The funniest real names you've heard!

[CityCommuter]

A Vodafone door to door salesman was doing the rounds on our road earlier with the latest offers that aren't available online apparently... anyway he left his business card and when I saw his name I had to LOL as it was Robin Crowe! His family must love bird names

Gynaecologist called Dr Openeye....

I knew a Joe Kerr when I was a kid

I knew a Anette Curtain

My sister went to school with a boy called Leyland Morris and in my friend’s class there was a girl called Annette Curtain

Carol Singer (married name)
And also Holly Bush (another married name) 😂

Loooooong long ago when I worked for exam boards we used to see a lot eg Hammond Heggs..

There was a Dr Blood, biology teacher. Mr Hacker I.T teacher and Mrs Ovens the school cook, all at the same school.

I work with a Liz Taylor! And I also have a cousin called Jenny Taylor

I've met loads of people with terrible or funny names. One of my favourites is Bernhard Wanko.

I was once tasked to call and check if there was a prankster placing orders, there wasn't. BJ in the Oral Department was actually a Bridget Job. (hello Bridget if you're reading!)

A doctor called Dr Pawley.

Someone that was called Michael Hunt and insisted that I didn't call him Mike.

An ex colleague whose surname was Forsdick.

A past colleague called Nicholas Muff

First I just giggled at the surname then when I said the whole name together I realised just how funny it is. The poor man, didn’t his parents realise!

My mums avon lady when we were kids was Nora Willy - but then she changed it to Wylie!

My old dentist was Dr. Payne.
Teaching student Miss Pleasant.
Another teaching student who sensibly changed their name from Dick.
I work with an army man called Fright- sadly not a Major.
We've dealt with a kid called Wanqing- pronounced as you would imagine.

I also went to school with:
Jo Kingman
Felicity "Flick" Inker
Jackie Chan,
Boadicea Rose
Vienna Butt
Ben Raper
E Clare
Many Chinese and Korean pupils took an English name. We had a Sinbad, for example. As I was leaving the school, my housemistress was corresponding with an incoming pupil from China, suggesting she might choose an English name; she was called YoYo.

As customers:
Mrs Christmas,
Mr & Mrs Kitkat,
Miss Fancy
Miss Smellie

I also know someone with the maiden name of Vile. Had a rather alliterative name overall and people thought it was a drag queen name or a joke!

I also came across the 30s & 40s European actor: Rudolf Wanka.

There was a contestant on masterchef Australia called Yoyo

At the hospital where I trained there was a Mr. Payne and a Dr. De'ath, both working in the dental department.

My primary school teacher was Mrs Pratt.

(And we lived near Pratts Bottom)

I actually have a name that matches my profession. In the same vain as being called Mrs Tokyo and teaching Japanese for a living.

I find it hard to believe that so many people claim to know someone called Mike hunt. There are only 179 people registered with that name in the whole of the US.

I've only known a couple of odd names. One was a man who booked into my training session called Laurie Driver, and the other a woman called Sue Gotobed.

I went to school with a Theresa Green who’s married name was brown!
My sil married Dave Davis.
My friend married a chap whose name was Jon Oscar Gaunt and his post used to come addressed to Jon O Gaunt!

Nominative determinism

I've known more than one Ewan Kerr. Both very common names in these parts 😆

Peter Pine -Coffin

John Bodger (Architect)

Went to school with Ewan Kerr (how did his parents not see this???!!)

@ERFFER

People who say their name is Coburn, but we ALL know it’s COCK BURN

The girl across from me called her baby boy “Neon” !?

All the nurses said “Leon? Neil? “
And composed themselves very well ..

Yes! And Shufflebottom, it’s not Shuffle Bo-them it’s SHUFFLE BOTTOM 🤣

I don't get Ewan Kerr?
