[Magdalen] My favorite name...recently

[Jay Weigel]

In the town where I lived there was a person named, so help me....Ivory
Dingus. Turned out it was a female. Her daughter, Ivory Nicole, known as
Nikki, went to school with my daughter. She was something of an airhead and
was known as "Nikki Dingbat".
