There was a boy (or girl?) at one of my kids' schools called Hunter Fisher.

I used to work with someone called Robin Banks.

My brother worked with someone called Wireless Cadogo.

I have a friend whose surname is Holding and her husband is Cox. She doesn’t want to take on his name and she doesn’t want to double barrel it.

I worked with someone in California called Sue King-Cox. ;)

My wife knew someone called Marlon in China. Apparently, one day he was addressing some factory workers in the south of China and decided to try a bit of Cantonese. When he said (in Cantonese) “My name is Marlon”, they all started giggling. Apparently Marlon sounds like the Cantonese for Horse's Penis. :D

One of the servers I met in an airport shop in America had the name Myconium (sic). Apparently her mum had heard the doctor say it when she was born and thought it sounded like a nice name. :scared:

I had a teacher at school called Mrs Rackshit (this was her married name so dread to think what her maiden name was!) :confused:

3. We had a boy round our way with his surname of 'Marrow'.

4. I have heard of someone being called 'Fanny' which I think is funny.

Has anyone got any funny names to add?


My sister knew someone from the Phillipines whose name was Cherry Pie

That goves me the idea... I could go for Kangaroo Jerky for my next child...
