The rules for creating a funny name:
- The first name should be some obsolete name that’s not often used: Eustace, Melvin, Seymour, Hortense, etc. Also, the name of a city is good.
- Middle initial is required. Q, L, or J are especially good.
- The last name is a noun, usually describing a common object or animal. It can also be a compound of two nouns, or a noun from another language. Misspelling is allowed.
Thus:
Eustace Q. Stapler
Hildegard P. Coatmitten
Elmira L. Hassenpfeffer
Horace H. Herring
Johnstown J. Fludde
Quentin J. Warthog
Nigel J. Shallingforth, Esq.
Whenever I’m doing database testing, I make sure I use obviously fake names that I can take out harmlessly afterwards … Jeremiah Belchtrouser and Arbuthnot Clenchwomble are a couple of favourites of mine.
Armitage Shanks*, who lives in the small Welsh coastal village of Scantilly Clad.
*Toilet manufacturer in the UK.
Not Quincy! Quentin! You must be pretentious!
Quentin Alloicious Snodquist IV
Eliphalet Brackett (as if that isn’t pretentious enough)

Rufus Sphincterclencher
Morris P. Mossycrotch
Penelope Highbeams
Violet Sugarpants
Jemima J. Jiggleblouse
I have a friend whose first name is Quentin. He’s as English as you like, and so are his parents. His middle name is Edouarde. And his sister is Giselle Juanita.

When starting this thread, I had forgotten the name with which I used to sign some e-mails:
Lord Piggiston (Greedulance MMCMLXXVIII, of the House of Boyle)
