We had Ima Lamb stay with us once! :) A possible typo you may ask? No...not unless Visa/MC also made the same typo on the card..

I love when they come to check in and you ask their name and they start spelling it for you S-m-i-t-h.

One time I had a couple of gentlemen from the same company check in together. I barely refrained from handing Mr. Ball and Mr. Butts their keys with the exclamation, "Naughty Bits, party of two, your rooms are ready!"

My favorite here is Mr. Mistur. Kinda like the 80's band. :D

No joke, I remember Ms. Aura asking me if there was a New Age Shop in town!

My all-time favorite was Mr. Dick Oder.

*Sniff sniff*... =\

I tend to have a terrible sense of timing when it comes to things like this:

Out of good humor I asked Mr. Stephen Ghyrskz if he was Jonothan or Stephen. Of course there was no Jonothan Ghyrskz reservation, it was the first name I could think of... I smiled, thinking I was so clever.

He stared at me blankly, it was akward. I realized suddenly that I had been quite unhospitable and unproffesional, at the moment I might as well have been naked.

I had the opportunity (or misfortune) of checking in/out:

Ms. Rosemary Dill
Mr. Dick Hiscocks
Mr. and Mrs. Penisse
Mr. Couch

That's all I can think of for now...I know I've had more...

I had a Mr. John Ritter recently.

I've had a Jack Sparrow before.

I got a Tina Turner!

My favorite was Justin Case.

I think I mentioned it before, but I once got a rooming list with the last name Schitter. I giggled for like a day. (Because I'm 12. And a half.) Then the meeting planner sent me a revised list and his last name was really spelled Schnitter. Too bad, the first one was more awesome!

I had one whose last name was Lickdyke.

Can't forget my Ms. HoeGerl, pronounced 'ho-girl' by me when she checked in, and I barely kept a straight face. I think i need to start a tally of all the weird names over on FrontDeskBlog
:)

Wow, a real Justin Case is out there? We, and I'm sure a lot of hotels, use that as the name we put on reservations when we want to hold them for if/when something goes wrong and we're sold out.

We haven't had any good names in a while, but when we do I always write down the reservation number and leave it in one of my front desk girls folder and tell her 'yay! funny name reservation'

I had a Mrs. Doody check in a while back... And just last week, there was a lady whose last name was Whitehorn, but she pissed off the reservationist, so when she called to make changes to her reservation, it came up as Whitewhore. "Okay, now what was it you needed to change on your reservation, Ms. Whitewhore?" She was a little upset about that. >D
