Lois & Clark Forums Forums General Discussion Lois & Clark How many people do you know...?

( Hmm... not sure if this is the right forum for this. Sorry if it isn't )

How many people do you know who have names exactly like (or close to) names of characters in L&C?

I have a student whose name is William Henderson. The first time I saw the class roster, I almost started laughing right in front of class!

malu

at William Henderson!

Well, Malu, this isn't the name of an L&C character, but I think you'll find it's close enough. I used to work with a Dean Quain. No kidding! I'm dead serious. He looked like he could've replaced Tom Welling in Smallville. Drove a red mustang with a Superman plate on the front too.

Sara (who was flabbergasted the day she met him...oh your name's Dean?! Just out of curiousity, what's your last name? Excuse me?! You're kidding, right? Oh..you said Quain, not Cain. Sorry. Just ignore me. )

My nephew. First name from a surname on his mom's side- clark middle name after my grandfather -perry. I wasn't into Lois & Clark when he was born thank goodness. However, he is in first grade and LOVES superman.

My friend met a guy named Kent Clark. I immediately asked, "Is he cute? Is he single? Can he fly?"

I remembered another one. In my last job as a waitress, the kitchen had two sides to the 'line' on which all the food was prepared. Thus one cook per side. If Joe and Bob are working...we'd say Joe and Bob are on the line today. Well...my favorite days were when I could say "Laine and Kent are on the line." They didn't think it was so funny, but I got a kick out of it everytime.

Great thread Malu!

Well, I met with Chris Cain yesterday - DC's Dad . Okay, so he's not an L&C character, and actually my Chris (a colleague at work) spells his surname 'Caine', but hey, that's close enough, isn't it?

How about a pharmacology professor named Lois Lane? Does that count?
Only pharmacology professor that I went to every lecture...and it had nothing to do with the subject or quality of the lectures; I just HAD to have the handouts with the name Lois Lane on them.

I dated a guy with the last name Kent. I of course, called him Kent when I was teasing. He used to in turn call me Lane.

He used to say he had lots in common with Superman: he's named Kent, from the midwest, wore glasses, majored in journalism, then moved to the big city (New York).

ha! ha! --Wanda :rolleyes:

I have a friend named Lex that recently turned shady...turns out he's not the most trustowrthy guy ever...maybe the name is just cursed.

I just remembered, I was in choir with a guy named Clark, my Supervisor's last name is White, my Choir teacher's last name is Lane, there is a bastard, plagerising scum bag at the local newspaper whos last name is Scardino, the editor of the school newspaper's name is Dan, My mother's name is Ellen, and I am a journalism majo, Lois's initials when she married Clark were LLK, and mine are MMK, so it's a little similar.

Sara

Isn't that just the best way to choose classes - find a name you can associate with LnC and take the class - regardless. <g>

I think we had a lecturer first year that was a "White" and I know my sister was going to school with a really, really cute Dean. <g>

Jill

One of my distant cousins' name is Dean. 'Course, he's a little boy, but still. One of the teachers in my school is Mr White - although there are many, many differences between him and Perry! Also, I know a guy whose first name is Kent - and he happens to be one of the very few people in RL who agree with me that L&C is awesome. He also doesn't drink or smoke or anything like that and used to get straight A's in high school - I told him once I'm going to call him Clark from now on, and he said I would't be the first! <g>

Julie

Julie! That's great!

It's so fun to see everyone (including myself) make such vague connections...though I guess they aren't vague to us folcs...are they?

Sara

Not much, as far as I can remember. Or it's gonna be a bit farfetched.

Ken Lane, Sophie Kent and Jenny Oleson come to mind.

I won't tell on my professionnal nick. No, don't insist, I won't.

Nor on my first name which, according to my mother's explanations, is definitely Clark related because of... Carole Lombard. Okay, then it's Clark Gable related!

Oh, and there's also this Lois jewellery firm that comes to mind.

But nothing like the homonyms mentionned by others.

Carole

Oh I got a kick out of this. Lots of giggles from this end of the internet.

I worked with a manager with the name Lois in the past.

I knew a Dean at work too. Unfortunatley he was not cute. He looked more like Mario out of Super Mario Bros. Okay, not that fat.

I know a Dan.

I knew a Kal. (almost) I said Kal-el once by accident.

My last name is one letter off, but it is close to K. Callan. (Callin) I had to do a double take when I first saw it.

I knew a Mayson.

I went to school with a hall called "Drake Hall". It was sort of a scary hall. That's streaching it a bit....

Oh dear. I just realized I work with a Ralph.

My grandfather's name is Bernard (but prounced BERNerd not BernARD like they do in North America). I went to school with a BernARD. I'm sorry but I can't remember Dr. Klien's spelling....I'll go look now.

Jack is such a common name. I had an uncle.

Oh, yeah. My dog's name is Mason. It's a boy.

My grandfather's name is also Bernard (BERnard).

My best friend's schoolbag is of 'Lois' brand. When I first saw it I was like, "What????"

See ya,
AnnaBtG.

Well, to echo you, Anna...WHAT!?!

There's a brand called 'Lois'? I want a school bag that says Lois on it!!

Sara (who's changed her phone settings so it says 'Lois Lane' )
