The power of a name

Almost every day, I pass by the corner of Middlefield and Whisman. A couple of weeks ago, I spied the funniest sign. At first I did a double-take... the property was for sale by...

CINNAMON TRIMMER!

I didn't read it as a name at first, it was just too odd.

Isn't that just about the perfect porn/tittie-dancing name, ever? They really should reconsider their career in realty...

    funny, we have two crazy real estate agent names here already - I wonder if people with strange names are more likely to be agents (or just more likely to advertise their name)?

      Another possibility is that real estate agents go out of their way to make their names as memorable as possible. For example, San Francisco agent Ric Rocchiccioli goes by "Ric Roc". Can't think of other examples off the top of my pointy little head, though.
