Ecclesiastes 3:1The clock of life is wound but once and no man has the power
To know just when the hands will stop - on what day, or what hour.
Now is the only time you have, so live it with a will -
Don't wait until tomorrow - the hands may then be still.

Well I feel like I should weigh in here... since I have lived in Fort Wayne for the past 16 years! Yes, it's true, Harry Baals is the frontrunner for the naming of a new government center in downtown Fort Wayne. (The last I looked, he had over 14,000 votes, and the second place had less than 1,000!)
His real name was Harold. Apparently, when he was Mayor, he often corrected people who mispronounced his name that it was, in fact, Harry Baals (pronounced just like a baseball or a playground ball). I guess some people would say "Beals, or Baaaaaals". Maybe he had a sense of humor about it, I don't know.
I guess Jimmy Kimmell did a 5 minute "chat" about it last night on his live show! And I heard on the radio this morning that this was the Number 1 Google Search of the day!
Not sure this is what I actually want my town to be known for... but it DOES say that we have a sense of humor!

Harry Baals LOL LOL ya that is funny no matter how you look at it.
It just is. Even a nun would have trouble keeping a straight face saying that name . Can you imagine his wife, this is Mrs, Baals, or the old baals and chain. The kids, the little baals oh dear god. I can't stop laughing now.
All things serve the Beam
How silly. Name the center the Harold W. Baals Center ... or whatever his middle name is. That's perfectly acceptable and few are going to connect that formal name with the less fortunate nickname.

Hi there. Ey.
I knew a Chinese girl once called Twiggy Wee
Life Is Good
One of my high school classmates was "Alga Hoar". This poor girl was handicapped enough without the name. The single word describing her was amazon. She was around 6'4" wearing her hair in a bun that added another 6 inches to her height. You had no trouble seeing her coming down the hall, because she towered over everyone, boys included, and walked with a bounce.
Hi there. Ey.
I've known a few people in my life with the surname Hoare...pretty embarrassing for the girls.Originally Posted by kokopup
I worked once with a lady by the name of Theresa Haw...her ex-hubby was Malaysian.....she never changed her name after the divorce.....she was sort of proud of that name in a weird sort of a way.
