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)

I knew a Donald McDonald.

And, whilst living in Scotland I met a Dougie Glen. Isn't that the most scottish name ever?

Mr W Ankerson
Rose Plant
Mr Cocking the gynaecologist
Iona McIntosh

Husband has told me about a boy in his school - James Bates. It was always a challenge for the other boys to shout ‘master!’ in the middle of his name whenever it was called out in class...

Long time ago there used to be a vet registered with the RCVS called Everard Cock.

My great grandmother was a Rose Plant.

Ex BF mum was Gladys Harris and his sister was Lynda Liddament. DD knew a girl called Rayne Bew-Lily.

Oboe teacher - Miss Blower.

Just remembered Tom Harris (middle name Dickon)

Jane Lane (married into this surname and always laughs about it)

Headly Dick - seriously. A lamb to the slaughter after becoming a secondary school teacher.

My dad had brain surgery by Dr De’Ath. My mum knows someone called Shirley Shirley it’s her married name. And I know a male and female Jo King. All quite tame really.

When my dh was at uni, there was a person called shithaed. Pronounced shi-thay-ed. The lecturer doing a register for the 1st study group hesitantly just read out shit-head, obviously they couldn’t think how else to pronounce it. Pretty embarrassing all round.

When my cousin started nursery like 17 years ago there was a boy called Toabis Bentley & Narchella. Didn’t make me laugh but Iv never forgot about them

Holly Day

Oh and my best pals auntie

Annette Ball (she married into that name tho)

My lovely grandma was Doris Norris.

The Rose Plant I knew was in NY in the mid 80s working at a v famous investment bank. Same one?

Very late to the party here but couldn't not share.

Hand on heart, my sisters uni flatmate is called Tuna Kunt. She's Turkish. Sister didn't believe her until she saw her passport. Has now decided to stay in the UK permanently so in the process of changing her name!

I came across a Rosemary Salt before which gave me a giggle!

my dp has a great auntie and uncle called fanny and willie. Not even joking.

also isabelle bell. so bell bell.

A Crystal who married a Mr Dymond.

Went to school with a Kris Kristofferson and worked with a Steve Stevens.

I'd also like to know why Alicia Douvall named her baby Papaya

@Awwlookatmybabyspider that actress wasn't born Tuesday, she changed it. God knows why she had a nice name

Dick Longstaff. He was a shooting instructor. Just brilliant.

Known two Jo Kings and a Lee King.

I remember years ago on the kids TV show ‘Knightmare’ one of the winning teams was lead by Dickon Hare.

I was married by the Rev Pagan!

Tree Bush.
No joke.
Her parents were hippy dippy types, their last name was Bush and her first name was Tree.
