It is not a name, but Bob Smith (Buffalo Bob Smith) used to tell at some shows about a little boy who was participating on stage during one of their early tv Halloween shows. After a while the boy had to use the bathroom. Bob pointed him to side stage so the boy could exit but the lad thought Bob was indicating one of the Jack O’Lanterns along the stage front and proceeded to empty his bladder into that receptacle, putting out the candle. Years later when Bob decided to follow up on what happened with memorable child participants in the show he learned that boy had become a fireman!(Over 40 years ago i worked as assistant stage mgr for some oldies concerts, and although that sounds impressive it really just means gofer. Bob MCed two of the concerts. He and Chub Checker were my absolute favorites to work with, just plain wonderful people, very personable, very down to earth, and totally professional.)
@Burgundy2 from yesterday. If it was yesterday’s joke you didn’t get, it was just one more word play on names. His girlfriend was the kind who wanted to get married. She was the marrying kind- thus Marion Kind. Sound it out, and it should make sense. That’s what all the succeeding comments were about, too – more word play.

To hear Edna tell it, he looked just like Peter O’Toole.
