Best names for a real human person you've ever encountered

The greatest name in the history of the world will always be Goodluck Jonathan!!

A couple hops above me in our global address book is a MR Harley Davidson

There used to be a solicitor’s firm in Sligo owned by Mr W. H. Argue and Mr Talbot Phibbs. The firm was called Argue and Phibbs.

I’ve not personally met him but a guy in our company is called Jean-Luc Picard. He works for one of the Enterprise teams 😀

not owt rude, but I have a customer named David David.

I have a colleague called Howard Howard

I was at college with Martin Martin

Richard Richards a.k.a. “Double Dick”

Fanny Moron

This is just the best thread ever.
Currently coughing up a lung reading some of these!

Sammy Adabanjo

Legendary! I wonder what happened to it?

Jean-Luc Picard. He works for one of the Enterprise teams

if true then BRILLIANT

Our chimney sweep is Called Hilton Basnett. It’s not funny, it’s just a bloody magnificent name.

I work with a Mrs Hoare.

Precious Stone and would it surprise you to learn that she was from Basildon?

Magnificent names count – this is a celebration of namedom.

ScottChegg – Member

Another is Randy Bumgardner.

Yeah, we’ve got a Randy Bumgartner at our American office.

Used to deal with a guy called Perfecto Martinez. No innuendo, just thought the first name was outstanding…..

We’ve got a guy at our German office called Helmut Schmelling. I kid you not…

Used to have a supplier called Chris Cross & always imagined him going to work with his clothes on back to front.

Mike Hunt

I used to work with a Mike Hunt. He was adamant everyone called him Michael. Nobody did.

Jean-Luc Picard. He works for one of the Enterprise teams
if true then BRILLIANT

100% True apparently the bloke is a good sport about it too. His email signature says “Make it so”!

Back in Exeter I knew a Justin Case. then there was also Matt Smith….though there were randomly 4 Matt Smiths in our group of friends so he changed his name to Robin the rainbow warrior Hood.
oh, and Dragon, no surname.

and for magnificent I went to school with a Charles Edward George Williams-Hawkes

His email signature says “Make it so”!

This has made my WEEK.

Helmut Schmelling

Thats just the wurst!

Guy at work called Euan Kerr, though at least his parents went the u and not the w….

Nothing in the same league as some of you but a friend of a friend is called Marshall Law and I interviewed a guy with a brilliant name, Somsak Nimanong. It just sounds so good when you say it.

I used to deliver mail to Axel A Hellwig. I think I met him once, and sadly he didn’t appear to actually be a rock star.

I never met him, but in the 80s one of the doctors around Arisaig was Dr Donald Duck.

Not met but: Sandi Flange, US Nude Sunbathing assoc.

(as posted here before)

On a radio documentary about redundant car worker from after the Longbridge closure looking for new careers:

Maurice Minor

I knew a Heather Gardener which always amused me and a Tom Dick

I bloke on my mates Uni course changed his name fropm something perfectly ordinary ( Andrew Wilson I think?) to …

The Mad Bush.

It was on his degree certificate, bank cards etc.

Oh yeah. Mrs PP had an operation on her knee. The surgeon was Dr Chisel.

funkmasterp – isn’t it comforting just to know that there’s genuinely a guy walking around called Marshall Law?

And you’re right, Somsak Nimanong has an exquisite ring to it. Reminds me of the Junkians in Transformers the Movie.

I noticed today that Christian Horner of Red Bull F1 and Geri Helliwell of Spice Girl fame have called their new baby Montague George Hector Horner. My wife works in the NHS and like someone says on the first page the Nigerian names that she comes across are Awesome….and that is quite literally one little lads name..Awesome. Taking a nominative determinism route.. my lad came home the other day from school and said his supply teacher for English that day was called Mrs Stammer!!!.

Donald Duck.

This will be what US Secret Service agents will have to shout in the event of an assassination attempt.

Precious McKenzie the weightlifter

I do like the African names that are qualities they want in the child. Patience etc.

A lad at schools dad was called Roger Myring

a friend of mine has a kid in her class called Shrek

apparently the father got his disney movies mixed up when he registered because it was meant to be Mulan.

This letter made me laugh. No idea if it’s true or not.

We’ve got a guy at our German office called Helmut Schmelling. I kid you not…

Genuine LOL! Brilliant!

Saviour Casha who ran a car hire firm in Malta

and Etta Bogle from back in Scotland

I’m reading through this thread with gritted teeth 👿 I did work out years ago that being called D**k Staines was way better than R.Staines and on the plus side I moved in opposite to D**k Head recently

Kid at school back in 80’s in York called Caswell Coggins!

A guy at work changed his name from Steve Smith to Blake 7.

as an aside, I used to work in Staines, a colleague of mine was genuinely charged with answering the phone ‘Good morning Siemens Staines’

I was once introduced to a Dick Feast. Oh how I laughed, it did not go down well.

I’ve just remembered, there’s a gynaecologist at Manchester University Hospital called Judith Gash.

I have regular meetings with an Asian chap whose “western” name is Max Wang 😀

When I was at school there was rumored to be a brother sister combo of Ophelia and Everard Dicks. Everyone professed to have met them but I didnt so called out as an “urban myth”.

The Neville brothers Dad is Neville Neville apparently.

Akhsa Fhukarat – male
Khuntal Dave – female

I also no a “Crapper”.
