Buddy Wayne Name

As in #buddywaynename - Buddy Wayne is a comedic figure of speech, a paraprosdokian of sorts. It consists of a proper name, two syllables in the first and one syllable in the last, which inherently means something else. Sally Forth (i.e. to set out in a sudden, energetic, or violent manner) is the ‘purest’ example of a Buddy Wayne Name (Allen Keys is pretty damn good, too), with a clearly recognizable first name consisting of two syllables, a believable last name with one, and a commonly understood alternate meaning, which is spelled correctly. Donny Brook (i.e. an inordinately wild, contentious, free-for-all brawl), although a very fine example of a Buddy Wayne Name (one of the greats, really), is tragically 'impure' due to the variance (two words in the #bwn, versus one in the original word).
