There's a Randy Bender in DH's Californian office. And a Luong Dong.

Was at college with a Jago Kitkat!

PMSL at this. I love Ivana Crack-Check and Kuntz.

I used to work (at the Gas Board when there was such a thing!) for a Dave Dick

Desiderata · 26/02/2008 19:46

I had a boss whose son made a living giving piano lessons. One of his clients was called Kunt.

To make matters worse, his initial was A.

I used to have a flatmate whose surname was Cockhead.

Guess what Thomas Crapper invented. The toilet. I was waiting for someone to mention my surname as above with an o instead of a and the butt of many jokes.

Chegerty, your college chum has resurfaced!

Teacher at DS's last school was Mr P Harder

ScubaDuba · 27/02/2008 18:33

Once heard of a woman at work called Mrs Cockhead. Also, Diaper is a little unfortunate (especially in USA).

zebedee1 · 28/02/2008 14:01

My music teacher at school was called Mrs Raper

zebedee1 · 28/02/2008 14:04

oh yes and there is a lady at work called Pinky Kok

Melpomene, PMSL at Cockhead!

An ex of mine went to school with twins called Peter and Andrew. So far so boring...their surname was Nurse, so they were P.Nurse and A.Nurse!

twirlymum · 27/03/2008 22:13

Someone at work has the surname Cockaday. That's unfortunate. I went to college with a guy named Wesley Hiscock, Wes for short. He changed it by deed poll to something forgettable.

booge · 27/03/2008 22:15

My married name has been mentioned, I still use my maiden name in the main.

JamSamBam · 27/03/2008 22:30

i had a maths teacher called Mr Backholer...very funny name...

my dads real surname was Death...

SleepIsForTheWeak · 27/03/2008 22:40

I also knew a Cockburn

But had a rep come in once whose name was Dick Kiss.
Even printed liek that on his business card. I do wonder whether his parents called him Richard or Dick!

my dps delivers to the planks who live opposite the pratts and sometimes theres a note on the door to leave the parcel with the pratts opposite

AHLH · 28/03/2008 10:17

Had a teacher by the unfortunate name of Richard Fallas.

I know a Pratt who married a Wright, I know that their children are double barrelled, but not sure which way!

And Miss Venus at school had a really hard time from the 1500 teenagers who found her name hilarious.

Have also come across a Bedggood and a Raper.

Wasn't there something in the paper a few years ago about a baby boy christened Drew Peacock?

AHLH · 28/03/2008 10:20

I want the same name as the babe due in September, so I am in the process of adopting my DH's name. I'll be Alice Cooper! Been married 8 years, but not changed name til now.

ExtraFancy · 28/03/2008 10:23

I spoke to a man at work called Paul Mycock once

Fullmoonfiend · 28/03/2008 10:26

bastard is a traditional cornish name I believe.
We have a man in town who owns a shop. His surname is Twatt (Twwwarrrr, is how he prnounces it)

I have seen a fair few Uryns round here

Fullmoonfiend · 28/03/2008 10:27
