One of my customers is called Wayne Kerr...

I used to work for a share registrar so got to see dozens of unfortunate names. (a share certificate is a legal document so no made up names here)

Seema Butt
Henry Shaw-Twilley
Christopher Paul Bacon (so that makes him Chris P Bacon)
Mr Forskin
Dozens of Dick (Richard) Heads
And the piece de resistance....(remembering the legal document thing)
Ms Fanny Gash

Oh and I went to school with an Emma Roys.

My mate's Mum has some classics from kids she used to teach, but my absolute favourite that she taught is...

Dwayne Pipe

😆

She taught a Richard Head too, though they're seemingly quite common.

Also, Rugby player Austin Healey's parents obviously had a sense of humour, or a love of British sports cars!

I've done business with a Mr Randy Clinger, and by quite some margin that isn't the funniest thing about him

I used to work for Maurice Minor

There was a documentary on radio 4 about workers made redundant when MG Rover closed down following them as they tried to start new careers after a lifetime on the production line. One of those guys was called Maurice Minor, talk about nominative determinism.

There was a guy who used to come into the shop I used to work in in Dundee and his name was Mr Gentles.

Because of his Scottish accent our phone conversations went something like this-

Me: Hello?
Him: Hello, it's Mr Genitals here.
Me: *snort*

There's an actual MSP in Scotland called Shona Baird. Baird is Glasgow slang for part of the female anatomy. You do the math.

I used to work in a global help desk and we had some funny ones.

China - Ming Ye To
USA - Dr De'ath, I kid you not thats how he insisted it spelt. Now if I had thet last name and a PhD I would drop the Dr bit.
UK - Mr T w a t.
Loads of Randys which on video conferences when they introduce themselves and just go "Hi I'm Randy", first few times I just lost it and had to make excuses and leave. Childish I know.

All time favourite was a freind of mine called Tina Salmon, I blame the parents.

EDIT DIDNT SHOW IN NAUGHTY WORD CATCHER

Went for a child patient, asked dad what her name was. "Labia". Ok, how am I spelling that? "L.a.b.i.a". Right, great.
