Man there sure are lots of funny names here.
In my old hometown (Columbia, MD) there was an orthodontist named Dr. Byron Bonebreak. Needless to say, I went to a different dentist…

Oh, and then there’s the dermatologist, Dr. Whitehead.

I used to go to a dentist named Dr. Miracle.
And then, in school, there were the Allcock & Pigg kids …
Some one I knew in Denver years ago named Harold bottom.
Spelling and grammer subject to change withour noice
My cousin once told me that she had a teacher named Harold Dick. He went my Harry.
Of course everyone made fun of my gullibility so she may have been lying.
We had a gym teacher named Mr. Ichabald. This new kid asked me what his name was while we were in the lunch line and he had just walked past. I said, “his name is Mr. Ichyballs” and she calls out “Excuse me, excuse me Mr. Ichyballs!”
All the kids in the line just collapsed with laughter cause he always was scratching his teabags during gym…
Walter Winchell an old time gossip monger on radio…his real name was Isidore Lipshitz.
I mentioned in another thread, a Cuban national who served as our seamstress at the Naval Hospital in Gtmo Bay. Pronounced properly her last name sounded out as Anus. (I don’t know how it was spelled in Spanis - Enis, is a possibility.
She was such a nice person, though, that although I wanted to, I never did greet her with a “Buenas Anus!”
My middle school band director was named Richard Steele, but he went by Dick. And the doctor who performed my mother’s arthoscopic surgery was named Dr. Docter.
The agriculture teacher at my high school was Mr. Green.
My driver’s ed teacher was Mr. Guy…kinda repetitive.
When I was a temp, I spent a week in a gynecology office as Dr. Good’s secretary. In the same office there was a Dr. Fish.
There’s a reasonably well-known TV presenter over here called Gay Search.
One of the doctors at my local surgery was called Dr De’ath
Oh, and also on an apostrophical note, I’ve always found the Scottish surname O’Nions quite amusing, too.
There was a girl at school whose last name was Crapper - Jackie Crapper. You’d think you’d change your name…

"Bewar of the Cog:
“Fuchs” is a common German surname, and wouldn’t raise eyebrows over there, as it simply means ‘fox’ in German.
However, I knew one gal who had the unfortunate name of Brenda Fick. (“Fick” means ‘f*ck’ in German.) Btw, “Fick” is not considered a German surname for obvious reasons. And although Brenda did not have German lineage, she did have an erstwhile ancestor whose lack of German-speaking abilities resulted in shortening the family name to “fick.” A little learning can go a long way in instances like these.
From an obituary in yesterday’s Atlanta Journal-Constitution, I give you Lindalu Mamary.
(hit “submit” too soon)
and here in the local phone book, as God is my witness, you’ll find Tony Titman. (wonder if he ever knew Lindalu Mamary?)

“Your name is Chon Wang? That’s a terrible cowboy name!”
[/OW, SN]
I love that line.
At work there is a gal with a last name of Beavers, and I just ran across a new one today that I’ve never seen before: Sleep.
My favorite unfortunate last name story was told to me in basic training. A guy in the Navy with a last name of Stane. His rank was Seaman.
There’s a dentist in town called Dr Booty.
Yeah, it would be funnier if he were a proctologist, but you can’t win them all.
One day I was bored, and looking for funny names in the phone book. I came up with these two gems:
Rusty Flack (sounds like something a smoker would hack up!)
Hannahlore Mahoney
I met a girl at a party earlier this year named Yvonne Head.
