What is the most unusual surname you have heard.

[Noidea2114]

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

Just remembered two more who live in my village, probably not that odd compared to some on here but:
Snow
Garlick

There was a person whose surname was Oddie and their first name began with an N. I really wish I was making this up (80s).

A supply teacher asked us to put our initial and surname on the work we had done, then proceeded to bollock the class for pissing around with names and said who wrote Noddie? He actually checked the register as he didn't believe a parent would call their child N Oddie.

I worked with a Crank and a Crump! Also a woman whose first name was Gay.

I quite fancy changing mine to Garrideb.

Mine..it ends in bear 🐻

At school I had teachers called Toogood and Goodenough, which always amused me!

Mines one of these! Gets many comments

Met a Mr Meshitter once.

Also, a few years ago worked with a Dr Shipman who was in gerontology at the time, unsurprisingly he would introduce himself as "Dr Mike" to his patients

@MellieNelba

Pine-coffin He was from Stoke then years later met another Pine-coffin from Norwich.

I’ve also met a few Pine-Coffin, in Warwickshire. Also Rainbow and Sunshine.

I feel these could be the new series of 'Mr Men' characters!

I also had a teacher called Mr. Pratt.

I've met a Bitchiner

Some of these names are brilliant.
I know a Cakebread too. Thought they were joking...
Jelley (love this one)
My Mum's maiden name was very unusual. I suspect a spelling mistake a couple of generations ago as it's hugely similar to a more conventional name (but still uncommon)

I had a dentist once called Dr Paine 😲

Pine Coffin.

I didn't really believe it when I saw it in the phone directory of the large company where I was contracting but not long afterwards I saw a quote in the Evening Standard attributed to that name.

I suppose it could still have been a joke but if so, it was a a good and very elaborate one.

Aaaaaand I've just scrolled up from my post on the last page and seen that others got there ahead of me .

RTFT!

Ah well, at least my eyes weren't deceiving me.

Honestly. Bastard. Think it could be produced barstard. Nice chap

Ha - my surname has been mentioned! Did not think it was that weird.

But I have met
Boggins
Dick
Paradise
Shockbolt (my physics teacher)
Bump

There used to be a dentist in our town called Dr De'Ath. I loved that.

I taught a kunt
Lovely girl and thankfully had good sense of humour about it, you'd have to wouldn't you ?

I once had a boyfriend who's name was Going.

A teacher called Mrs Pratt.

A neighbour called Dickson.

Someone in my class called Mycock and he was told off by a supply teacher when we wrote our names on a sheet for them. There was a few Ben Dover and similar on the list.

Old boss and a separate friend of a friend were called Hoare. One said Ho-err, the other just went for it.

Lovelady - the dad really lives up to his name 😜

Chipchase

A friend of mines surname is Floater.

@Topseyt

I once knew of someone with the surname Gotobed too.

I am amazed that they kept the name, to be honest. I would find it embarrassing and awful.

Why would you change it? Reminds me of 'Carrie's War'. Love all these rare names. Much more interesting than 'Smith'. Use to know a Clutterbuck which is similatly traditional.

I'll add myself to the list of people who know a Snowball. I once worked with a woman with the surname Phoenix which I thought was fabulous.

I actually know a Gotobed too!

She married into the name!

I've taught so many kids with amazing names, but can't remember them all. Umar Butt and Deep Tank were particularly memorable though.
