from a former relationship is named Jonathan, after his father (who was always called Jon, since he was named for HIS father), but has always been called Boogie. Then she married a man named Jonathan. His oldest son by his first wife is also named Jonathan, but goes by his middle name. It's nuts.

When I worked neonatal, I saw some real doozies too. One of my favorites was Chivas Aspen, about which a co-worker commented, "It sounds like we know when and how she was conceived!"
