Unfortunate/funny names
 

We've all heard about unfortunate/funny names... Hugh Jaynus, Thresa Green & - don't know if this ones allowed, but here it goes anyway..... Mike Hunt.

But have you actually met anyone or know somebody with such a name.

Through my work several years ago I met Gordon Bennett, Justine Case & Holly Day :D

My husband used to go to school with Wayne Kerr :rofl:

Re: Unfortunate/funny names
 

I interviewed Dick Dong.

I worked with a man who had been called hung phuc le but who anglicised it to Lee Hung. That would have been fine had the bastards he worked with not convinced him that all Canadians have a middle name and a popular one is "well".

Re: Unfortunate/funny names
 

One of the newscasters on the telly back home had a great name:

'Nina Nanaar.' :D

Say it loudly and repeat - it sounds just like the noise you made as a kid when imitating a police car siren.

Re: Unfortunate/funny names
 

Such a porn star name - did you manage to keep a straight face?

My partner once had a meeting with a Russell Sprout.

Re: Unfortunate/funny names
 

When I saw the resume I thought I should ask him why he didn't go by "Richard" but he seemed utterly humourless so I said nuffink.

Re: Unfortunate/funny names
 

:eek: :rofl: :thumbup:

Re: Unfortunate/funny names
 

I used to work with a bloke called Runi Poo.

A girl I worked with had a friend called Griselda Dick.

I vaguely knew a Gordon Bennett in Oakville. His tugboat (the Wendy B) is still moored in the marina. I don't think the town knew what to do with it after he went back to it one night, pissed, and fell down the stairs, killing himself in the process.

I also know a family called Beishon. The boys must have been glad to reach majority and thus be Mister, rather than Master. Then again, Mr Beishon isn't a great deal better.

Re: Unfortunate/funny names
 

There was a boy at my school with the surname "Fûcker".

Imagine the fun the gym teachers had with that:ohmy:


This bit of test equipment used to cause sniggering, but we are over it now:lol:

I once dealt with a Korean gentlemen who rejoiced in the name of Suk Bum Choi. Then there was the US colleague whose name was Peter File. Try saying that in a 'merkan accent!:D

Re: Unfortunate/funny names
 

My wife was an ESL instructor in Korea & Japan..one of her students was called Bum Suk.

Wonder if he was related?

Re: Unfortunate/funny names
 

I think it's the Korean version of 'Smith'!

Re: Unfortunate/funny names
 

The husband of my wifes friend was called Richard Upright, but he issisted on everyone calling him Dick

Re: Unfortunate/funny names
 

I had a customer who's parents must have had a sense of humour. I got a message to call a Mr Russell and when i got hold of him turns out his first name was Jack!! :D

Re: Unfortunate/funny names
 

Back in the early 80s while working for Grampian Health Board, we all knew of Dr Donald Duck from Mallaig (wonder if this is why a doctor is sometimes called a quack :rofl: ). Just googled him and found this:

Hazel Urine and Dick Smallbone are the two that stand out in my mind.

Re: Unfortunate/funny names

Re: Unfortunate/funny names
 

There used to be a dentist that had a sergery in town, his brass plaque on the wall said........ Mr D. Kay


Which also reminds me of a letter we received from an R. Sole :ohmy:

Re: Unfortunate/funny names
 

Well we know that!

When I started working back in the early 90's the email system at my then employer was called 'Wang Office'. That spawned a host of double-entendre type expressions...'just wang me', 'send me a wang', 'I'm wanging her now' etc etc. Hours of fun.

Re: Unfortunate/funny names
 

OH served in the army and came across a Private Organ (female) and a guy named Gerry Nation who everyone called Uri.

Re: Unfortunate/funny names
 

Here's two: I met a guy named Ronald Mac Donald who was the manager of a MacDonald's in Red Deer.
Another was "Harry Dick".

When I was in hospital having my first son, there was a baby born on the same day who still was not named when we left. His family name was Hunt, and his parents just could not decide on a name! :p

Our local dentist lived in a house called "Little Acre"

I had a patient once with the surname Constable..... he was a policeman! and he dared us to comment! :lol:

Re: Unfortunate/funny names
 

At my son's school back in Aberdeenshire the school community policeman was PC Constable :rofl:

Re: Unfortunate/funny names
 

Were any of these policemen ever likely to be promoted to Inspector....

I know i cant believe hubbys friends called there kids harry and hilary hunt :rofl:

When i was pregnant and we was having a discussion on names i put myself right in it by saying that any P names were out (last name begins with p) as it would sound stupid.:p to which his sister found a little odd as she has a P name as well as the P surname :o
But in the end i gave her my surname as i didnt want to take his surname anyway.
