I once knew a guy with an exclamation mark in his name (he was South African I think, or something similar). It was pronounced like a click at the back of your tongue.

He'll be Xhosa, then, they have eighteen click consonants, produced in three different parts of the mouth.
I can barely get by speaking English correctly!

A former headmaster of King Williams's college on the Isle of Man - George Shaw-Twilley. At least it wasn't Ivor.....

And a certain William Tickle (Willy to his friends) was charged with gross indecency after being seen urinating against a wheelie bin in Laxey. All the excitement happens here......

I wonder if the previously mentioned Helmut Schmelling is related to the Helmut Puller I know?

Teacher at school was called Mrs Gaye. Imagine our amusement when we learnt her first name was Fanny!

Finally, heard of an old US colleague called Richard W****r. Told all who met him to call him Dick!

Had a language teacher at school who taught me Spanish called Mrs Tease. She was precisely the opposite of what the name and fantasy alludes to sadly. Geography's Mrs Tits though... oof. *swanny whistle

My dad had a couple of mates in Toronto. They were brothers. No fnaar involved just ridiculous IMO. I think they are of Hungarian descent.

Tibor and Zoltan Bankuti.

My wife's sisters baby is called Apostollos Apostollopodous. No really!!! I can't say it without bursting into hysterics. If it wasn't my sister in laws kid I just wouldn't believe that someone would be called it.

Not to the standard of some but:
Worked with a John Lennon who told some of the best stories. One being caught having a pee by the Police when in Bradford. Seems they were not in a laughing mood.

Also a Barry White, small bespectacled guy of Caucasian extraction.

A Nova Pye who was as I remember quite a hottie although a bit of a Stoner.

When I worked for Coca Cola we had a National Account Manager for McDonald's who was based in their head office, he was called Ronald McDonald

This dude is in the news today (as a possible rapist) Bartholomeo Joly de Lotbiniere

In primary school we had a Aussie kid join our class called Joel Smelley. I was 8 years old and it was the funniest thing in the world

An American lad I once worked with briefly had a middle name of "Seven." His mum - sorry, mom - reasoned that some day we'll all be numbers.

Seems there's a STW'er called Manbat also, who made one post four years ago. I don't know whether I'm disappointed or thrilled that his real name appears to be Dave.

Eric Carless owned the local bike shop when I was a lad. Mr Lamb was the butcher in same row of shops.
Used to work with Matt Black. And knew an Andrew Copper who was a policeman.
