What is the most unusual surname you have heard.

[Noidea2114]

I'll start.
I went to school with someone called Crumplehome.

Badcock

@NameChange84

Kuntz poor girl

This isnt that unusual. I met one in Ireland and typed up her CV. A while later i met another and they werent related.

The only people I have met with my surname are my parents and sister. It is an old enough English name though as we have my Dad's family tree back to the 1600's.
There is however a cottage of this name and about 23 gravestones with it in Harby in Leicestershire.

Shakeshaft

Worms

Christmas
Shuttlebag

Love this thread.

I used to work with someone called Goodhead. I thought it would make a fabulous Bond character name. She was very prim and proper.

@Resisterance

I used to live with a friend who had the surname Bellringer

There's a London surgeon called Bellringer - a urologist.

Lillicrap
Rainbow
Pine-Coffin

Kuntz is a not so unusual German surname.It is pronounced more like Koonst though. Kunst is 'Art' in German

Penis (Portuguese) and Wanck (American)

Youren
Hoare

We have a lovely GP called Dr Hersh (pronounced Harsh) Kak. I always feel he should be a bowel specialist.

Wannabecheeky, not spelt like that ( Sri Lankan ) but pronounced that way.

Greatorex, that's an old English name apparently

Mines been mentioned - I've never met anyone not related with it

My maiden name - and no I'm not saying - but one of only about 180 in the country - and you will find it in the dictionary (no, not wanking). I used to work for a company who had a customer called Mr Brownjobs. Why TF would you not change your name?

Mrs Deadman,

Mrs Loveless......

Mrs Drain,

they made me so sad......think they lived in Staines as well.

Bumgardener. A friend's American boyfriend had it. I know there is a different spelling of Baumgardener, but his was definitely spelled Bum.

Drane. Definitely put me off anything serious with the guy.
I grew up near a family with the surname Jelly. They completely embraced it and one of their children was Kelly!

Remember another

Twink.

It was another delegate at a conference I attended and I remember sniggering like a pathetic school kid at it

Dikshit (Indian and fairly common there)

I'm the only person other than my husband with our surname in the UK (maybe even world???).

It's not amusing though, just I have a reasonably rare surname and we've double barrelled so the chances of anyone having the same are teeny tiny. But yes, great for getting email addresses!

Caunt

Changa-Changa

My dentist was Mr Beaglehole.

Years ago when I worked in a bank there was someone with the surname Dragonrider.

These are notable because they match the persons job rather than being unusual, but I know of two doctors specialising in bowel & Gastro issues - one called Dr Rakshit, the other’s full name was Asad Butt.

Wankoff. Poor woman.
