“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.” Juliet’s famous line seemed to have a more poignant meaning this week with the arrest of Fellony Silas, 30, for . . . you guessed it . . . a felony battery at a bar.
Fellony allegedly attacked a woman with a glass after the woman bumped her while dancing.
At least her parents could have cut her a break and named her Misdemeana Silas or Nolo Contendere Silas.

Sorry, late to the game; after Chanda Lear, I got bumpkus….
here in daytona there is a dentist named dr. kuack
also knew of a police chief named swindle
and of course a used car salesman named jim shady
and a girl named sandy beaches (i had to check her id)
With a name like that, you really owe it to yourself to stay out of trouble, like this guy– Rev. Larcenaous Williams
Mespo,
That’s what I meant to say…… This tablet has some funky auto correct…..i am still getting used to it…. Yet to figure out how to cut and paste adequately……
AY:
I thought it was with the name “Wayne” or “Dewayne.” Here’s the site for all the serial killers with that moniker.

Mespo,
Can you explain the phenomenon that almost every serial killer has a D in the middle name…..
It may not be comfortable, but at least it’s funny. 😀
Gene,
I think I’m channeling pete which is not necessarily a comfortable state of mind. 😉
Chanda Lear.
At least the coffee you made me snort was room temperature from this morning instead of hot and fresh, Blouise.
Thanks for the aptronymic delight. In my own particular corner of the Twilight Zone, could there be any doubt that Dr. Joseph Couch, was destined to become a psychoanalyst, pretty much from the point of conception?
Don’t you just know that Dr. Donald Duckles never really had career choice?
How could Dr. C Yu NOT have become an eye specialist?
I suspect the curious concept of nominative determinism just doesn’t pop up often enough, during the pregnancy stage, as perhaps it ought, in an enlightened society.
And perhaps that’s the lamest Felony of all.
Mespo,
Did Lemon and Oran have a sister named Strawberry?
eniobob,
Thanks for the link the other day … keep on keeping on.
I ‘ve told this story before, but I’ve represented clients with the following first names:
Female (Pronounced “fe-male-ya”)
Lemonjello
Oranjello
Miss Demeana dances to the tune of Felonius Monk.
Good move Detective Chanda :=)
I’m thinking of changing my name to Chanda Lear and becoming a detective.
Detective Chanda Lear throws a bright light on the dark world of crime.
Or maybe an HBO series …
She could have been named:
Volo Mortis
..which would have been a bit disadvantageous during the penalty phase.
Soon enough she will be known as “Prisoner 32-80143
How about her cousins Nola Pros……
