Weird Personal Names

Don't think so, Rose, I think the US equivalent is 'horny'??

What a pity old George didn't have the foresight to name his son Randy. I can just picture Trevor MacDonald saying "American president Randy Bush..." :D

(sorry - I'll get me dirty mac)

My Dad was friends years ago with a Robin Hood, and they were regularly pulled over by the police for speeding on their motor bikes, and the officer would always take him back to the station till his mum could bring his birth certificate to prove he wasn't winding them up.

Also a guy I used to go to school with, his name was, Terry Merry. it turned out that his Mum had re-married and given the kids their stepdads surname. I think his original surname was Bell.
and if you do frequent these boards - Hiya Terry!
 
I used to work in the Inland Revenue, and when bored, i'd type in swearwords to the National Insurance Database, to see what came up. there was a Pauline O' Shit (Deceased) A mr Cunt, and, Mr Lucifer Satan, Photograher (Unemployed) Millions of 'Normalish' names that sounded Vaguely rude too.

Not sure i should be telling this, i'm sure i signed the official secrets act or something.....

Oh, and i was operated on some years ago, by a Dr Christmas. i had a Visit whilst recuperating, from his Registrar, whilst all my mates were present, and evertime he said 'Dr Christmas' we just all burst out laughing (Which bloody hurt!)
 
:)

No protest from me Garrick - on this occasion the context is perfectly acceptable!

:cool:
 
There was an interesting 'name matches job' on Time Team last night. To date some timbers recovered from a dig in the City of London, they called on a dendrochronologist called Dr. Crone. (And, yes, she was a woman, not very young either... A name to grow into!)
 
1) The local surgery where I used to live boasted both a Dr Holmes and a Dr Moriarty -- neither was particularly pleasant, in fact the former once attributed muscle damage to my knee to "feeling a bit down".

2) My ex-boyfriend's father (also a GP) has the middle name Anully. Pronounced "anally".

3) At primary school I sat next to a Vietnamese boy named Thwang.

4) The Buffy TV credits list a Thomas Wanker and the Simpsons has a David Merkin, which is funny if you're me. Which I am.
 
My last dentist was called Mr Pang.
There used to be a journalist on Slimming Magazine called Patiance Bulkley (I always suspected it wasn't her real name)
 
I know I'm very late to this thread, but: there is a Crescent Dragonwagon, who is an antiques dealer, somewhere in the U.S. Also, many years ago, I had a boss named Billy Bob Dick

Just remembered that when I was a lecturer there were two blokes who taught as a team in Business Studies called Julian and Sandy. Which means something to anyone old enough to remember "Round The Horne", but knack all to everyone else. Dunno if they spoke the palare though...

I know a gay couple who are called Julian and Alexander (not shortened to Sandy, unfortunately). Both too young to know.

I have met a Violet Death (a friend of my gran).
 
I used to have to go to a Dr Savage. Fortunately, he was a nice middle-aged man.

On a TV gameshow a few years ago a contestant was asked the name of her children - Sam and Ella. The studio audience roared with laughter but the poor women just stood there looking confused at their response. I wonder if she ever did get the joke?

had some clients (work for a law firm, not clients in any other sense you understand!!!) once with the surname "CUND" very unfortunate oh and also a Mr and Mrs Onions, but they pronounced it O-Nyons, always reminded me of Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced bouquet!) - I'm sure there are more, but they are the first two to come to mind...:D
 
Teachers!

In one primary school we had a Mr Rumble, Mr Vent and our head was Mr Arkless (for some reason I always imagined his first name to be Noah)...

Also at senior school our PE teacher was Mrs Larch-Botham, although we always called her -- yes -- Mrs Large-Bottom. Poor woman.
 
We had a maths teacher called Mr. Arkless. Everyone called him Heartless, then he had a heart attack.

Nevermind

At the last school I went to, thankfully in the 1960's, the headmasters name was "Savage"!!!!!

I once worked with a Medical student called Tim Payne...........
 
I was in the Pere la Chaise graveyard in Paris and saw the headstone for a John le Fucker. Also, at school we had a Dr. Gentles and a Mr Hynde...

There's a comic artist in the states called Randy Queen, plus my partner has a customer called Hoggsflesh
 
I had a biology teacher called A. T. Mays. For those of you from the north east England, may remember a travel agents called that.

I also knew a first aider for Durham Police called Mr Slaughter and there was also a Superintentdent D'EATH.:cross eye
 
While working a job doing phone collections for a hospital, my partner and I had to phone people from a list (his last name by the way, was "Bland") and we used to get hysterical over some of them. I once called a woman listed as "Susan Kuntz"; trying to give her the benefit of the doubt, I pronounced it "Koontz" only to have her say in freezing tones "it's KUNT-Z!!". Also had to phone a non English speaking househould and ask for "Lesbia"!
And on another job, ran across a P. Jones, P standing for "Placenta" and a poor woman who liked the name on her newborn daughters wrist band and named her "Female" (rhymes with "Tamale")
 
Don't call him Harry

I once worked with a man named Harold Muff.....
 
I worked for a company which shall remain nameless, where we had a complete listing of the registered doctors in the UK. There was one Doctor De'Ath and many Doctor Paynes listed. In fact my ex-gremlin's doctor was a doctor Payne. I wish he had done her some now...
 
Oh almost forgot

I currently work with a lot of asian people. The head of shipping is named Phuc Soon.

There's also a woman in receiving named Mi-Pooh Soon.

We never even try to say their names.....
 
There is a solicitor's office in Wokingham, Berkshire called James Gay and Partner which caused many titters when we were all young teens. There's also a mountain in either Switzerland or Austria called Mount Titlis. Ahem.
 
There are two unfortunates I know whose surnames are Sithole and Backholer!
There is also a Kamthorn Chookitiumporn. Now wouldn't you just pay good money for a name like that? :D
