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

A Welsh name someone had seen and thought sounded pretty- Allanfa Dân. It means 'fire escape'.

Oh and a Dr Hu

I went to school with a Thomas Thompson

My daughter has a Jonathon Thomas known as John in her class, I suspect that was deliberate though (parents have that kind of sense of humour).

There is a (very smart) reporter who writes for the FT called Attracta Mooney.

My English teacher was Mrs Page!

I knew a guy in China named Yu Wanke, which would probably raise eyebrows in English-speaking countries...

And a friend worked for the police. There was a Paul Enis. Apparently the only PC to have his full name on his stab vest rather than initial and surname.

Shirley Worley (married name), which sounds kind of fun, but she was a fairly elderly very strict ex headmistress, not someone you could have a chuckle with about her name.

Man who cleaned my carpets once was called Wayne King.

I don't know if its still on there but there was a Living With Weird Names Film on Netflix and I loved it, 3 generations of men called Donald Duck.

Jalen-Jase

P..E teacher called Mr Ball.

Poppy Rose White (child’s full name)

There are also many guys called Hung Lo

We've heard a parent shout their child in the middle of a play area.. 'Tia Maria'

Also have a doctor called Dr Anal Banga

These are brilliant! Actually I forgot to say we know of an accountant called Crook and sons and a retired solicitor called Mr Fiddler who was apparently very genuine and had lots of loyal customers in his day!

Bankroll.

I wish I was joking.

Mary Christmas (younger girl at my school!)

Pam Snodgrass (mums friend)

Karen Hunt (K.Hunt- another of mums friends)

Bic (the pen brand- Chinese exchange student)

I once got sacked from a callcentre job for bursting out laughing over the phone when a customer told me his name was Ronald McDonald

And a friend worked for the police. There was a Paul Enis. Apparently the only PC to have his full name on his stab vest rather than initial and surname.

Yup, I knew a Phil Ennis.

Helen Shivers reading the Weather.

A. Waterdrinker who wrote a paper about alcohol abuse.

Wayne Kerr the painter and decorator.

Our gardener was called Tony Gardiner.

A friend taught twins called Christmas and Kingsley Shepherd.

Loads of William Williamses and David Davieses and Evan Evanses in Wales!

Another (real) Chinese one - Chester Zhu

Know of a family who had 3 sons. Their surname was Dick and one of the sons married a girl named Rhoda…

They all changed their surname to something else 😆

A girl at school called Fulya Bolluk. One day at assembly the class were being called to the stage by their surnames to receive certificates for something. There was an awkward pause before the headteacher decided to use Fulya's first name instead.

I went to school with an Isaac Hunt. No joke

Oh, I once met a Mr Dicwad.

I also worked with Dr D’eath and Dr Love.

Midwife: Nurse Tugwell
Physio: Mr Strain
Teacher; Mr Chalk
Nurse: Nurse Nurse (married to Mr Nurse)
Dentist: Dr Phang
All people I have known or who I have heard of!

Worked with a guy called Joe Kerr, his sister was called Anne

Also knew an Ian Carless who lost his licence for drink driving. The judge apparently sniggered.

None of these are made up!
