When my mum was at school she had a teacher who was called Mona Lott.My mum said her name never matched her personality, she was a lovely teacher.
Talking of teachers, I was working in a classroom one day when I heard the class teacher calling the children's names to go home, ' Miss Atkins, Miss clay etc until she got to a little boy...' Master Bates.' I just curled up with laughter...
Where I work we have some interesting ones:
April May
Geoff Fagg
Jeurgen Wanka
Jacky Willy
Helmuth Bumberger
We've got a Dirk Minge as well, and an F Fanny (I don't know what the F stands for, but hopefully it's fart).
No, I didn't make them up. I don't have the brains for that sort of thing. I'm not too sure how you'd go about verifying them, really, but take my word for it - they're in our company address book.
Additionally, my Dad once spent a few minutes leafing through a St. Louis phone book in the USA, and found the following:
Captain Todd Bong
Aloysius Bonk
Sextus Goggins
My mum taught a Melissa Wardrobe in Hull, and a Daryl Derryberry in the States.
Finally, I should mention that I was nearly called a William, so I could well have been Willy Cummings. I shudder.
My uncle used to work with someone called Ruby Dubidoux (pronounced Ruby DoobyDoo). Whilst sifting through the phne book at work I discovered an employee called Karin Wanke, as well as an Alan Partridge. A friend of a friend has a client called Mrs Whorebastard, and is unable to contain his laughter whenever speaking to here over the phone (fortunately he's never met her in the flesh).
I used to have a friend in school in Poland called Artur Balas - which translates to 'Arthur Turd'. Literally. Luckily for him his parents were very rich, and he was quite a generous bloke (could it be that his surname made him so generous?!!) so everybody competed to become his friend and therefore he lived ever after rather than commiting suicide in an early age... who says money doesn't buy happiness?!!!!
a friend at work is married to a woman named cindy. not too bad yet, but her sister's name is candy. their maiden name was soda. can you imagine? cindy soda and candy soda?
I love the name Ruby Dubidoux!! I couldn't stop laughing! Anyway, I knew someone called Ayla-Faye Taryn Watson-Dancy. She made us call her that. Ayla-Faye for short.
I knew someone else called Charlotte Mumme (pronounced 'mummy'), and my dad used to work with someone called Gaythorne Sylvester. He didn't want his name shortened. For obvious reasons.
Here's one for you, sometime in my high school years some of my buddies and I were sitting inside school in the lunchroom idlely looking for some mischief to embrace. One of my friends said that we should give 'Miss Magnolia Thunderpussy' a phone call. I nearly fell out of my chair in poraxyms of gut busting laughter knowing this just had to be a joke. To my amazement,and several of others in our group, he swore the name was for real and proved it by escorting us doubters to the foyer where the pay phones were and opened up the residential book to the womans name.
Our jaws dropped in utter disbelief.I then spoke out that this was either a misprint or some one got one over on the phone company. He said no and gave me a dime to call and find out for myself. Well so I did, still not quite believing it or that some one would even answer the phone. To my great surprise Miss Thunderpussy answered and aknowledged her name. In a flash of unoriginal immature wit I introduced myself as 'Lighting Rod' (much guffawing from my cohorts) and that I needed to be 'grounded'(more guffawing).To this she replied,'a grounding from you of such a filthy mind would produce a 'thunderclap' of which she would have no truck with any 'filthy diseases' and hung up.
I used to work in the I.T. dept of a large telecommunications company who shall remain anonymous. There was no format in place for creation of login names to the Windows network. Someone one day created a login name for a guy called Louis Abia - Labia. Another unfortunate guy called Wan Kie Bei obtained the user name, Wankie...
At the hospital I used to work at there was a patient by the name of Shona Twatt.
Also, when I was working in Australia I met an unfortunate girl who went by the name of Sandy Bush.
I swear these are both true.
There was this in the news some time ago:<br>
A guy in Australia who's last name is <b>ITCHYANUS</b> and his first name... <b>IVAN</b><br>
Dunno how true this is, anyone confirm?
Well, odd names anyhow. When I was a student fifty years ago there was a historian called Preserved Smith. The first part was no doubt an old Protestant name, Preserved-from-damnation. Smith was just Smith.
Hello there. I live in Melbourne Australia and I work for a company which deals with nationwide freight. The following are some really funny town names I've come across:
Tittybong (Victoria)
Woodenbong (New South Wales)
Bumbang (Victoria)
Krakafat (Western Australia).
I was on holiday in Cornwall, UK, recently, when as I was reading the map I happened to come accross a small town called 'fingringho'. This is genuine, look it up for yourself! theres also a guy in my school called 'yoshi sakashita', you have to feel for the kid!
well living in scotland means you get a load of silly names, in my persoanl experience ive never met better than ....Phil McKracen (fill my crack in) ah fuckin price less if u ever meet him!
I went to school with a girl named Jennifer Cotton, not so amusing, but her older sister was named Candy.. Hence Candy Cotten.
Also knew a girl from highschool named
Spring, Her parents ran a bakerey named Flowers Bakery, which gives her the name Spring Flowers.
I have come across the following genuine names:
Cairy Hunt - A Canadian woman
Egbert Nodblaster - A friend of mine told me about this guy
It really makes you wonder why their parents did this to them
I met a Dr Dikshit in India, and have also encountered a Sid Hite III. Suely by the third generation it would have dawned on them? We also have another customer called Anil Mistry
I went to school with a guy named Charles Steak. Funny, Chuck is short for Charles, hence his nickname...Chuck Steak. Too funny. Also, my mother told me of a girl she went to school with named Mai (pronounced 'my') and her last name was Kar. My Car...lol. Finally, the best one. My senior year writing teacher told me that she had gone to school with a woman whose last name was Hog. Yeah, that was bad. Her parents named her Ima. That is terrible of them. But funny.
One more thing, had a friend whose last name was Kase. Now the poor thing couldn't have any children but she always said that she wished she could have had one, a boy, and she would have named him Justin. Justin Kase. LOL
I too love a silly name and have met quite a few folk with daft monikers;
My niece's classmate, Russell Sprout
A horribly rude kid of my aquaintance, Kurt Snipe
My cousin Susan Tuffin, who's first initial and surname reads ' S TUFFIN'
During a student job as a debt collector, I had to call to get money from a bloke called 'Pith Paur'. And yes, he was.
Our local hospital has a Dr Wee and a neaby surgery a Dr Urin. Also there is a Dr De'Ath
My aunt's maiden name was Fanny Clinch
I found a website (privateeye.com)that has a record of every living person in the USA, and you can search their database!! These are all names of real living people living in the USA. Check it out for yerself!

Many years ago I was a sergeant in the Army. One a few occasions I had to do a role-call for a bunch of WRACS (Women's Royal Army Corps). I always laughed out loud when I called the name of Private Organ. It's not exactly sexual but it sounds like it might be.
True name from my wife who worked in an inner city hospital. Lady called her newborn baby Nosmo King. Because the last thing she saw when goping into the delivery room was a sign 'No Smoking'
one of my old teachers was unfortunate in being called
mrs . hiscox
another was also delighted with the name
mrs . allcock
and i swear these are true!!!!
I worked with a guy named John Outhouse.
He was a really nice guy and had heard all the jokes about his name over the years. I suppose with a name like that you would either be a nice guy or a @ss Hole...........
I work in a call centre and we used to get some great names out of dialler system.Some of the best gotta be:
Mrs Minge
Mr Cocked
Mr D'Legendary Iceman J

Hi...
Two from Canada.
1. Distant acquaintance of a grandparent. Family name was 'Horsey'. Daughter got inconsiderately tagged 'Mary Rhoda'...
2. Dealer decal/plaque on the decklid of a car a few years back...'Richard Head Toyota'. What were they thinking...
Cheers
S.
I was once listening to Z 95.3 here in BC Canada and this person won a contest, he said is name was
Richard Cheese
And everyone knows Dick is short for Richard so his short name would be
Dick Cheese LOL!
One morning I was going to start a new kitchen installation with a work partner, The clients names wer Mr & MrS Christmas, My partner said to me wouldn't it be funny if her name was Mary and guess what? 'it was' Mary Christmas..
I was bored one morning so I decide to look up some old friends with the help of Google.com. I found my friends yet still I was bored, so I remembered from the T.V, show 'The Simpsons' the name Amanda Huggenkis. So I typed in the name thinking I probably wouldn't find anything and what comes up but a site with the same name. I was rolling with laughter. I couldn't actually believe that there was a woman out in the world with that name. Although her last name changed due to marriage, she will always, in my eyes, be Amanda Huggenkis.
I once worked for a telemarketing company and had to call an ice cream parlour in Devon owned and run by a Mr Gay. Bizarrely, he decided to call his shop Gay's Creamery and when I called, they actually answered the phone with 'Gay's Creamery how can I help you?' Have a go yourself:
Gay's Creamery
20, Brunswick Place, Dawlish, Devon EX7 9PD
Tel: 01626 863341

I once met a client from Oslo. She introduced herself as Randi, which made me laugh, but when she told me her surname I couldnt believe it. It's Bugge (Pronounced Bugger).
I work with Dick Burns and Hung Long. I used to work for Thong That Ton. My daughter's pediatrician was Dr. Stork. My daughter attends school with children of the Urine family. My father-in-law's first name is Jack and middle initial is A. My mother-in-law tells me that he is appropriately named. My father-in-law worked with a man named Dick Feeler. I attended school with a woman who named her first daughter Amanda Lynn.
Enjoyed reading your web site.
We used to spend time perusing the doctors index whilst working at an accident claims place, we found a Dr Fister, and believe it or not he was a gynaecologist!
There was a Dr Rickets in Brecon and someone has the GP Dr De Ath!!
Granite State voters chose incumbent Republican Sen. Robert C. Smith over former two-term Democratic Rep. Dick Swett, even while voting for President Bill Clinton and a Democratic governor.

As if my name werent enough lol ... i went to a dentist's office when i was a kid in Belfast, Maine (USA) where the doctors name was Dr. Slaughter. His assistant was Nurse Blood ! TRUE TRUE !
Sorry but this is stupid. making fun of people who can't help their names etc. I am an english teacher and i happened to be called Richard Canary (Dick Canary) yes, i know it sounds like dictionary but don't make fun.
My father once worked with a man named Harry Wiener. He worked in an office that shared one phone, so when somebody called it (an Indian woman whose job it was), she would call out the person's name. Unfortunately, she could never pronounce harry, and instead said it like 'hairy', hence the name Hairy Wiener.
There also was a women, whose last name was Cock. Her first name was technically Annetta, but when the Indian woman pronounced it, it was Aneeda Cock.
Lastly, there was man who was my uncle, before he got devorced by my aunt Mary. His name was Philip McCracken. (Fill up my crack in).
Don't know if this classifies as a funny name, but I always found it funny. There was a guy in my school whose name was Thomas Arkie Philip Marie Larthlalangladure. Not sure it's spelled correctly. Whether or not it's true, I can't confirm, but I don't recall him ever denying it. Also, I heard once that football's the Neville brothers father is called Neville Neville. Again, might not be true, just something I heard. Hope ya like them
has anyone seen the back of a copy of the Alien v Predator soundtrack because something funny caught my eye. The sequence programming and additional music was put together by none other than........Thomas Wanker. Just thought I'd drop by and say that
A few years ago, while at art college, we had a teacher called Mrs Adair, who had a son called Rupert, and yes, he went around wearing a yellow check scarf. Also my boyfriend's name is Lightfoot (which he has had to live down most of his life) and his sister recently married a Parlour, and I come from a long line of Smallwoods.
my full name is Ghizlaine (which is like jizz - lane) and ever since i was little and ppl couldnt say my name iv been called Ghizzy!! sound like a pornstar!!
also, ive been talkin to a guy called Eric Shaun - which if u say it fast sounds like Erection! lol!
enjoy x
I have just finished reading a book on the English civil war and came across this name Susanna Pyewhacket...now that's a name worth fighting over. I bet she was glad to get married, unless of course she was already married!
BB
I was in the TA (Terratorial Army) With a guy called Anthony Parts. He was a private. We used to cry with laughing come roll call and the sargent shouted out 'Private Parts!'
I'm a court reporter and often have to call out people's names in court over the paging system. Imagine my horror one day when I was asked to page in the arresting officer and when I checked the paperwork and went to page I struggled with the pronounciation. The officer's name was Kocksanewitz - sounded like Kock-sand-wich when I paged it. I could hardly keep a straight face.
Another time I had a guy come in and his name was Mr. Weiner. I pronounced it Wy-ner on his behalf thinking that surely the man didn't pronounce his name weiner. He corrected me and said, 'No, ma'am, the name is Weiner.' So when I arraigned him I had to arraign him as Mr. Weiner, you stand charged......
It's difficult to keep a straight face at times, considering the forum, but we do chuckle behind closed doors later on.
Had to share those.....
My friends sister is called Holly Wood which is fairly unfortunate, and also read a book who's author was called Push pesh Pants. What kind of name is that?! But is still pretty awesome. Enjoy guys. X
Well my cousin's last name is Maddick and his mums maiden name is Longbottom the uncle's surname is now cockton and they are all good friends with a family who's lastname is Backholer!!! what a line up!!!

there is a japanese boy who came to our school and he decided to change his name to fit in a bit more. His original name was Hyung-Shin, but he changed Hyung to Eric. Now he is called Eric Shin. He still doesnt get it. hahahaha
a guy in 7th form at my school is called Chris Peacock.

I went to school with a boy called Frank Enstein
There was also a Hazel Nutt who was born on Halloween.

I knew a Rose Bush with a sister called Holly. Then parents who really must have been so unadventurous Milly Miller, Kelly Kelly, Dave Davies and finally Bob Roberts (who i asumme must be Robert in full). Lastly are the ones who sound like they escaped from a Simpson prank: Eileen Wright and Ben Dover.
In response to someone else's post, i did have someone at my school called Andrew Peacock who always shortened his name to Drew
I was giving a training session in China recently and they love to take on Western names mixed with the whole philosophy of being exuberantly happy. One of my students was named Melody Wang and another was Smile Wang. I nearly peed my pants imagining a teacher on first day of class going 'has anyone seen Wang, Smile or heard anything about Wang, Melody?'
A friend of mine used to have a flatmate called Richard Spandit. Yeah, We didn't see the funny side of it either until his bank statement came through the door addressed to Mr. R.Spandit.
