We have an employee who's called Joy.

That's her actual name. Joy.

Every time I call her, she always sounds like she's trying really hard 
to not bust out laughing.

So I guess it's an apt name.

Or I sound really weird on the phone...?

Anyway, she had a child recently. And apparently the child's name is... 
Hope.

WTF?! o_O

"Hi, I am Hope, daughter of Joy."

Seriously... what's next? Merry? Jolly? Destiny?

"Joy gives birth to Hope".  Sounds reasonable to me. :)

Heh. More like "Joy hopes to give birth". :-P

OTOH, I still think that "Hilton Givens" sounds like a hotel... (That's 
actually a person's name.)

But then there's "Sandy Beaver". The most amusing part has to be that 
the owner of this name has *no idea* why it's so funny... heh.

I once saw a picture in ComputerWorld of a company executive by the name 
of 'Larry Himendinger'.

I bet he comes from a long line of Himendingers.
