Sometimes I want a random, funny name to insert into some strange story or conversation or something. I mean old-fashioned and fancy or maybe even aristocratic-sounding names- you know, three syllables long or so, etc. I can’t even think of any example to explain what I’m talking about, but hopefully someone gets the idea. Let’s hear some first names and last names that can be combined randomly for endless humor.
(I sure hope someone understands what I mean…)
How about CottsWald Devonshire ? Is that the type of thing you are talking about? I just made that one up.
I think the following first names have some entertainment value:
Reginald
Rollie
Aubrey
Ashley
Carlton
And these last names may indeed prove mirthsome:
Wrigglesworth
Finklestein
Karp
Klamm
Hoofer
Observe:
Ashley Finklestein
Carlton Wrigglesworth
Rollie Karp
Aubrey Klamm
Reginald Hoofer
Jolly good, what?
Chauncey Dalton Featherstonewaugh III
Incidentally, for the purposes of your story, at least, “Featherstonewaugh” is pronounced “Fuh.”
Rupert Madden Knickersley-Knockerbotham.
Honoria Snodgrass-Wigglesworth
Yes, yes… those are just the types I’m looking for! Thanks, keep 'em coming!
Reginald T. Witherspoon II
…got nothin.
Cashinstock Pocketsworthy
Thurston L. McNamara, Sr.
Catsmeat Potter-Pirbright (thank PG Wodehouse for that one!)
Sylvestre Thruppington-Spence
Wellington Henderson III a real person, by the way, who was called “the man with the million-dollar name” (“Get a name like that on your Board of Directors and the suckers will break your doors down to give you money”)
There’s also her sister, Mildred. Mildred Snodgrass-Wigglesworth.
Or maybe they’re one person with a middle name: Mildred Honoria Snodgrass-Wigglesworth. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
How about Aubrey Whippleston? Octavian Liversluffer? Or Wapcaplet–Adrian Wapcaplet? (With or without miles of string cut into 3 inch lengths.)
Eugenia Whangbanger. Oliver Guelphen-Huegelson.
I used to subscribe to magazines with this name:
Abijah T. Bindersnatch
The postman made it a point to tell me he loved that name.
My name is my cite on this one.
Re Americans, the real cachet is in having the initial first: F. Murray Abraham beats Lee J. Cobb every time.
Hmmmm…Sir Blah Von Dingdong III? No, wait…it’s been used already.
Spencer Clippingsworth-Twistleton (relative of Pongo)
Aurora Billingsley-Whippen
Another excellent name is Smyth (pronounced Smith). Once knew a man called John Smyth. Classy in that understated British, no-need-for-all-that-initials-numbers-junior-senior-nonsense, kind of way.
Oh, wait–QUINCY!!! No-one’s yet used the name “Quincy.” I can’t believe we’ve gotten so far without it.
Quincy Thruppinsmurch.
Well, yes. But the point of this thread is to come up with ridiculous names. Classy and understated isn’t ridiculous, no matter how hard you try.
Not as aristocratic, but every bit as horrible:
Annabelle Throckmorton
Mabel Groatsworthy. Well, that one’s not as awful as some of the others in this thread. But that can be fixed with a hyphen and another name. Let’s try Mabel Clackingston-Groatsworthy. Yeah, I think that’s much improved.
Lord Oswald Fenkleman Murdoch
St. John Fitzgerald Pennypacker IV
Rupert Reginald Klinensmythe VIII
Happy Lendervedder
Crenshaw Jones III
Beasley Egon Longfellow
Phillip Cedric Highstone, Esq.
E. Ron Huckleberry
