Dick Hayter (given name Richard) was the mayor of Manhattan, Kansas and my dad's boss at KSU.

Had a buddy who's last name was Richards, his dad's name was Harry.

Harry Richards... it had to be on purpose right?

Knew a man who's last name was Weiner. Parents named him Seymour. Maybe his parents first language wasn't English.

Nah, this was an actual government name (could be coincidentally the same) he was an elderly student a very large university at the time. Decided to go back to college for fun at 75 or so for whatever his reasons were. I was working at the service desk so we would help people get signed in and change their passwords when they forgot them and such.
