Excluding Jesse James Hollywood :crazy:

I vote for Wallace Thrasher.

Oh come on, the Wackers? ;)

For me, I'd have to say ....(wait for it...)

"Jet Taylor"

(Crystal Spencer's neighbor)


That's the kinda name you say while dramatically moving your head sideways, looking into an imaginary camera and raising an eyebrow

and I know some of you are trying it even now!

;)

Richard Bocklage is a block in a cage.

Liz Carmichael

Yeah, I like the name Wallace Thrasher, haha. His last name's "Thrasher"!

I just saw that segment recently, but can't remember anything about it except for his name and that he was a criminal. What was the case about in which he was mentioned?

Anyway, that sounds like the name of a villain in a big blockbuster movie: the name's Thrasher, Wallace Thrasher.

Easy. Dennis Depue's Texas alias: Hank Queen.

Wadada. Enough said.

Wadada. Enough said.

and the way his victim Sarah Beard said it "WAAADADAAAAAAA"

Michael Rosenblum was a cool name. Hank Queen is probably one of the stupidist aliases I have ever heard of but certainly one of the best on UM.

Oh, come on! How has nobody brought up Dub Wackerhagen? What's a "Dub"? Is that short for something? Duberson? Dubwyn?

How about J.D. Method. He had his own methods, that's for sure. And that actor was one of a kind.

For me, I'd have to say ....(wait for it...)

"Jet Taylor"

(Crystal Spencer's neighbor)


That's the kinda name you say while dramatically moving your head sideways, looking into an imaginary camera and raising an eyebrow

He was enough of an idiot that his name suits him.

1. Kurt McFall - A name that is filled with a lot of irony considering his possible fate.

2. Ralph Probst.

3. Rogest Cain-

4. Wheeler--seems like a popular last name for people.

5. Bob Bean - if ever a name matched a person...

6. Melvin Luther Wilson- with a name like that your either a robber or a presidential assassin. :D

7. DB Cooper.

3. Rogest Cain-


Oh yeah! After viewing the segment for the first time in ages, I've found myself walking around town muttering "Rogest???" to myself. Hopefully nobody has overheard!:crazy:

Dub Whackerhagen takes the cake. Such a strange yet funny name.

Oh, come on! How has nobody brought up Dub Wackerhagen? What's a "Dub"? Is that short for something? Duberson? Dubwyn?


Dub Wackerhagen's full name is Lee Herman Wackerhagen, Jr. Dub is probably short for "Dubya", the Texas pronounciation the letter "W", which would be short for his last name.

Charli-Ann

I always thought Gord McAllister was a cool name

Maybe its because I felt so bad for Gord that I never forgot his name

:(

I've always thought that Perman Gilbert was an unusual name...I've never heard of anyone else named Perman.

What about the ones that nobody can spell: Stanley Greizyc (sp?) and Su Taraskowitz (sp?)

I swear someone's name was Peter Piper.

Daizien Hossencofft. (real name Armand Chavez) Weird lookin dude who lived on Moon Street (kind of an unusual street name).

Was he ever profiled on UM for the suspected murder of his beautiful wife, Girly Chew Hossencofft? Seems like the murder weapon may have been some kind of a japanese ninja sword.

At his accomplice's trial, he testified that he was a shape shifter who was capable of being in two places at one time. He also claimed to have created his son in a test tube, himself. Lots of other weird details to this case, too, beyond just the odd names of the accused and victim.

Oba Chandler. Not really too odd of a name, but kinda rare. I don't think I've ever run across anyone named "Oba" before...

Mahfuz Huq. Probably not such a rare name in his country of origin, but kind of unusual sounding to the ears of a 1980s american audience.

Stryder Starfyre. Real name, Daniel Clement Chafe.

Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, known as Christopher Chichester when John and Linda Sohus went missing, and also sported the alias Clark Rockefeller.

Gabriel "Carrhotic" Carillo. Supposedly Carrhotic is an ancient celtic name that this guy adopted as his religious identification.

Was he ever profiled on UM for the suspected murder of his beautiful wife, Girly Chew Hossencofft? Seems like the murder weapon may have been some kind of a japanese ninja sword.



I always wondered if Daizien and Girly Chew were brought together by eHarmony based on the dimentions of compatibility of their wierd names! Honestly--"Girly Chew"? That can't be a birthname! It sounds more like a brand of snuff endorsed by Hannibal Lecter.

Joseph Prushanowski's name has a musical ring to it. It's the perfect name for that man.

This case was never on UM, but has been featured on AMW a bunch of times since about 1991. A foreigner living in the U.S. was on the run for a hit and run which cost several teenagers their lives. His name is Sarkis Peltakian. I would absolutely love to see his excuse once captured somewhere in Armenia: "No, no! I am innocent! You must have me confused with another Sarkis Peltakian!".

Wing Flannagan.

My vote: Candy Belt.

Elena Souza, or her alias of Jessica (pronounced as "Yessica") Cristal Mendez.

Kristin Westin. Sounds like some kind of nursery rhyme character.

J.D. Method

Tanisha Love

T.K. Harty--that always sounded like a detective show title to me.

Kyle Clinkscales

Mafouz (sp?) Huck

Tom Sawyer

Heather Tallchief

Missy Munday always had an interesting ring to it, I thought.

Heather Tallchief

Agreed on T.K. Hardy--a poor man's T.J. Hooker!

Heather Tallchief always reminded me of Ed Chigliak's sometime girlfriend on Northern Exposure.

Tom Sawyer (RIP) had enough already happening in his life for us to worry about his name! :)

I always liked "Troy Voight".

I've always thought that Perman Gilbert was an unusual name...I've never heard of anyone else named Perman.

What about the ones that nobody can spell: Stanley Greizyc (sp?) and Su Taraskowitz (sp?)

It's spelled "Gryziec."

I swear someone's name was Peter Piper.

There was a guy named Peter Piper. He was the son of one of the middle-aged/elderly men that was a victim of the "Black Widow."

Ladell Farley. He was a detective in I couldn't possibly remember which segment off the top of my head. Not a particularly common name, especially for a white guy.

Also, in the Liza Montgomery segment, a guy who was interviewed but not actually shown on camera was apparently named "Smiles Zepeda."

And, of course, the infamous "Gabby." It may not be his real name, but it's by far the silliest pseudonym that UM ever gave an interviewee.

Ulysseses Roberson--not to mention his own taste for distinct names, dubbing Judy Olive "Ruby" and their son Alexander, "Salaam."

Tony Alamo and Nelson DeCloud. Those just SOUND like names cult leaders would have!

For the "must have had unimaginative parents" category, I'd nominate Dave Davis. And as much as I don't want to criticize Amy Bradley's parents, why did they think that naming her brother Brad Bradley was a good idea? :rolleyes:

Christopher Chichester, Christopher Crowe, Clark Rockefeller and Christian Gerhartsreiter were impressive.

Christopher Chichester

Good one sdb!

Of course my all time favorite is Hank Queen

I can't remember what segment it's from (I think the lost Dutchman's Mine) but, Rinehart Petrash (sp?)

Dexter Stefonek
A.J. Breaux
Perman Gilbert
C.W. Roddy
Louis Bourgeois
J.D. Method and T.K. Hardy needed to do a cheesy 70's sitcom.
I recall someone on a UM segment being named Ray Don (surname).

Platt Monfort (Gail Delano's father)

"Luxci"

Nancy Daddysman

Rae Ann Mosser

Okay, I now think that Riggs Gay, the detective in the Debra Poe case might take the cake in this category :D

Okay, I now think that Riggs Gay, the detective in the Debra Poe case might take the cake in this category :D

That was actually my ex-husband's last name. As I'm in the armed forces, let's just say I'd catch some flak every now and then for what the nametape on my uniform used to read.

For the armed forces' intents and purposes, were you known as "Meg Don't Ask, Don't Tell"?;) That's one needlessly long name tag!

Good one sdb!

Of course my all time favorite is Hank Queen

Out of curiosity I search facebook for the name Hank Queen and there a were a few of them :lol:

For the armed forces' intents and purposes, were you known as "Meg Don't Ask, Don't Tell"?;) That's one needlessly long name tag!

Oh, there were TONS of jokes. I'm a junior officer, so had I not divorced or otherwise revert back to my maiden name, I would've been Captain Gay, Major Gay.....if I got really career-ambitious, perhaps General Gay...:crazy:

AJ Breaux

I wonder did he actually stand out the front of his store and wave at every passerby?

Oh yeah! After viewing the segment for the first time in ages, I've found myself walking around town muttering "Rogest???" to myself. Hopefully nobody has overheard!:crazy:



You know, this just hit me, but since "Roger" ends in -er and is considered an amplifying adjective (i.e. cool/cooler), maybe Rogest's parents considered "Rogest" to be a superior or superlative name to "Roger." Grammatically, a case can be made for that.

It's very silly, but this just hit me and I had to share it for some reason.

Anyway, my votes go to Rohrey Wychgel and Bo Tanner.

and I know some of you are trying it even now!

;)
haha, i DID try it right after i read the comment, then i scrolled down and saw this

I've always wished my name was Jet after that segment

From the Reggie DiPalma segment:


Ingrid Yakacki

How about Tarasita Basa (sp?) - I always liked how Stack would enunciate her name as they detailed her speaking from beyond the grave.

Arnold Archamebu they guy who froze in the lake.

Mac Brazel.

Here are some I enjoyed

Magi Bish
Margo Freshwater
Stryder Styarfyr
Rachael Raver

Good one sdb!

Of course my all time favorite is Hank Queen

Best mustache too. :D

Randall Utterback

Star Palumbo: sounds like a hip female crimefighter

Dexter Stefonek: sounds like some sort of "mad scientist" character in a children's tv show about science

Patience Worth

Kristi Krebs

Sally McNally...or was it McNelly? Either way...

From the Perman Gilbert segment (apparently overflowing with awesome names): Ann Breeze

Also, in the AJ Breaux segment, someone's last name was "Tardo."

Man how could I forget:

Dwayne McCorkendale

Darlie Routier

Christophe Day


What was UP with this show + crazy names?!

Joe Sargeant - the police officer from the Brad Bishop case.

Thor Johnson, one of the victims of Eric Royce Leonard. The picture of him used on UM just made him look like a cool person to hang around with.

Shafaa Salem

Tara Breckenridge

Ayleen Conway

Astarte Davis

Doreen Picard

Sammy Sadler

Gulf Breeze UFO witness: Chip Holston :cool:

definitely the Wackers.I suspect old Bill lived up to his name.JMO.

Randall Utterback
I got the creeps just looking at his pic.how on earth Denice could ever date him,esp. w that awful attitude of his,I'll never know.

Excluding Jesse James Hollywood :crazy:

I vote for Wallace Thrasher.

I remember one segment was about a father who kidnapped his son who's name was "Dubenion" after a football player who played back in the day for the Buffalo Bills. The name "Dubenion" sounds pretty damn awesome to me! I cant remember the exact names but the son was eventually reunited with his mother.

It was Dubenion Joseph Ross and he went by Joey. His father named him. I remember that his mother had a sister after he went missing and she named her Elizabeth. I thought that now that mom was out of her ex-husband's controlling grasp, she decided to give the next child a name that wasn't as unusual. :D

Oh yeah! After viewing the segment for the first time in ages, I've found myself walking around town muttering "Rogest???" to myself. Hopefully nobody has overheard!:crazy:


since i read this a few days ago i have been walking around the city saying rogest...rogest??

The Weiner brothers from the Allagash four

From the Tammy Leppert segment: Wing Flannagan

Richard Bockledge and Dave Bocks because both last names aren't that far from being similar.

Possibly going to hell for saying this because it was an horrific case but Matthew Chase the guy abducted from the Atm has an unusual name.
Why?
Well I was at my atm today withdrawing cash and realized that my bank is called CHASE.
I had the Oh crap meme face.

Jule Caylor, Dexter Stefonek, and from the Kurt Sova case, Eugene Kvet.

From the Pam Page case: Willie Frisby

Anna Anton

Yeah, I like the name Wallace Thrasher, haha. His last name's "Thrasher"!

I knew some Thrashers in my neighborhood growing up. Uncommon name, but around here and there.

The Cindy James case has some good ones:

Tillie and Otto Hack

Agnes Woodcock

Ozzie Kaban

Florian Bourch, captain of the Freedon.

Not sure if it's been mentioned already or not, but I was thinking Hazel Head. There's just something oddly funny about it, IMO.

I'm surprised this one hasn't been mentioned:

Pepito d'Bayan

And the fact that it was an alias being used in a con game makes it all the better - you gonna credit the con with chutzpah, if nothing else.

Say Dennis Depue fast, five times.

Another unusual one I just thought of: Deloyd Satterthwaite. He was one of the interviewees of the Nevada Wild Horse Killings segment. I seriously doubt he shares his name wth anyone else.

Mingo Arreola.

Not sure if this has been mentioned but in the Donald Eugene Webb segment the teenage boy who is a witness is named Tiger Freehling.:cool:

Jesse James Hollywood....nuff said

Ulysseses Roberson--not to mention his own taste for distinct names, dubbing Judy Olive "Ruby" and their son Alexander, "Salaam."

Ulysseses reminds me of his parenting, useless.

My vote goes to Jesse James Hollywood.

Rett Jesse.

The Wackers
Stryder Starfire :rolleyes:
Arnold Archambeau
Bobbi Olberholzer

I can't remember if it's UM or not, but I always thought Dale Dinwiddie was a strange name.

The Weiner brothers from the Allagash four
Hahaha

How about Tarasita Basa (sp?) - I always liked how Stack would enunciate her name as they detailed her speaking from beyond the grave.
Yes her name always stood out to me and it's one of the most legit ghost stories featured by UM.

dynoguy mentioned waddadaa. I agree. And I will say g man. How the hell does waddada stay at large with such a distinct name and identifying features. Also how did g man get away for as long as he did. It seemed like law enforcement knew exactly who he was just needed to find him.

Wallace Thrasher

Margo Freshwater (it's like having the last name Cashdollar)

Jet Taylor

William Wacker

William Bradford Bishop (sounds like a politician)

Wing Flanigan (sounds like a professional wrestler)

Sven Reinehard and Christophe Day (sad stories so I don't mean to make fun...they just need Anna and Elsa)

Travis Wade Duncan (love those names where you must always say the full name)

CW Roddy (sounds like a crime novelist)

Jesse James Hollywood is obviously number one (but he wa smentioned in the first post with a disclaimer).

I'm not feeling well...otherwise I could do better.

CW Roddy (sounds like a crime novelist)



A perfect gene splice of a Price is Right announcer and the singer of "Convoy".

"Smiles Zepeda"

Melvine Aprile

Watada

The Wackers because irony.

Gotta agree with the people that said Weiner Bros and chuck rack

The black widows whole name is weird

The name "Dubenion" sounds pretty damn awesome to me! I cant remember the exact names but the son was eventually reunited with his mother.

All I can hear is RS saying, "Dubenion Joseph Moss, nicknamed Doobie..."

Shadow Boake.

Shadow Boake.
I don't know that one...

I don't know that one...

He was one of the locals interviewed in the Ogopogo segment. I actually don't think he probably said more than "yeah" since he was being interviewed alongside another individual at the same time who was doing most of the talking, but I never forgot that name.

Oh I need to review that one then. I've been watching a lot of river monsters lately and keep thinking aboat Ogo pogo

Gay Frocklage

Resurrection Mary. Nicknamed after the cemetery, not only poetic but also apt because she wouldn't stay buried!

Max "how bout a hug" Carson that name totally fits the pretend sleazy producer image.

Tracy Wofford-Bunn's ex-husband had an awesome name: Solomon Bunn.

Ozzie Kaban - sounds like a Star Wars character

Mia Zapata

The coroner in the Clarence Roberts case was named Jack Bond. James Bond's brother? He sure could use some investigative help from 007, that's for sure!

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, but doesn't it seem like there was an inordinate amount of Wheelers on UM?

Don't know how I missed this little doozy from the Debra Poe missing persons case which I must have watched about 100 times.

I remember him! He looked dirt old back then so I just did a Google search as of 2013, he is still alive.

The Weiner brothers from the Allagash four
That segment was lit up with best names. Weinerz and racks.

Riggs Gay?

That's awesome.

Oh wow i can think of a few...
Chupacabras (Mystery creature)
Fumbles (Clumsy bank robber)
Grandpa Bandit
Nancy Daddysman

I remember him! He looked dirt old back then so I just did a Google search as of 2013, he is still alive.
That picture is beyond funny. I would laugh at his facial expression alone but Riggs LOL. I'm so immature.

Rusty Corvette

I swear someone's name was Peter Piper.

Yes indeed, that was on the Black Widow segment, aka Maria Rodriguez - Secorro - Lapine -Lapine, whatever the hell her 50 mile long name was.

Clement Romeo (bail bondsman featured in the "Real Life Thelma & Louise" case).

So many odd names already posted. Maybe that was one of the criteria for getting in the show?

The psychiatrist in Samantha Kibalo's segment (baby abducted by mother with suspected Munchausen's by proxy) was named Dr. Pepper.
