What are the funniest names you've heard of?

[starsandstuff]

I once worked with a person who'd gone to school with a girl called Myrtle Turtle. I have never stopped loving that.

Any others?

(Not in the spirit of taking the piss out of people's choices, more in the sense of acknowledging parents' genius)

Customer at work called Donald McDonald. Clearly the parents liked the name so much it was imposed on him twice

When I was a nursery school there was a girl called Crystal Belle, I thought it was the most beautiful name I'd ever heard.
I knew a Jaffa Djaffa
A girl at school called Vagina

Oh please can someone link to the Balonz thread I need a giggle

My best friend at Primary School was Fung Ying Ho. I thought it was an amazing name.

We turned up first day at High School and her name was changed to Anne. I was so upset.

Also when I was graduating and was nervous as hell about walking up in front of everyone the lad's name called before mine was "Hin Too Houdini Wu" which caused me to nervously snort with laughter. I'm not sure why, I think it was the Houdini.

When I was a child I knew a girl called Mystery. I thought her name was just wonderful. Mystery.

I went to school with Ronnie Rennie.

My dad went to school with a Candy (presumably Candace) Cane. Also a John T. Monster who used to joke that his middle name was "the".

Lex Posthumous

Bow Tighe - nearly fell off my chair

mimi I went to school with one too!!

My husband used to work with someone who was named after the first words his mother and father said as he was born. I give you ... Shit Howdy.

I know a Jenny Taylor too. She’s now married - that was her maiden name. Also Teresa Brown, Chris Cross and siblings Maxwell and Wendy - surname House.

There's a neuroscientist called Dick Swaab.

HipHip was he from the Netherlands?

There was a Luvly Jubille at DDs nursery. Used to make me think of Del Boy.

There’s a gynae called Dr Starin. Not joking.

I went to school with a David Davies, someone I used to work with was scaled Scott Brown but when he was young his dad died, mum got remarried and partner adopted him so they double barrelled his surname... Scott Brown-Scott. Why! . I also worked with a Tom Jones. Good friends with a Steve Irwin too!

Reminds me of a gynaecologist I worked with called Dr Loverock

I knew a Susie Woosey. It was her married name as well so she'd willingly taken that.
She used to laugh about it herself.
I also knew a Morag Mole which I thought was very cute but she was less keen on.

I came across a musician called John Thomas Willey - he was a fiddler in the Sadlers Wells ballet orchestra many years ago.

There was a church choir in Victorian London called the Choir of Our Souls.

A composer called Samuel Schiedt who wrote a piece called "The Dump."

There's a road in Oxford named after a professor of music whose name was William Crotch - Crotch Crescent.

In my previous customer service job I came across Buck Rogers, John Johnston and James Bond.

My nan’s elderly neighbour is called Michael Jackson. He predates ‘the’ Michael Jackson but as kids we used to think it was really funny.

Oh and also I was doing some genealogy and discovered a Fanny Smelt.

a wee girl I once knew called Crystal Button
Does she have a sister called Poppy, or is the country secretly full of Button Families?
