Elwyn Tinklenberg is one of the best names I have ever heard.

Tinklenberg considering a bid for U.S. House seat
Elwyn Tinklenberg, a former state transportation commissioner, said Wednesday that he is "seriously considering" a Democratic run for the U.S. House in Minnesota's Sixth District.
Tinklenberg, a private consultant, could become the first Democratic name in a growing field of candidates to replace GOP Rep. Mark Kennedy, who is running for Senate.
Child-safety crusader Patty Wetterling, who lost to Kennedy last year, is weighing a Democratic run for the Senate, leaving the nomination wide open.
Tinklenberg said Minnesota Rep. Jim Oberstar and other Democrats encouraged him to run while he was in Washington last week. "I've been in politics long enough that certainly this idea has occurred to me before," Tinklenberg said. He was the mayor of Blaine from 1986-96 and a Blaine City Council member from 1982-86.
