Toss up between Woodcock and hornyblow 🤔

I also used to know an 'Annette Curtan' which always made me snigger.

Oh and the pig family.

Kunt , pronounced Koont but looks mildly amusing written down.

Mycock - teacher at my old school!
Throbhorne - colleague

Er, I know a male Snowball. Curious

Oddest surname?

Puckerin

managedmis · 08/09/2020 02:37

Ooh - sort of the same. Anyone with a surname spelt the same as mine is a relative - even the ones in Canada are traceable on our family tree.

Mine are rubbish compared to these but from my few years working in a call centre, the best names from this time were mr banana and a mr sultana. We had to say the customers name at least three times per call and it was so difficult with some hilarious names!

Thirder · 08/09/2020 04:42

Went through a database at work recently and spotted a Brownass.

Also, a Paradiso, which I'd like as a surname.

startalovetrain · 08/09/2020 04:52

A doctor I saw once was called Dr Acula and he actually took my blood Grin

A terrible yet memorable one that I can't understand why they'd keep is one from my call centre days over a decade ago - a Mr Stilborn. What a horrible surname.
