Years ago one of my sales guys had two prospects called Jan Isukov and Jayne Mycock. Oh how we laughed about the possibility of them marrying with a double-barrelled surname 🙂

my better half works in Matty so we get a regular crop of them.

Echo Beach. (quite recently and not far away in time.)

Nazi- as a first name, i wonder if the surname was Stormtrooper or whether they came from a long line of Nazi's.

A girl tried to register the name of her daughter recently, i'm not sure how she was spelling the name but it was prounced "Chlamydia"
The registrar had to explain to her what it ment. She was quite upset about that.

Had to phone rocket jr's school the other day I got through to a Mrs. Buck - Carol Buck. My immature mind assumed she was married to Hymn and they have children called English, Maths & History etc

🙂

Wayne Kerr is older than me. When I started work in the 70s the test department had rows of Wayne Kerr test rigs. The reps used to visit us with Wayne Kerr badges and literature I thought it was hilarious

My old PE teacher Mary-Christina Moss, of course it was always Miss Mary Chris Moss.

I worked In telesales and had to ring someone called Miss Shagnasty. After much s****ing and talking to my collegues we decided it must be pronounced Sean-asty. I rang up, "hello is that Miss Seannasty?" "no it's Miss Shag-nasty" came the reply.

I've come across a Dipa Mistry and girls called 'Manmeet' and I used to know a nasty piece of work called 'Zubair'. I used to drive past an estate agents in Victoria, Australia and the guy's name was 'Robin Daley', how apt.

I used to work with a chap with that surname. We used to call him "International Man Of".

Once interviewed a lad called Satnam. We'd spent a good half an hour making sat-nav jokes and being reduced to uncontrollable giggles before he turned up. When he arrived, my colleague opened with, "Good to meet you..." *beat* "... find us alright?" and I had to run into another room to recover.

That has to be either an urban myth or some witty IT staff creating test accounts, surely.

The Chinese students on my post grad course had a habit of adopting European names to help them integrate. One whose surname was pronounced 'tongue' but was actually spelt 'thong' adopted the quintessentially English but desperately unfortunate name of 'Fanny'.

So Fanny Thong.

Also used to know a Bhatti Crack

I've seen this too. It's a great idea, but they always seem to pick old-fashioned names. I don't know where they get them from.

I used to speak to a Chinese lass fairly regularly who had taken the name Joyce, which is a nice enough name and all, but not one you'd expect for a girl in her 20s.

Nothing too amusing until someone pointed out that Lunn* is Punjabi for penis, so he became Dick-Dick from then on 🙂

A friend of mine started a new job working in a factory in Liverpool a while back. Presently, she had to speak to a guy her colleagues told her was called Warren.

Weeks went by, with her regularly dealing with Warren. After a couple of months of this she had to email him, and couldn't find a 'Warren' in the address book. She went to query this with him.

"My name's not Warren," he informed her, "it's Dave, the guys just call me Warren."

"Oh, right. Why do the call you Warren then?"

"It's short for 'Warren Uglybastard'... "

I live in the village of Willey (pronounced Willy and is near Rugby) a while ago we had some visitors from Chilliwack in Canada visit.

Jan and Bob didn't understand why people in the UK, were amused by the name Willey. Once the reason had been explained the both lughed and said Just wait till we tell our neighbour back in Canada .... his name was Randy Willey .... neither name means the same over there.

Randy Willy from Chilliwack... amused me.
