Good idea!! How about Gerry Mander?
stm8r1 wots a gerrymander? i thought of another one... The son of Mr and Mrs Board could be Bill (Billboard)
just_moi, per Webster's, gerrymander is to redistrict or voting area to give unfair advantage to one party. I know, it was a stretch.
Hard and funny. I also like that "Billboard" one.
Great job with this on Just_Moi! You could have broken this one into 8 different teasers if you were greedy for points. Glad you did not, it is more fun this way. I have a few for you, how about Mr. and Mrs. Sled (or Cat) with Bob as the first name (Bobsled or Bobcat). Or Mr. and Mrs. Ahawk with Tom as the first name (Tomahawk), or Mr. and Mrs. Ynilly first name Will (Willynilly). Wait here is a better one, Mr. and Mrs. Urai first name Sam (Samurai).
Keep posting fun teasers like this.

thanx electronjohn! i really like the samurai one...
Very cute! I must say that #8 was the easiest! ;)
I totally like it. Very origanal.......
Reminds me of the Garbage Pail Kids. 'member dem?
Chris Anthemum?
Chris anthemum as in chrysanthemum (its a flower)
One's mind has to be really on the ball for this teaser.
Cute, I liked it!
I actually have an aunt named Anita Hart (I need a heart). Too bad she's not a Dr.
Anita Hart? thats pretty awesome i know someone called Moni... we call her Aunty Moni (like the element anitmony!)
That's absurd.
there are too many different answers, and in fact your last answer was just stupid. it's meant to be single words not phrases is'nt it? if i was making a phrase out of time i would have said "justin" or "oliver" or "phil"
but i was aiming for words...
these are my answers.
2) Matt or Tim
3) Jim
4) Heather
5) Chris
6) Sally
7) danni (i dont know anyone named dinah)
Mara, Mari

Coin Man, u r sooo overthinking it. just have fun!!!
Excuse me, CoinMan... I have an aunt named Dinah. I think this one was excellent.
i got most of them, but even though i knew all the words i couldn't guess some
Cute! I like it It's just a fun teaser. But on the real peoples names front, my mom used to know someone by the name of "Ima Pigge". It was pronounced "Eema Peeje", but it's spelled like "I'm a Piggy!"
Tricky tricky!!!
I liked it a lot!
I liked it a lot!
i'm not good at these but it was fun
lol I love this one!
Coin man, I'm with IMCL4E and strange love. I know someone named Dinah. So just have fun!
Anyways, good teaser!!
Anyways, good teaser!!
Coin man must be to young for him not to remember Dinah Shore. I thought this a GREAT one and really enoyed both it and the comments
it was too confusing whair were we supoed to get the names from it was just mr.and mrs.____
That is really smart. I really enjoyed it.
I got most of them. I rejected Sally Mander because it doesn't sound right and went with Gerry, which I still think is a better answer. Anyway, it was a lot of fun and a good teaser.
That was totally a lot of fun! I almost got them all.
awsome one... there were a few that could have been others but still very cool.
Very fun, I only got a few of them. Clever!
coinman, howd you get heather for Time? heathertime? lol cute
way fun!! i once had a kid in my class named Justin Case (no joke!)
real cute . this has to be the coolest and the funnest teaser i've seen so far. good job, keep'em comin'.
This was excellent and very clever

just moi, I really enjoyed this one! I had alot of fun trying to figure this one out ! Please, keep them coming!
That was very fun! I got almost all of them. Justin Time confused me, because it was multiple words, wheras the others were all one word. But, it was very fun!
im putting this teaser on my favorites list!
Coolness
GREEEAAAATE!
I would hate to have those names!
Good teaser!
Great teaser! creative
though I've never met anyone named Dynah...
though I've never met anyone named Dynah...
I love it! Probably because I actually got all of them.(Except Dick Tate, I said Emma Tate ops
NIce one just moi. I've heard some of these before, Justin Time was an ambulance driver, Jim Nasium was a gym teacher, etc.
I enjoyed this teaser. I thought it was fun and a bit hard. Thanks for the good teaser!!
good...
got most; thought it was Emma Tate.

Now all we need is the right last names and then we'll be able to make our kids' lives miserable, thanks to this cute teaser...
I especially liked this because it reminded me of a friend who used to swear that her uncle Harry Butte was married to Barbie Queue.. Now I can one up her with these new names!

This was soooo cute! I loved it!
THIS ONE WAS CUTE MOI.
Neat, although I had "Anna Tate" (annotate) and either "Juan" = one or Summer Time. "Justin Time" is clever, but not sure it's a "word" really.
I loved this one.
My grandmother went to school with a girl named "Ophelia Razz"!
I kid you not.

I really enjoyed this teaser, and the comments are almost as good. In a serious note (I know, should I go here??) When my children were born they handed out a sheet of notes reminding you to look at the first and last names just to see whether or not you did names like this accidentally. "If your last name is Green, don't name your daughter Rose" That sort of thing, trying to help avoid this and save kids the pain.
These were really funny, and I liked the other name suggestions given by others. How about Mr. and Mrs. Emia having a son named Luke? Or, Mr. and Mrs.
Unn and a son named Larrs??
Anyway, although I didn't get many of 'em right, I still enjoyed trying! And, I know that Justin person, he hangs round my place quite often!

Very Clever, me rikie.
An A+ for that one. Very well, thought out.
Didn't get any of them, but it was fun - a nice way to start the day.
This was a fun teaser. I should know about having a sense of humor about names, because our last name is Day. When our kids were born, we got suggestions for names like Holly if it was a girl, and Sonny if it was a boy. Or, Wendy... etc. Thankfully, we're not cruel parents and we gave them names that the kids wouldn't make fun of.
GREAT TEASER JUST ... KEEP THEM COMING
This was very fun! One of the funnest, I love it that people came up with their own, although I think next time just say: word, words, or phrases, something like that to avoid confusion.
I know a girl who was the granddaughter of Texas millionaire Wilfred Hogg, who of course named his two daughters Ima and Ura, this is absolutely true! The grandchild's name wasn't bad. I also went to church with Bunny Easter, and April Showers, again NO KIDDING, 100% true, I swear! Deb U. Tante, un, heck, can't think of anymore right now, Deb was a made up name , a "stage name" of a friend.
BTW, the poster above me, Day, are you by any chance Susan's brother?
Thanks for the great teaser!

Igot some of them very good Teaser. Keep them coming.The 1s in the comments R good 2
EmmaTate and Sam Urai
When I was in college, we used to make up kids' names for guys we were dating. I thought it would be cool to marry Don See and name our kid "Jose Kenyu." I know - that middle name is a stretch, but we had a blast doing this. This teaser is definitely a FAVE!
That's hilarious, iteachkids!
Great teaser!!! I loved it! Definitely going in my favourites!!!!!!!!!

To Shawneeo: No, I'm not Susan's brother. For one, I'm a female. Also, I'm not any relation (that I know of) to Doris Day either. (Are you thinking of Susan Dey, of The Partridge Family? LOL ... note the different spelling of the last name.
To Kimberlykay: My hubby's brother's former girlfriend, Dawn, has a sister named Holiday. (For real!) If my hubby's brother married Dawn, she would have been Dawn Day. If he'd married her sister, she would have been Holiday Day. How funny is that?!?!

I too loved it - I read these for fun, and this one certainly made me chuckle. I'm expecting a new grandhild, and am now going to suggest some names I've just thought of - all for fun of course.
Thanks
Thanks
Just moi,
this one is so fun that I am putting it in my favorites!
Electronjohn, you also are very creative!
coin and huevos, you seem a bit tense. This teasers are meant to tease our brains not slap them with perfectionism. I hope you find some more fastidious teasers that you do enjoy.
Oh by the way I know someone who's maiden name was
DAWN O'DAY!

One of our favorite customers was named, Harry Crease. How cruel were those parents? Another customer was named Glo Hooker. Great teaser.
Awesome!!! I loved this!!!
Too good...I like!
Tres bien pense in other words WELL DONE That was FUN!!!!
These were cute. I didn't get too many--tried too late in the day and my brain was tired. By the way, I have a friend whose daughter is named Dinah. I never thought of that as a strange name. (Of course, her last name was not "Mite") I did actually know someone who was name Candy Kane.
TOO HARD! Am I too old? I remember Dinah Shore!
wow I love these!! our school paper puts little teasers in, and I was editting the In Depth page and searching for a "surface" section... I think these will do great!! Keep 'em comin'!! they're awesome!

that was very good, i liked it very much it was very cute although i didnt get a single one oh well
That was sooooo boring!
BORING?!?! NO! Just silly, which is why I liked it.
Pebbles77 mentioned that she knew a kid named "Justin Case." That's nothin'! I used to work at a pediatrician's office purging old files. Here are 3 names I came across that take the cake:
"Secret Level" (first name "Secret," last name "Level. I'm not kidding here, folks).
And, of course, there were the Deep twins, Ramem and Gagem. Can you believe that? What were the parents THINKING?!? The worst part is, if I remember correctly, one of the twins was male and the other was female. I don't know who had which name, but I'll let you guys have fun trying to figure THAT one out! BTW, great teaser...

BORING!!!! i dont think so!!!
That was cute. BTW if you haven't heard of the name dinah, what about the song with the line "someone's in the kitchen with Dinah". Maybe that song isn't known in other countries, I don't know.
That was fun and very innovative! Nicely done!
Hi everyone.. I really enjoyed this teaser... very innovative and challenging... Got a few of them right..
Enjoyed the work got part of them, but not all. Enjoyed some of the comments and crazy names. Have one to add , Dick and Jennifer Picker named their daughter Amanda Lynn. Guess that was better than Mya Nose. Keep it funny and challenging and you'll keep me reading and enjoying.
that is soooooo cute!!!! i LOVED the second one!!!!! matt tress!!! it was awesome
Cute, but I didn't get it! I guess it's just my blonde! lol anyways great teaser

Didn't care for it... Too ambiguous.
Twas not bad - though some of them were a little out of keeping with the rules, such as "Justin Time". Fun though

I once read a news article about a Mr and Mrs Peacock who had named their son Drew.
I had a house cleaner named Hedda whose last name was Haire. When I laughed, she told me her husband's name is Moe.
How about Miss Ann Athema? nice puzzle.
HoneyM: that is hilarious.
Very cute
i agree with coinman it wasnt a very good one sorry
but nice try
I thought it was cute. Once I read the answers I understood it better tho, so I probably could have answered more correctly. Next time.
Cute!
I loved this one! I got the last one wrong I wrote Annie Time
Justin was MUCH better!
Thanks for a good one!
Justin was MUCH better!
Thanks for a good one!
Great teaser! LOL over the comments. My friend Sherrie Farmer got remarried and now her name is Sherrie Farmer Brown!
Very good teaser!! Some of them really had me stumped for a while but finally got them!! Excellent work!!
I got most of them except I had Gerry Mander and Mary Time (maritime). Anyway, this was very enjoyable and kept me awake in class.
nice.....i always give up really quik.......maybe this isnt my thing!???
I guessed Hammer for #8... it wouldn't surprise me if someone was named hammer out there....
How about Mr. and Mrs. Anna Tate (annotate)
Fun, fun, fun!!! Couldn't get Tate.
Justin's sister is named Spring. (Anyone old enough to remember the actress on Bob Cummings' show? I think the name was Byington, something like that.)

A totally outstanding teaser! Keep up the terrific work! Some of the names were quite wild, though. But, the teaser does get the mind to going. WTG!
Loved the teaser . My mom was over and she really thought it was cute too. It is going in my faves. Would like to see mor of this type. They made me laugh and that is great.
Awesome teaser!!!!
Cute, Cute, Cute! Definitely one of my favorites!
I'm pretty sure #4 could also be Jess (short for Jessica) Tate, meaning gestate.
I all of them except #4 & 5. I had fun. Thanks!!
Lots of silly fun! I can remember doing this game when I was a kid... Sandy Beach, Crystal Waters, I.P. Nightly, Ben Dover, etc.
Pretty good, but the last one is a phrase, not a word! I missed three in total, I think.
I missed about three... *shrug*
Interesting teaser, good job!
-- I know someone named Rocky Mountain....

My dad's childhood friend had a last name of Clear... He named his daughter Crystal. This reminds me of that story... Very fun teaser!
this was fun! Thanks for teasing my brain.
Very fun this. For number 4, couldn't stop thinking "Ampyoo" isn't a name... heh.
I also got:
4. Mr and Mrs Tate - Reece (as in Restate).
4. Mr and Mrs Tate - Reece (as in Restate).
I thought of "Mary" for time...and couldn't think of anything for "mite"...except termite. Great teaser!
I think it should be Mrs. and Mr. for Sally and Dinah. fun Quiz
Great idea!!! I thought number 4 was anna tate.
This is one of the best teasers i ever saw and ever will see!!!!!!!!
It was just okay and there were other choices too. I loved all the comments about people they knew. Some were funnier than some of the teasers.
This was fun/cute. I had a few different answers, too. Hi KK - how are you? Have a wonderful day, everyone!
I had Miss for #2. DH says heres a big to GW
Got most, which was enough for me Enjoyed it
I saw a show about this on "That's Incredible" (aging myself here) years ago. Some of the names that stick out were Jack Frost, Peter Rabbit and one gentleman who had the unfortunate last name of Claus, so of course his parents thought it wise to name him Santa. The worst one though was a boy whose last name is Daub - his father chose the first name Zippity and the middle name Doo or the child.
A couple years ago an ex and I got into a car accident and the officer who responded to the crash was named Jet Black. There is also a Real Estate Agent who is named Peter Pan.
I don't understand why parents are so cruel. Sure it is "cute" when they are kids, but how seriously can you take them as adults

Brilliant, and not all that easy either. Some I got right away, while some I didn't get at all.
The clues should really say Mr OR Mrs instead of AND. It's already been pointed out that there are multiple correct answers too.
This one made my smile. Cute.
Sally Mander was a bit of a stretch, but I had guessed Sal A. Mander, bending the rules a bit by adding a middle initial!

3-Jim
