Roscoe & Rosemary Undredt knew very well that when you say their last name quickly, it sounds like "hundred."
Roscoe Undredt is a Boomer, born in 1953. He was married twice before he met Rosemary in 1985. She got pregnant on their honeymoon. Or sometime the month before or sometime the month after. They never used the Scientific Method to pin it down.
When it came time to name their newly born son, hubris got the best of them... Hubris and some really good weed. Despite having lived in upper New York state his entire life, Roscoe agreed with Rosemary that Juan Haight Undredt was as classy a name as anyone could ever have, especially since New York Bell was allowing private citizens to sign up for toll-free numbers.
So now, 23 years later, if you're so inclined, you can talk to their son any time you want: Juan Haight Undredt 202-9033.

Far better than naming him Juan Nein Undredt and subjecting him to a lifetime of callers wondering what he was wearing.
I have this theory that we should be able to behead people for certain civil crimes against humanity and this would be one of them. Juan's probably applying for a gun license right now.
My sister's name is Eightsixfive and her last name (by marriage) is Threeohnine.
Guess what her middle name is? Seven.
OR I'm full of shit. Since this is blogland and we're all anonymous, no one will ever know if I'm telling the truth or not.
