Funny names

[Posey]

I hope to goodness I don't offend anyone but the other thread got me thinking of funny names I've come across and wonder if you've got any corkers to share.

The ones I can remember off the top of my head are:
Rose Bush (a lifeguard at my ex-local pool)
Dr. Nurse
Barry Raspberry (both doctors I worked with)
John Thomas (a patient)
Dickie Fluck (a friend of a friend)

Any more genuine ones?

My Mum was in hosp with a Mrs Pipe and her son Dwayne.

My Uncle who worked in TV, knew a strange chap who had children called Bob, Ben, Neil and Ida... their surname was Down.

The worst one was a Mrs Pickles who called her son Branston! He had MS and she wanted people to laugh at his name rather than his disability.

I went to school with an Emma Dale.

Clients of my father were Terry and Sherry McCherry.

That will do for now!

My next door neighbour is called Mr Phillip Enis!lol you'd think his parents would have thought of that before naming there child!lol

Friend's boss was Richard Head.

Phil McCavity

Elaine Crapper

This is the gods honest truth.

My DH used to work with a Mrs Gotobed (Go to bed)

teacher...single......
surname mells

say it quickly....what would the kids call her

(not me btw!!)

went to school with a boy whos surname was bates and the one teacher insisted that every girl was called miss and boy called master followed by there surname
dont think the teacher ever caught on though

ROFL at them all

Just remembered another.
The registrar of births, deaths and marriages in Bournemouth in the 1960s had wonderful, large handwriting, with a beautiful signature. Just a shame he didn't realise sooner how bad it would be in years to come.
His name was William Ankers, but he just signed his initial for his first name.

Our dentist - Mr Pick
A gardener who used to work for dh - Mr Moss

My mother, an ex-teacher, is a rich source for funny names amongst her pupils, eg:

My dh is a historian and once came across (sorry!) an eighteenth century couple whose surname was Sexe who had a daughter called Constant... He was also at a school where they called children by surname, using initial if there were siblings. In his class were A Nurse and P Nurse.

Teresa Green. (married into the name)

Ohh also

A. Paine
Hugh Paine (YOU Pain!)

mummytojames - one of my friends had that surname, and one of our teachers had the same policy - poor lad

DH comes across several strange names. He has recently had Albert Hll. His best one is Fungus the Bogeyman - changed his name be deedpoll - into buying property he was.

More: William Urine, Digory Geek, Fairfax Fishwick. Also in about the 1750s in rural Devon in one parish there were SIX children baptised called Marhalalahashbaz...

And Constant Sex died an old maid.

Not as rib-tickling as the others but I used to mark GCSE papers and my boss was called Mr Markham

Minty Dick

My sister used to work with a man called Peter File (paedophile) and when I came to view the house I now live in there was a painting on the wall by T Watt - which had me howling 'cos he painted like one!!!!

Gerald and Geraldine O'Gerald once rented us a cottage in Ireland
