Funny last names.

Around here, we have a realtor named Bob Boob. The director of the local symphony is named Robin Fountain. And a local businessman is named Al Clapper.

I can imagine the fun with that one! :smiley:

So does the singer Bruce Cockburn.

Here’s mine: I talked to these people at my job.

Last names: Mohead, Momboy, Fischedick, and Ramsbottom.

I also talked to a guy whose last name is V. Yep, just V.

Some of the foreign names like Ng and Nt crack us up. Can I buy a vowel?

I also have talked to someone whose first name is Shamama. My wife talked to someone with the first name of Shithead (pronounced Shith-ee-ad).

My office had a client named Beneatha Lake. Oh, and there was also a Harry Johnson.

My english teacher is a Mr. James Sigafoos

There was a dentist with the first name Hertzat my old synagogue.

I used to go to a doctor named (I kid you not) Dr. Bob Blob.

In Hammersmith in London there is a dentist called Phang!

When I was at high school I knew a guy called, most unfortunately, Peter Holder.

Private Eye Magazine has been publishing such names (and also funny shop names) for over fifty years. Watch this spot- changes every two weeks:

I attended a Catholic grade school up north. A classmate of mine had the last name of “Bata”, pronounced BAY-tuh. When our nun was unable to teach we had a strict straight-laced lady who substituted. She addressed all female students as “Miss” and all male students as “Master.” (Yes, she was a more feared disciplinarian than our young unhabited nuns of the seventies.) It was always worth a day of strictness just to hear the roll call when this proper lady called out “Master Bata?” This was always followed by our barely stifled laughter. I thought it would have been funny if all the boys responded in unison with “Present!” But that would have taken a nerve we didn’t possess and we never “pulled it off.”

What, did they cut the nerve off?

I think you’d have to try pretty hard to pull the apparatus in question off, as it’s generally rather firmly attached.

there’s a prostethics maker in my area called Beenhakker.

While this is not remotely funny in english, you should consider that in my language (dutch) Been means Leg, and Hakker translates to Slasher.

There used to be a law firm where I live called Johnson, Kram & Harder

I met up with a woman recently whose last name was **Popejoy **.

Indian names are common around here. The best one I ever saw was Roberta Heap of Birds.

I had a spanish teacher whose name was Mr. America.

Then there was Dick Assman, a gas station owner in Canada who was a featured guest of David Letterman for about a month.

I got teased like that when I was a kid. :wink:

My Junior High Chorus teacher was Mr. Nail. His first name was Woodrow, but wanted to be called Woody. Yep,** Woody Nail**. Since he was a very nice man and well respected, he was never teased. May he rest in peace.

I also went to High School with a Scott Dick and a Tabitha Fagg.

My late and sainted Mom, rest her soul, who whose 100th birthday is next month, had an 8th grade teacher named Harry Tubalz. No surprise, it was as funny in 1916 or 17 as it was to me at 13 and would be to the current crop of 13 year olds. She always told the story as if she didn’t get it and I was sure she didn’t get it (because Mom wouldn’t know what a ba** was!!!)

One of my best friends has the last name of Toker, and I knew a guy in high school with the last name of Stoner.

I’ve had family doctors Dr. Breaststicker and Dr. Midol.

My dermatologist’s name is Dr Gratton (french for “Scratch”).
My gynecologist’s name is Dr Wiener
The guy who makes the kids cross in front of school is name Mr. Larue (french for “street”.

Guess some people’s names are just pre-destined !
