We always talk about funny baby names...Have y'all heard about the controversy over Harry Baals? This man was a prominent political figure whose last name was pronounced BALLS. For real.

Now they want to name a government building after him, but some people don't want it. Here's the story:

I have come across some funny names during my years as a transcriptionist, such as William Crapps and Dr. Honey Mae Getubig. You can't make this up!
I swear sometimes people should just change their last names, too! :D
