Tiget markings and stripes which covered their face which also had the feline upper lip pooks with whisker implants. Feline eye contacts, long finger nails. Everything but a tail! (At least, I couldn't discern one!) I recognised the guest from several documentaries on A&E about sideshows and freakshows and really was amazed to see them so upclose and in WDW at that!
This guest really spooked everyone out in the restaraunt including the CM's which some of them really lost their cool over I might add. Understandably so. The guest took the creamer from the table and began to lap it up like a cat! When this guest spoke, their voice was decidedly low and basso like a large and out of shape male might sound. but this person had female breasts! (I quipped that shouldn't there be 6 more of them?) I tried to get a couple of shots but it was too dark.
However, the very next day I enjoyed Animal Kingdom as my last hour or two before dashing to the airport for my sad trip home, when there in Asia was...yup...Tigerperson! I noticed that the whiskers where gone and in their place were silver metal pointed studs instead which made the whole experience even more surreal! I wasted no time telling the friend I was with that I simply had to get a couple of shots! I took a couple as the guest stood inline for a drink, then braved approaching and saying "Excuse me. You look fantastic! Would you mind allowing me a photograph?" The guest couldn't have been more polite and gracious and I did indeed get a closeup shot of what has to be one of the more unique animals in all AK!
I'm not sure if my uploading a shot will work, but if it does...it's Tigerperson in AK.
