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

Addictions doctor called "Dr Cocaine"

The patients must think wtf!

Only catching up with this thread now and can't believe the way it has taken off! Your posts are absolutely brilliant and a lot are bloody hilarious 😂 😂 If anyone needs cheering up and is need of a good laugh I guarantee this thread will cheer you right up and you'll feel much better!

@Bekind2yourself that reporters name is so apt for the petrol shortage story! They must have chosen him deliberately surely?

At a funeral my nana kept calling the vicar
Vicar Bishop! Thought it was a bit weird and OTT but that was his name !

I was at school with Iona Foot.
Also knew a lady called Shirley who married a Mr Shirley and became Shirley Shirley.

Dick Bell.

When I was at school there was a boy called Joe King. I also know a Stephen Stevens.

Oh, and a Richard Head (who uses the nickname Dick) 😂

Some common police ones.

We had a little boy at my old work place whose first middle and last name was mohammed, so he was "mohammed mohammed mohammed".

I used to volunteer with a Jenny Taylor who didn’t get the joke. DH now works with a Christopher Peacock who doesn’t use Chris.
I also have a colleague called Christian Grey which just goes to show that your nice normal name may suddenly become funny! He takes it all in his stride though….

@FrenchFancie I actually don't get the Jenny Taylor one! Maybe I haven't woken up properly

I've known loads of Jenny Taylors over the years and it's only on MN I've ever encountered the whole "Genitalia" thing.

I assume it's because they either can't say either Taylor or talia correctly. It's not even the same amount of syllables. Jenny ends with a strong ee sound, the "i" of geni is a short "ih". Tay - luhr is how Taylor is pronounced vs Tay-lee-yuh or Tayl-yuh if you have lazy diction.

Anyway, it's one of the most daft ones that comes up regularly on here and the one lots of subsequent posters always reply to saying "I don't get it". I once saw "I don't get it and my name is Jenny Taylor!"

Our lovely GP is Dr Harsh Kak. Sadly he is not an authority on bowel complaints.

A child in DCs class called Paris Franze

But the absolute best (worst?) was Jenny Taylor.....only realised when I had to say her name out loud!

I'm glad someone explained the Jenny Taylor one

I wasn't getting it either. I'm

This was on the news and it wasn't a joke!

Met a Carly Farley years ago.
Had a lovely patient when I worked down south called Comfort Golightly.
I know a Will Smith and a Jeremy Fisher.
But my favourite was the woman who always announced her name on the phone and then spelled it out. Her name was Speller.
