In my job I quite often have to call people with names that might be regarded as having comedy value. For example, I once had to speak with a Chinese woman who for the sake of her western colleagues had adopted the classic British name 'Fanny'. That might not have been so bad except that her surname was 'Thong' thus 'Fanny Thong'.

Barati Crack was also mildly ammusing, as was Randy Bellows.

They all pale into insignificance with the following, all time comedy name:

Anurag Dikshit - the brains behind Partygaming.com - It's one of those that you just have to think is made up until you Google him: [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anurag_Dikshit ]Clicky[/url]

Work in telemarketing. It never fails to amaze me how many people have names that suit their jobs. We started to write them down a while back, and used to use it as a marketing tool, but people refused to believe it. Mr Car the taxi driver, Mr Bun the baker, Mr Snap the photographer...Endless.

I have to move around for work and as a consequence you get to meet laods of people. I once met a guy called Alan Burke.

Poor blighter. What were his parents thinking of. They had given him a christian name which combined with his sirname would leave him signing anything:-

A. Burke.

I mean, couldn't they have chosen any other name but one that started with an A.

You could tell that going through life with such a name, had effected him.

I once knew a Dave Chicken too. Again, you could tell that he'd just about heard any and every joke you could think of.

I used to work with Randall ("Randy") Lay and Regina Hairie

Went to Uni with Michael Hunt.

My wife's friend, Kerry, insisted on keeping her maiden name (Taylor) and double-barrelling it to her husband's surname (Oakey) thus becoming Kerry Taylor-Oakey. Can't imagine why, I think Kerry Oakey is a great name!

I used to deliver mail to an Axel A Hellwig. Not a double entendre, just an awesome name. He really should have been a rock star or something with that name, but I don't think that he was.

Going down the porn star name route, we were all intrigued when I had to go and visit Miss Willow Fox.

Gosh, my colleagues laughed when I came back into the office to advise that "she" wasn't quite what we had been imagining.....

My wife knows a Annette Kirton.

And she knew someone with a surname something like Bognasty and as soon as she could get married she did just for the surname which was quite a jump in this case as it was a Windsor, not one of THE Windsors.

God, you are truly the funniest person that's ever been on STW. How on Earth do you do it? 🙄

So good of you, to give Monty Python one of their jokes...

Most of these are bullshit. Stolen from other sources. Heard most of them many years ago. Come on people, bit of effort, at least.

Anyone got any that are actually genuine, not just something off tinternet?

I've got a mate called Scottish Kev. Get this (you won't believe it); he's Scottish, and lives in Scotland! How mad is that???
