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?

Uncle Walt was Walter Walter. At least his middle name was George.

John Thomas was my maths teacher in high school and was also a prominent magistrate !

I was taught woodwork (?!) in high school by a sweaty man called Richard Richards.

A girl in my class in primary school had the surname 'Kerr', her brother was called Wayne Poor lad

Ex's grandmothers carer was called Eileen Dover, you, just wouldn't credit it would you ?!

Sorry about the random comma placement there !!!

wsm, we had a teacher in our school called Wayne Carr. Initials WC on top of it all.

My uncle was going to call his son Isaac. Not too bad, until you know their last name is Hunt!!!

I had a dentist once call Mr Payne..

Richard Head (wonder if its the same one martha) and Mike Hunt.

My dh honestly knows someone called Patrick Fitzpatrick. Irish naturally as is me hubbie before I get the Irish contingent throwing virtual handbags.

There is a wee boy at my sons nursery called Bill Bailey ("Won't you come home Bill Bailey, won't you come home......."

Used to have a boss called Finlay Doctor

Once came across a Chinese restarateur called Chew Chew
And know a little boy called Barnaby Rudge.

I went to school with a Theresa Green too! And worked with a guy called Chip Mitten.

I spent three minutes at a reception for new students at Harvard talking to a man whose name-tag told me he was called David Wank. Then I had to leave before I started to laugh. I didn't have the heart to advise him never to visit Britain.

dd2 swears there is a boy in her class called Abraham Lincoln. Apparently he is a child actor so that might be the reason for the name choice. They must have made up their minds he would love to be an actor as soon as they say him.

I knew of a German Jewish immigrant during the war who changed his obviously Jewish surname, as many did. He chose to change his name to Arnold Arnold.

Janstar, we have a George Washington currently.

We had a year group a few years back with two boys called Hassan Hassan.

i knew someone years ago with a daughter called Chelsea - surname Dun

Friend knew somone who called their daughter Fanny ....bad enough but their surname was Hymen!!

Was chatting about names in staffroom earler. One had a teacher called Miss Virgin, and taught biology!

Because of my surname I had a few names we couldn't choose as it sounded daft as a full name.

zippy539, your mum isn't an Aussie is she as I went to schoole with a Therese Greene?

Sorry HughJars, didn't mean to offend

My grandad was William Williams (known as Billy). I know of someone through work, who is Karen Taran.

There was a boy at our school (primary in the mid=late 70s) called Robert Robertson.

When my friend married she became Debbie Reynolds (and yes she does get jokes made every time someone sees her name!)

I heard there was a family in Possil (one of the most deprived areas in Glasgow) who named their daughter Pocahontas. The surname was really Scottish as well, something like McClure but I can't quite remember. The thing is that Possil has a really strong accent, think Rab C Nesbitt. So we were going round taking the mick of this poor child getting "Pocahontas, come in and get yer tea!"

A local dentist here is called Mr Chew.

A girl I went to school with had the surname Fish & married a lad called Pigeon. The congregation at the wedding actually sniggered when the minister said their names together.
