My dad went to high school with a fellow named Richard Head... think about it. He also had a teacher named Mrs. Sipee. My dentist's name is Dr. Fungoose Fut. My brother has had friends with strange names too such as Randy Cock, Guy Mann, and Sheida Mann (no relation to Guy). A man at my church is name Cannu Shet... yes, I can. And my friend's mom is named Tortuga Greene.

I work for a law firm that does a lot of probate work. The homicide detective assigned to one of our cases is Detective Slaughter.

I work for an employee benefits company and one of our clients is called Patrick Loong Fatt Kok. I also have another client called Iona Pigg.

I know of a Mr & Mrs Mycock - they called their son Aaron. Poor little bugger.

I knew a kid in grade school named Jim Hsu (pronunced "Shoe") I that was bad enough until I heard his dad's name - Thai Ya Hsu!

A few months ago we got a new client - Mrs. Dang Ho.

Skinner Advertising Specialties in Lansing MI, is owned by Richard Skinner.....the common nick name for Richard is Dick...can you imagine Dick Skinner as your name in school! the guys parents must have been sick!! I laughed so hard when I called 2 years ago to get pricing for our company I had to hang up.

We had a music teacher named Richard Smack...as mentioned above, common nick name for richard is Dick. =|

Really cool guy and teacher though. Sorely missed when he retired.

I've had my own share of robo-names, (trust me I've heard em all) but my friend Norman Herman has a truly odd name and even worse his brothers name was Henry.

i knew a kid named Johnny Joe in middle school, and his mom's name was Gertrude Iris Joe. People called her G.I. Joe for short.

I worked at an insurance company and I was doing the filing and saw a name of Richard (Dick) Glasscock. I couldnt believed someone would actually name their kid that. I also used to work for a food manufacturing company and the owner was named Richard Burns. His wife (whose name was Barbara) would call and ask for him exactly like this: "Barbara Burns for Dick".

Works for the school district

wow! this particular weblog is gonna be at the top of the pop list FOREVER!

There's a camera store called Adolph Gasser,Inc.,in San Francisco,which isn't really funny, but you'd think the guy would have changed his name. The place has been around just about forever, and is actually a very cool and highly respected camera store.
And a floor covering store in Oakland,CA,is called
"Linoleum Dick's." I guess it's not strictly a last name, but still funny.Also been around forever.

Back in the '70's in Owego, NY, when I was a volunteer fireman, the Fire Chief was Mr. Elzie BURNS. At the same time, the county coroner was Mr. Floyd ANGEL, and one of the officers on the local police force was Officer Raymond COPP. More recently, retiring in 2003 as Chief of Police in Binghamton, NY was one Joseph D. LYNCH.

I worked with a Mr Bauld who wore a very obvious wig. There were people who'd worked with him in other departments before his wig wearing - don't know wht he bothered. PS. There was a Mr Head and Mr Shoulders who's offices (and name-plates) were directly opposite to each other.

Well, aptronyms - these are people I have known - Dr Fish of the Marine Department of the Deptof Scientific and Industrial Resreach, and Barry Cashmore, E.O., Finance of the Auckland Education Board, New Zealand. Then there's the owner of TVR engineering, low-volume British sports car maufacturer, called Peter Wheeler.
I had a geography teacher in high school by the name of Gaix (pronounced Gay) Guy. My mother's cousin married a man she told the family, was called Mr Peabody. It was only when he died of old age, that it was revealed that his name was really Chitty. There was a respected historian here called Dr Beaglehole - that was always my favourite.

Some names I've come across while working at a University: Fan Fan, Fangfang He, Carole Carroll, Donald Groseclose, Jennifer Cockream.

I was in a theater company with a woman named Pat Matush. When I was a kid I knew someone named Alex Lax. I have a colleague now named Les Moore. My dad went to with a guy named Morgan Morgan Morgan.

I have a problem related to unfortunate last names- I just got married and my new husband's last name is "Gay." He has hated it all his life and has always wanted to change it- but his Dad gets very angry and offended every time we mention it. Apparently it is a "strong, Irish name." So we still have our previous last names since I refuse to take it (my occupation would make it even more difficult to bear) and who knows when we will decide what to do. People are constantly asking us though "Have you picked a last name yet???"

I formerly worked at an office building filing papers when I found a woman by the name of Anita Guy. The funny thing is on the form she listed that she had 6 children.

Used to have a guy in school with me that had the unfortunate name of "Fokkens" which means something quite nasty in Dutch. One of my students at my school had the german surname "Geier" but being in britain it was pronounced Gayer. For ever the John and Jamie was known as the Gayer brothers!

Here in Phoenix, we've got a chain of resturants called Long Wongs. In school there was a Long Dong Nguyen. He won Jr. class president. In high school I knew, variously, Bbora, Payal ("Like pile of shit," she said when she first introduced herself), Gigirose Marquez Ressurection Achanzar. My wife's Dr.'s name is Dr. Swindle. My lastname isn't actually Momo. Its already been mentioned in this thread. But as one friend said to me, "At least its not Chickenfucker." I suppose I'm grateful.

I had a teacher named Ms. Packman. In the last day of school, I dressed up as a blue ghost, and charged at her.

I got suspended, starting the next year.

Richard Momo should be proud of himself - there is a company called Momo that makes steering wheels for upmarket cars (like Caterhams.)
Blue ghost - tee hee!

No, not upmarket cars, performance cars! (A correction from the carobsessive in the family...)
