Strange Surnames

[Backtoblack1]

Used to work in customer services. Three surnames have never left my brain:
Mrs Wildgoose
Mr Gotobed
Mr and Mrs D’eath.

Please share the weird and wonderful surnames you own or have heard. Apologies if your surname is one I’ve listed.

Our old GP was Dr. Pepper, the DCs were gutted when we changed surgeries.

Just remembered, the chap that bought our last house off us was a Mr Cool.

There’s a Lady Garden in the House of Lords.

There's an MP whose surname is ' Woodcock ' apparently its name meaning is ' a stupid or gullible person '

There's a few over in the other room too. 🤔

Showing my age here but there's an episode of knightmare that was won be a kid called ' Dickon Hares'

That was is actual name.

No word of a lie, the episode is on YouTube........I mean I'm all for character building but what the hell were his parents thinking 😳

I also know a chap called Cakebread. It's an occupational name along the lines of Smith and Fletcher, but rarer.

My sister once knew a Mrs Sidebottom, whom absolutely insisted it was pronounced 'See-der butt-ome'. Yes, of course, dear. Run along now.

There was a story on Twitter earlier this year about an American fellow called D'Artagnan Rasberry. That takes some beating.

How very Hyacinth.

My great auntie was Mrs Wildgoose. It'd be strange if it were the same person.

The student midwife who helped during my ds birth 17 years ago had a double barrelled name. I won't say the full name but one of them was "Crotch".

Old boss was Mr Wildgoose, wonder if theyre related

This was Bristol area - I can still picture the old lady now. She actually did look a bit like a wild goose bless her x

We have a family of "truh-bil-coes" at work, Treblecock to the rest of us. Also a couple of Hancocks, which someone mistakenly wrote as Handcock. My favourite was when I had the police over to a flat I lived in, and the officer said at the end of a long conversation, "well, I'll give you my name, you won't forget it. Sergeant Orgee" (I think that's how it was spelt) He was lovely.

My old dentist was Mr Dentith

And a friend had a university professor called Prof. Dagger

I've come across a Handysides and a Gotobed too.

I can't say I am keen on either but they are certainly memorable.

I had a business contact called Mr Dikshit

At secondary school, had a teacher known as “Timberdick” - Mr Woodcock

My husband has just shown me what's all over Twitter at the moment. Jack Nicklaus's granddaughter has just married a chap called... Todger Strunk!

My 5th year form tutor at Secondary (year 11 in new money?) was called Mrs Woolcock.

Was a running joke that the boys in the class wouldn't have had wool ones, she was an absolute stunner!!

I had a client with the surname Dick. Every time I called her, without fail, the receptionist would say to me “...and how do you spell the surname?”

Used to deal with a customer called Mr Cockburn and he would get very annoyed if anyone made a mistake and didnt pronounce it Coburn

Once met a Mr Wanklin. Poor chap!

I met a woman at an academic conference whose surname was Glass-Coffin. I really like it - slightly morbid.

There’s an American football player called Brad Smelley. The NFL is a feast of weird and wonderful names.

@justgeton hahahaha 😂
