I had a biology teacher called Pete Marsh and went to school with a girl called Nova Carr - oh how she got some stick when Vauxhall named their Fiesta challenger!

In the paper about a month ago there was a guy called Butch Gaylover, American obviously. I don't know how the journo managed not to mention the hilarity.

There was a BMW dealership in Harrogate owned by Eric Hunt, but all his signs said Eric G. Hunt, boring man.

And a double glazing firm run by the wonderfully-named Hedley Cockshot.

Many moons ago I used to work with a Mike Hunt. On a plant shutdown I needed to get hold of him or his side kick, Tony Havercroft, who were sharing a walkie-talkie. Convinced that I couldn’t say Mike Hunt over the radio without cracking up I went for the safe option, but got it all wrong and called him Tony Hovercraft. He wasn’t impressed.

That poor girl in Birmingham, Ms P.E. Cotton.

Polly Esther Cotton, of course.

pmsl @ Tony Hovercraft

I remember reading in a paper many moons ago about a couple calling there new born son Drew, Nice name if there sirname was anything but peacock!!

At school I had a science teacher called Tes Tickle and she had a daughter called Pat.

Also lol @ Tony Hovercraft!

I went to college with a girl called 'Iona Hore' never did find out if her middle name was 'crack' or 'filthy'. She changed her name, not unsurprisingly!

Did Pat call her dad Pa?

Vet down the road from us is called Owen Money :). Although for some reason he wants to be called Mr "Moaney" - Bucket/bouquet anyone 🙂

I have worked with a Mr Mann, Ben Down met a Mr Tickle who pronounced it tickel. Had to put a tannoy call out for a Mrs Verjee who did surprisingly not respond to the Mrs Virgin announcement.

my mates sister had a friend called kimberly clark

Doctors Cox and Bottom

My wife knows a Dr Pepper, Dr Death, and of course Doc Martin.

Recent one of her mates, Dr Wright married a Dr Payne. We suggested they go for a double-barrelled surname, but they strangely refused.

at uni had a lecturer called Cecil Pitt, he preffered the longer version ...

I've always found the sign 'Family Butcher' as an interesting concept

Luckily he was dragged from the wreckage by the Smiths.

We used to have someone called Pinki Kok, but I think Wayne Kerr still works in one of the other offices.

In my class at junior school we had a Mark Brown. Not funny, but how we laughed every day when the teacher read the register as 'Brown Mark'!! And he had to say 'Yes Miss'!

I'm a teacher and there's been a few funny ones but in one class this year there's a boy who's first name is Beckham and a girl who's first name is Princess Diana.

I worked with a bloke whos surname was "Loverseed" yuck.

My surname is head (but spelt slightly differently) so there are many comical variations. Luckily my parents were kind enough to avoid any obvious pitfalls like Richard, although my sister was nearly named Holly. Said sister has since married a guy with surname Williams, but being a modern (awkward) woman she took a double barrelled name with our surname first.

Was shopping in Monsoon with her about two months ago, she reaches to her purse for her credit card with the name Mrs Head-Willi as they couldn't fit the whole thing on the card. I shit you not the whole shop knew about it by the time I had regained my composure. Admittedly probably funnier for me than you.

Once had to telephone a woman called Karen Fuchs. After much deliberation I pronounsed it ****s.

Used to have a GP called Dr Dick. His father worked in the same practice. My wife took fiendish delight in telling me she had big dick or wee dick when she had to visit the good doctors.

A friend of mine once met a guy called Dickon Horsey.

Used to run the bar at my local golf club. There was quite a prolific golfer who used to win a lot of competitions called Michael Hunt.

The M.C. at the prize presentations would always announce..."and the winner is...Mike Hunt"! 😈

In a previous job there was a Matt Rogers and a Guy Roughly, not really amusing in isolation, but they worked in the same department and their names appeared in the department role call alphabetically:

Oh dear.

if you live in Buxton you may be fortunate enough to have your carpets fitted by Michael Hunt and your plumbing done by Paul Mycock. Titter titter 😆

I do think the chief of the health and safelty exec. has quite an unfortunate name... Justin McCracken! But at least it's not Philip!
