There are some real names that is quite hilarious. Heard of any?

Here in sweden, there is a scribe whose name is Harry Amster. H. Amster...
I am slightly curious really how his parents reasoned there.

Also, long ago we had an arch-bishop named Gustav Trolle...

One of my colleagues is called Alicia Gottlaid. Does that count?

I know someone named Sudberg Gudbergson.

Also known as the Swedish Chef or Bork Bork.

Yes, I'd say it does.

Real names of people I know directly or have 1 degree of separation:

Summer Winter Faels (pronounced falls).

Daily Joy

Johnathon Johnson (Goes by John John)

Bubba Horschack. His first name on his birth certificate is Bubba. This is Texas, after all.


Names used when substitutes passed around the roll sheets:

Ben Dover
Ilene Dover
Chuck Wagon
Richard Hurts
Richard Head
Anita Man

I went to school with both a Richard Head and a Michael Hunt.

I can beat you all. I knew a guy who worked at the local starbucks. his name was Huge Erection.

My elementary school VP was 'Mister Loldick' not kidding.

not even a little.

My mother swears she had a high school teacher named Harry Wrotencroch (rotten crotch.)

Either way, I suspect this might not be beaten:



Spoilered as it's slightly NSFW

kudos to who gets the ref.

say this out loud. And quickly.

Ety Sapyti Ieman Nass.

filbert wins, man.

There's no defeating Anass Rhammar in a goofy name contest.

You sure? I know a guy named Muck! And he's swedish. Really, did his parents know any english at all?

Friend was going through a census from the mid-1800s and found a Loudolphus D. Maybee.

Just funny, not really punny.

Not so much funny as it is just made of pure win: Magnus ver Magnusson

Manliest name EVER!

My dentist growing up was Doctor Payne.. however, he was quite painless, it was his hygienist assistant who lived up to her TV name: Xena.

An officer in my last unit had the unfortunate last name of Crunch. Worst part was that he was in fact, a Captain. So we had a Captain Crunch in Iraq with us. (he was born with the name and didn't change it when he became an officer, though i suggested a name change once he hit Major)

the horse race commentor in our area called willy stroker. i kid ye not.

The guy who does that One Man Army show's name is Mykel Hawk.
Heh. Heheh.

I once knew someone who had the surname Lickard.


She did.

I'm considering calling my third son Lexington Luthor, if that counts.

Oh and yeah, you know what his nickname will be.

We had a kid in school called ... Bond who's candidate number was 007, the mum vetoed James. Another friend of mine, his name came up on some minute meetings as A. Jordan which just made me laugh.

Well, not someone I knew personally but:

Sir Cockburn.

Washington DC may remember him.

My careers teacher was a Mr. Bates...

I don't know any funny names, but if I have a son, I will name him Konrad, because my last name is Cruz.

I knew a girl in middle school who's last name was Dorn.

Some dude came back telling stories of him along with James.

James Burnhard Folenbladur.

James B. Folenbladur.

Used to have a friend...first name Ben...last name Dover...

A roomie of mine in the Army had the name Caliph Swindel, I always thought that was the coolest name I've ever heard.

On some stupid reality show my parents were watching a couple of years ago, there was a lady named Listeryne! Like the mouthwash, but spelt with a "y"

Oh right... The names in the manga One Piece sounds quite odd in the swedish translation. Kizaru is instead "Gulapa" (Yellowmonkey) and Sentomaru is instead "Stridsplommon" (Battle Plum)...

A random person requested to be my friend on Facebook, I have never seen/spoke to/heard from/etc this person, complete and total stranger, but I accepted the request anyway, the reason:

His name is 'Andrew FurtWangler'

Oh, and a good friend of mine's surname is Upham. He's going to name his first-born son Rahmed

Naming your kids funny names... well, gives the other kids another reason to hit them I guess.

Though Lexington is awesome.

Well aye, that would be part of it to be honest.

Although the other two are named Tyrus and Tremere, so I think we missed the boat on that one already.

Of course shortened they sound quite acceptable, Ty, Tre and potentially Lex.

Well I had a client from china named Satan Chu. I think that was his last name... I just remember his first name was Satan.

Wasn't there a Mayor of someplace in the states called Harry Balls? Which, depending on your accent could be funny as hell...

Apparently it's spelled Baals, but the pronunciation remains. Mayor of Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Not a real world name, but my friends and I can no longer take A Thousand Sons seriously when we learned that there's a character (A Wolf Lord) named Amlohdi Skarssen Skarssensson. And his herald's name is Ragnulf Ragnulfssen.

Haven't known any really strange names in real life. About the oddest one (which I note only because our teacher can't pronounce it to save her life) is Zheng Xiang, which unless I'm mistaken, is pronounced Zeng Zhang.

I know a girl named Abby Rhoades.

I went to school with a Theresa Green.

Parents can be cruel sometimes.

But not as cruel as schoolchildren.

My Great Aunt is Elanore Rigby. She's older than the song.

A priest named C. Coala

He was bishop, but they didn't want to make him a pope because then he'd be pope-C- cola

Pepsi-Cola! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE

A bit off topic, but that remains me of a discussion I read happened at a travel agency:

Customer: I want to go to Pepsi Cola in one of those Computer Planes.
Employee: Er... Do you mean you want to go to Pensacola, in a Commuter Plane?
Customer: Yeah, whatever.

I knew a girl named Female`... pronounced like tamale.
Have a friend named Mark Drucker... calls his wife "mother".
and finally, grew up with a guy who named his daughter Carrotty, sounds like karate.

Raven Morhed is a grile i work with....think about it

Had a boss whose sons were named Dick Gregory , Richard Gregory , John Gregory .. Also grew up with a kid named Pickle Moore

Talking to a friend yesterday night, they know someone who's parents are of a hippy-type lifestyle, his name is Cosmic Element. No joke, completly true.

Wee jock, poo plong mick plop.

When I was stationed on a submarine the guy I was sent to replace was named petty officer Swallows. That poor SOB spent the first 2 years in the navy going by the name of Seaman Swallows.

Saw this one on the internet recently:

Le-a. How is pronounced? Leah? Lee-ah? Nope. Ledasha. From the person who named her child this, "the dash don't be silent."

I worked with a girl once named Eowyn. Straight from LotR. Hippie parents on that one too.

I worked with:

Dr Amanda Love

Dr Love!

Worked with Jack Daniels... his parents were strict religious types and had never heard of the stuff.
Evan K. Evans, that later got changed to Evan K Guiterriez, or E.K.G.

I used to do volunteer work at a hospital a long time ago, and they mainly had me working in the "Mother/Baby Unit", where the majority of the post-birth care was provided (excluding patients that needed to go to the ICU or NICU).

The following are 100% real names that I've dealt with. The better ones are from people who did not understand English.

Twins Orangelo and Lemangelo (don't remember the last name). Pronounced Or-ahn-jell-oh and Luh-mahn-jell-oh.

X-Ray Draiton. The parents just couldn't get over the word X-Ray. They thought it was awesome.

Vagina (yes, vagina, don't remember the last name). Pronounced Fuh-gee-nuh.

Placenta (don't remember the last name). Pronounced exactly the same way as the body part. The mother didn't know one word of English, and the translator didn't bother telling her what it meant.

We also had a Le-a.

And since we're doing taxi drivers...

Half of those break the forum rules, but they're still hilarious if they're true.

I feel sorry for the generation of kids who have to put up with their mum's favourite high street shop as a name, or their dad's favourite tracksuit brand. I don't want my daughter, Luna Aurelia Elysia, to be in the same class as Primark, T.K.Max, Nike, Adidas, Eclipse (the nightclub (s)he was conceived in), Vindaloo, et cetera.

There's a family in our house with the surname Sallmander.

Our local 7-11 has a weekly drawing for free gas.
One weeks winner was 'Sparkle Tittsworth'.

and a guy i've known for years used to work with a guy named 'Phil McCracken(sp?)'.

There's a senator in Florida named Joe Negron, pronounced "Necron." Thought it was fitting for this thread.

Richard Crapp. There was also a girl in my old high school named Obot Egbo-Egbo.

A friend of mine's last name is 'Hiscock'. He's an unreal guy, and a Newf to boot, so wherever he goes, we all chant 'Whose cock?' to which he answers with his name. Awesome dude.

Haha some of these are really funny..

I worked with a girl called Wai Ling Ho.

I also know someone who named their kid Bunny Love.

At what point does something like that constitute child abuse?

That is a manly name. Not the manliest I know, but still.

Just realized the other day that there's a guy in my health class named Adric...his parents were Doctor Who fans and named him after one of the characters in the classic Who series.

Yup My name in italian is Tequila if translated, in another it Means Knight.
So Cameron Knight
or Cameron Tequila. Hmmm my parents have yet to tell me which one is true.

I'll have to get the list from a friend of mine, who worked in a inner-city Compton school. Highlights included EZ Money (the child signed his papers EZ$), and Crystal Chandra Lear.

A swedish actor here has the surname Jähkel. That sounds just like Jäkel, whcih means bastard or devil.

Slovak Hockey player....
...Miroslav Satan.
Think of the implications if Satan plays hockey.....

Ah I remember him (but it's pronounced 'Sattan' though right?), pretty good player IIRC.

Actually, I think it's "Shah' tan"

Consider this.... (Note: its the spelling here that makes it funny, not the way it is prounounced by the players)
Satan plays hockey
Hockey is played in winter.
Winter is typically a time of low temperatures.

Jesus plays baseball. (Jesus Delgado of Florida Marlins , for example)
Baseball is played in summer.
Summer is typically a time of high temperatures.

Given this information..... Which would you think was hotter, Heaven or Hell?

Just read about a psychologist named Edwin Boring.
