In rl, I have come across a Michael Hunt and a William Cock. What on earth their respective parents were thinking, I don't know.

I laughed a lot too - I have a very childish sense of humour

And I was weeping with laughter when the newsreader (clearly knowing that it was funny in English) called him Teeny Kox instead.

notdrowningjustwaving · 09/03/2012 17:15

One was a client.

I hated having to say, "You need to call Mike Hunt".

dollymixtures · 09/03/2012 17:37

I used to work with someone called Keith Moist.

"could I have a word with Mr Moist please?" made me bite my cheek every time Grin

Our local phone directory had an R Sole listed. Come on parents, what the fuck were you thinking, you clowns?

I knew a Dick pitt.
And also a jenna Taylor.

LauraShigihara · 09/03/2012 17:49

My DH was on the phone to work the other day, discussing a colleague called Mike Hunt. He must have used the name twenty times in the course of the call.

He had his deadpan serious face on while I rolled about laughing on the bed, pleading quietly 'Don't say it again, no don't say it again - hahahahahaha'. DH was utterly oblivious, the prawn.

Roseformeplease · 09/03/2012 17:49

Once came across a Roger Rear!

xshevix · 09/03/2012 17:50

I knew a man with the surname Orefice (Spanish or somesuch)

notdrowningjustwaving · 09/03/2012 17:53

Me to colleague: "Mike Hunt needs your help".

RubyFakeNails · 09/03/2012 17:57

I can't remember how it was spelt but knew a guy called Lars De Cock (Coque maybe?) he was south african.

His accent really made it sound exactly how it shouldn't. People used to laugh in his face. He never could see why it was so hilarious.

cocolepew · 09/03/2012 17:57

When I was at school, there was a boy called Ivor. I spent 5 minutes making fun about what his surname could be. It was Payne Blush.

PingPongBallsRMoving · 09/03/2012 17:59

YANBU - I laughed too Grin
