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 Grin

Once come across a guy called Wayne Carr! His name suited his personality perfectly 😂

Exh had a Dutch colleague named Ruud Kok. Which apparently in Dutch is a completely normal name.

I've altered these obviously but I know someone who is married to someone with the same first name. Like andi brown and her husband Andy brown.....they style it out.

A friend of mine was at uni with Elvis Safari.
I had a teacher called Mrs Fart (her husband was German) which she changed to Vart, not much better.

Worked with Dr Rough - who wasn't and Dr Earwicker - pronounced Erica
At school Benjamin Downe who got fed up with the teasing and eventually used his middle name instead. Also Christopher Peter Bacon.

IReallyLikeCrows · 23/09/2021 18:44

I used to deal with a woman called Emma Royds and a man called Rodney Bastard. Thinking he'd probably pronounce it B'stard, like Rik Mayall in The New Statesman, I said it that way the first time talked to him. "No, it's Bastard," he said. A man who happily owned his name. I think the fact that his first name was Rodney made it funnier.

There was also a client called Mr D'eath but I never got to speak with him.

My friend went from field to wood when she married!

Roxy69 · 23/09/2021 19:05

There was a Donald McDonald I briefly knew. Couldn't understand that at all.

Zilla Starbuck
Cherry married Mr Pie

WendyMAD · 23/09/2021 19:51

I know a pair of dentists called Beatham & Stabbins. And estate agents called Doolittle & Dally.

And so many gardening experts have such appropriately rural surnames! Pippa Greenwood, Bob Flowerdew, Alan Titchmarsh.
