I have just come across someone who proudly bears the name of Buckmaster de Wolf. It is the awesomest name I have ever heard! Does anyone have any similar awesome names?

Fanny Rusty Smith.
Who does that to their child.

This will lower the tone, but in my last workplace there was a chap in the New York office by the name of Gaylord Bumgardner.

There was a seminar at my work some years ago by a guy called Wellcome Bender. I wonder if these two are friends?

I work with Vicky angel - not sure if she knows shes a Jacqueline Wilson character, not mentioned it, yet!

I am snorting at Andy and Mandy Spong GrinGrinGrin

BikeRunSki · 24/04/2017 21:23

Brother and sister called Stephen and Stephanie.

Kilkerran · 24/04/2017 21:24

I should add it's the Spong that's tickled me. I am sure they are both lovely people and no offence is intended.

ShatnersBassoon · 24/04/2017 21:30

I like Andy and Mandy Spong too!

I know of a doctor called Harsh Kak. By rights he should be an expert on constipation.

I know a Gabriel Featherstone, which I think is nice!

I recently met a very posh lady called lavender Scaramanda - another Bond villain - She told me to call her bunny though!

BellMcEnd · 24/04/2017 21:37

My friend worked with a Shula Peacock.

I know someone called Moon Cruz which sounds like a special Valentines dinner n dance on a boat.

My R.E teacher was called (I shit you not) Mary Nazereth. I always wondered if her middle time was Of. Grin

pineappleeyes · 24/04/2017 21:39

I knew someone called prince commander

CoffeeAndOranges · 24/04/2017 21:42

Tricky Harsh Kak is my favourite so far!

I know of an Edryd Goodspeed which sounds incredibly epic, like a knight on a trusty steed.

imip · 24/04/2017 21:44

I worked with a lady called Joocy Lam and our regional head was Mama Yoda.

ammaismyhero · 24/04/2017 21:48

In a similar vein to Iona McIntosh, I know an Iona Swann.

And then there's Dr Peeper, a gynaecologist (what else?) in the US.

badhotfanny · 24/04/2017 21:50

Kyle Klingsick

Johnny Monument

Snooky Wang

LumelaMme · 24/04/2017 21:59

A friend taught a kid called Wayne King. Just don't say it quickly.

I think my surname is a pita, then I meet people called things like Woodcock, Glasscock and Lillicrap, and count my blessings.

ShatnersBassoon · 24/04/2017 22:05

I knew a Jo King. As a child, I used to wonder why she didn't stick with Joanne to avoid people thinking her name was funny. With hindsight, WTF were her parents thinking?!

HeidiSpeidi · 24/04/2017 22:08

I've got a Dr Tickle at my GP surgery. DS loves it

Mulberry my mum once spoke to a lady called Mrs Dickshit who pronounced it Dicks Hit Grin

My personal all time favourite is Poppy Buttons. If you're reading this Poppy I have genuine name envy

ElizabethLemon · 24/04/2017 22:12

Ursula Goodenough-an American scientist. She's a very interesting lady and what an awesome name!

Sadik · 24/04/2017 22:20

"A welsh lady called Wolf Blaidd"
Even more bizarre given that Blaidd is the Welsh for wolf . . . (which brings back happy memories of small dd coming home from school creeping up behind me reciting "beth y'wr amser, Mr Blaidd Grin )

Not me, but a friend did cold calling in the States as a holiday job. He said he really, really struggled to keep a straight face while talking to Mr Randy Pecker.

I'm sure it's an adopted name, but there's a rather cool artist who goes by Ming de Nasty (say it . . .)

EmmaWoodlouse · 24/04/2017 22:20

Not someone I've met, but a lovely name I once saw on a war memorial (WWI, so I've always imagined he was born around 1890): Tempest Crabbe.
