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

Max Wang

Don’t know why but that has set me off! Crying here! 🙂

Was at school with Everton Rock which I think was a pretty cool name

The Neville brothers Dad is Neville Neville apparently.

My OH’s great grandfather was Griffith Griffiths or GriffGriff to his mates.

Another one from the past… Richard Spray, who liked to go by the name of Dick

That “Sexwale” bloke has a great name. And if I was him would pronounce it as it reads.

Max Wang has sent me over the edge here.

Friend from schools dad was also called Richard Head,

Have someone in my company called Dick Long, it always puts the surname first in my email folder, 😆

Used to speak to a guy called Gyan Dikshit at my old company which always made me chuckle.

I recall a Mingita and Flangita Patel (twins) from infant school. Obviously it wasn’t funny at 5 years old – they were just Min & Flan.

On the “name of power” front, I used to work with a Rupert Charles Emit Alexander Barth Von Werenalp. Rupert BVW for short.

There’s a guy at work who’s surname is Lovelady.

Nice chap.

My Niece had a friend called Iona Gunn!

I see your gun and raise you… Iona Dragon.
Sadly she wasnt Welsh

I used to chuckle at work when cars were booked in for auto-painting with “Dick Lovett – Spraymaster”

There is a garage here in Norwoch too called BOB BASTID

Yes Emma roads was real, my all time fave was a colleague who could neve transfer to Glasgow – wee Ming kok

A former girlfriend worked with Perri 6. He changed his surname to 6 as a protest.Made getting a passport , driving licence etc. difficult, but that was the point.

I few years ago I worked with a D.R.Love.

Went to school with Jenny Teale, she was always well groomed from memory

I work with a Randy Snowman, and another forum member here – when employed by GE – discovered a colleague on the intranet called Randy Gaylord.

Both are American, should there be any doubt. And I believe that only the word ‘Snowman’ raises a smile in their respective country.

Pimp, you’ve just reminded me, a few weeks ago I created a new account for a guy called Robert Sleigh.

I had to check with HR to ensure that someone wasn’t taking the P.

I was once at a whiskey tasting event, and got introduced to a man named Steve Enema.

There was a man on my paper round as a kid, whose name was Larry. He was nice enough, but obviously extremely proud of his name. His two cars both had personalised reg plates:

Larry 1
Larry 2

His son’s name was Larry Jr., and his daughter’s name was Gerry.

Yep. Bizarre.

A lad at schools dad was called Roger Myring

Roger Myring was the landlord of my local in Stafford. Moved to Derby over 10 years ago.

Ex Aston Villa owner – Randy Lerner. A driving instructor’s fantasy.

The best name of anybody I’ve met is Wilfred Makepeace Lunn.

There’s a chap on Gigha called Willie McSporran who regularly made the local paper.

Years ago I spotted a Robin Bastard in some TV programme credits

I knew a cop called Nick Moore.

One of my daughter’s schoolmates was called Beth Gash.

An ex-girlfriend had a work colleague called ‘Ivor Hoare’

Used to work for an American company which employed people called Dick Bollock and Sandy Beaver. There were some other good names but I’ve forgotten them.

Not someone I’ve met but I’m aware of a bloke called Wayne Bruce – who goes by the nickname Man Bat.

Calling the register as a supply teacher

Ikea.

As a first name. I read it out expecting a fit of giggles and a voice said “Here”

Nothing else!

I never plucked up the gumption to ask why!

A couple more, encountered professionally:

Dr. De’ath
Dr. Cockshot

Edit:

With reference to some of the contributions above, a colleague in the office has also come across a Dikshit.

Another colleague reports dealing with a Thai woman named Porn Rat.

I remember working at a call centre and help a Anil Batterer

Not someone I’ve met but I’m aware of a bloke called Wayne Bruce – who goes by the nickname Man Bat.

Proper tea-spitting lol at the nickname. 🙂

probably Nimrod Ping

I used to work with a guy from Belgium who was called Dick Ayres.

I worked in an office with Alastair Dick so he had the user name adick. Same company but different office had a lovely lady called Furii Butt.

To top it all off we had 2 developers in the same office,one called Matt White and the other Matt Black,i kid you not. Although Mr Black insisted you call him Matthew, he hated anyone calling him Matt.

Almost forgot. I once stopped a car and asked the control room to run the reg number through PNC. I then asked the fabulously polite young driver for his name and address. He had a slightly haunted look about him and handed me his driving licence. I was just reading the name on the licence when the control room operator called me back on the radio. Having read his name I stepped back so he couldn’t hear the now impending message that was going to be sent by the far from politically correct old lag in the control room (this was the 1980s before any knickers get in any twists about professionalism). His name was Dildar Butt.

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

There was a reverend Canaan Banana!

I’ve had emails from a guy called Don Dondon – I always read it in the style of a 50’s shock movie soundtrack

I used to work with a girl called Anita Banghar too.

Mrs P used to temp at the hospital when she was at Uni and there was an old guy there called Randy Kiss (pronounced kish)

We keep a list of amusing names at work, there’s some corkers on there, but I can’t remember anything good at the mo.

I work with a guy called Dickon Payne, there’s a guy who works for the company we share an office with called Russel Hobbs.

My old Bank Manger was called Julie Fullalove.

Asked a woman twice what her surname was the other day, then asked her to spell it, turns out it actually WAS Rainbow!

Working in schools gives you so many names to chuckle at – Alban, Ace, Precious, Princess, Pebbles, not forgetting Hastings and his sister Scarlet.
I’d never come across the name Cian before, then got two in one group of ten kids.
But, c’mon, Pebbles… WTAF?

But, c’mon, Pebbles… WTAF?

Don’t speak ill of the Flintstones

Mr & Mrs Sogi had a son called Kuntal.
