I find names like this humorous. I could start a thread with names like this. ie. Fair Hooker (Cleveland Brown), Dick Pound (former VP of the UIOC), Johnny Dickshot (former MLB player).
Sorry, I am loyal to 13. I went on yahoo for my page and it showed up under the station that no one watches. I should have gone to your site. WTHR.com is the only place for news in central Indiana.

Much better.
I hate that Yahoo news page. Three headlines from Star, 6, & 8, nothing from 13 until you click through. I need to find a way to change that.

I used to be in the radio biz and "Wacky Names" was always a standby on a slow news day and yes the phones exploded every time we did it.
It's amazing but judging by the calls we received, every family named Hertz has a son named Richard.

Baals is considered to have been a very sucessful mayor.
National attention to little town at the head waters of the mighty Maumee River! Wahoooo!
It's been good for me. Whatever.

A homophone is a word that is pronounced the same as another word but differs in meaning. Source:Wikipedia
Now there's a term that would likely be misunderstood by most folks especially when discussing Mr. Baals.
