Any Boardies With Comic Book Character-Like Real Names In Real Life?

Reed Rothchild here.

[Ken Aldred]

The way my surname's commonly mispronounced, I suppose it could be a bit 'Mega City One', 'Judge-like', maybe? Or not far off something ominous and Gothic-sounding, like Darkseid.

I do have a client named James Kirk.

 

I knew a contractor named James Bond.

 

 

And another named John Lennon. (I know that's not a fictional character...and Bond's not a comic book character...)

 

Both have been in comic books. Several for the Beatles and Showcase #43 for Bond (probably some others also).

Here is a true story along these lines.

 

When I was a Narc, one of my side jobs in the unit was to contact and coordinate with the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles and obtain "false" drivers licenses for us all, to use in undercover work.

 

I used the name Bleau Jay. I used that because in high school my nick name was Blue Jay. Given to me because I was the only white kid in the school and I had blue eyes. Plus my middle name is Jay. But that one made people laugh, so I changed it the following year.

 

I had it changed to Bleau Thomas and I still have that one somewhere around here, although it is expired since I retired.

 

I had let each detective pick out whatever name they wanted and one guy picked out the name "James Bond". One female used the name Katy Keene. There were some others that were cool, but not of comic book characters. Four I remember were Richard Pepsi. Oscar Prime, Dusty Rhodes and Mark Glock.

 

These were real actual Ohio drivers licenses that only the BMV and us were privy to who they were actually assigned to. I can note this now as all have moved on to other jobs or retired.

 

In real life I have three sons. Jason Jarell, Weston Mack and Joseph Jay. I think those would make cool comic book character names.

I used to work with another guy, I swear I'm not making this up, his name is "Dickie Tinkle."

And no, Dickie is not short for Richard. His name is really "Dickie Tinkle."

 

He has one of the best senses of humor of anyone you've ever met. He says it's from growing up with that name. He had to learn to not let it bother him.

 

I guess you could go one of two ways with that one.Either you could laugh and have a great sense of humor,or be an ax murderer.

Better than Dickie Dare.

There's a 1st Shift supervisor at work whose name is Steve Rogers. He also wears Captain America t-shirts on occasion...so I always call him "Cap"...

[Chespirito]

My son's middle name is Danger. I had a hard time convincing my wife at the time, but during labor, I had my way... When she saw the paperwork, she just laughed.... I think it's neat..

[Chespirito]

I also know a Major Kirk, who at some point was Captain Kirk... Yeah, he heard it all while has Captain... "yeah I never heard that one, very original..".. Sigh....

I used to have a customer called Peter Park. Just missing the er at the end

I used to work with a guy called Kent Clark.

Did he often disappear into random phone booths? Maybe that was his cover name

I have a co-worker who named his son Flash!!!

I wanted to change my last name to Spiderman when I was a kid. Like my friends with the last name as Friedman, Silverman, Wasserman...why not Spiderman? . Marc Spiderman.

 

You can still do it.

[Jeffro.]

I do have a client named James Kirk.

 

Totally true except he's a competitor now and not a client

 

That makes you Khan, you know.

Back in the 80s, my parents would order these huge mutli-gallon containers of milk and they would deliver them right to the house. The milkman's name? You guessed it, Reid Fleming.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No, not really

I sit next to a Carla Barks... once made a Uncle Scrooge joke that totally went over her head...

There's a character in Edgar Rice Burrough's Princess of Mars named James K. Powell. When I was a kid reading that, I thought it was pretty cool, but I was bummed my parents didn't make my middle name Kurt or Kilgore or something.

 

Of course, the character gets attacked and killed by Apaches early on in the book, so there's that.

Not comic related, but I'm real close to a whiskey name.
