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.

I remember a chap at university whose surname was Gaylord, I bet he was teased for that, poor thing!

Mr boathead. He was a supply teacher!

Nurse Wigglesworth - a real nurse, not a Barbara Windsor character in a forgotten Carry On film.

@Mummatron3000 I also knew a Gaylord at University. You weren’t at Bristol in 97-2000 were you?

There was a teacher on the isle of man called Mr Shaw-Twilley

I also worked with a Kate Phillips and she was marrying a Michael Noble and I begged them to hyphenate (Phillips Noble / out loud sounds like Phillip Snowball)

I can’t stop laughing at these! Dr Doctor and Nurse Wigglesworth! Ha ha

Also can’t believe that Gaylord is an actual name - poor boy 🤣

I went to university with an Alison Hooker!

Miss A Hooker .... just what were the parents thinking?

@MyOtherProfile

I once met a man called Mr Cakebread.

Some 45 or so years ago, my Dad used to work with a woman called Mrs.Cakebread. she always used to give me a biscuit (from one of those selection boxes that had pink wafers, jammy dodgers and party rings).

My favourite was a client I once had called Mr Honeybunch. Such a cute name, but he was the most miserable git

@Aquamarine1029

There was a Dr. Foote near my town. He was a podiatrist.

Also remember years ago being in a travelodge/similar establishment in the days when they had phone books. Locally was Mr.Payne the dentist, and Dentith & Dentith (also dentists).

Had a customer once called Mr Dickless.

I had to phone a finance company in front of him and give them his details, and of course they were absolutely pissing themselves laughing when I told them his name, while I'm desperately trying to keep a straight face.

I worked with an lovely lady called Miss World. In her sixties she married for the first time to Mr Christmas.

Lots of Willeys round where I live. Think there's safety in numbers tho because almost every school class has one!

I ask know a family of Cheeses and Christmases

All names already mentioned but I have also met a Mrs Cakebread and a Mr Godbehere. There was a Miss Hoare at my secondary school, she got married while I was there and changed her surname straight away. And there was a family at my primary school called Cockburn (Coburn) I was too young to snigger over it at the time but I'm sure they had grown tired of people joking/mispronouncing it

@suegeneris I think we went to the same school

Mr Bloodsworth
Ms Gateshead
Mrs Fuchs (yep, pronounced Fucks. So 'Do you know Ann Fuchs?')
Mr Waterwilly
Mr Cravingpipe
Mr Dipschit

Also
Mrs Merrybottom

Mr Snowbottom

Ms Winterbottom

Mr Junglejugg

I’d love a surname like Truelove or Honeybunch. But, working in a secondary school I’m quite happy that I have a boring surname 🤣

Article in the British Medical Journal many years ago - author a urologist by the name of Miss Legge-Bagge.

Cue some mocking letters -actually published (different times) - and subsequent angry ripost from said urologist.

The Handcocks
Mr Hancock
Mr Cummings
The Mountbattens
The Battenburgs
Mrs Culpepper
Mr Relish

Johnson, for a man who cannot keep it in his trousers.

@RumHoney - S, with the purple uniform?

I was there 1988-1995. My son now is doing all kinds of different stuff in year 8 music ( different area) — all I remember is spending 5 years singing musicals with Mrs Chadwick on the piano!

My sons were at school with children with the surname Adcock.

At my school we had a Mr Cod, Mr Peach, Mrs Leek and Mr Alcock.
