A guy I used to work with and I were always coming up with amusing things to pass time beyond the typical work we were faced with.
One of them was to come up with neat names to be paged in the airport or wherever.
Examples to get your juices flowing:
Mr. Lacio; Mr. Phil Lacio
Ms. Lingus; Ms. Connie Lingus
Mr. Adore; Mr. Steve Adore
Ms. Raboomdeeay; Ms. Tara Raboomdeeay
(you get the idea)
Later I have heard some of Garrison Keillor’s “writing credits” that include folks like:
Sarah Bellum
Amanda Reckonwith
Let’s see who can get the prize for the wittiest. The dumbest. The most what-the-hell.
Fire when ready…
Mr. Bombadina, Mr. John Bombadina.
Not terribly witty, but it is mellifluous. Goes through my head at airports every time.
Ms Holdenkiss
Paging Amanda Holdenkiss.
Always worked for Bart
Paging Mr. Closeoff, Mr. Oliver Closeoff.
And Ms. O’Sperm, Ms. Angie O’Sperm. (That one works only for bio geeks.)
Mr. Leather, Mr. Don Leather

Slight tangent:
When waiting at a restaurant that pages you when your table’s ready, the names Donner and Communist are amusing.
“Donner Party, your table is ready.”
“Communist Party, table for three.”

Ms. Voyant; Ms. Claire Voyant
Mr. Living; Mr. Ernie Living
Mr. Onassis; Mr. Xavier Onassis
Mr. Dupray; Mr. Neal Dupray
Listen to Car Talk on NPR-they list a pile of staffers at the end of every show: Marge Inoverra (Statistician), Mike Heester (seat tester), Pikup Andropov (chauffeur), etc.
Two gay scots I heard of: Ben Doon and Philip McCavity
Have these two paged: Makollig Jezvahted and Levdaroum DeBahzted
It sounds like: My colleague just farted, and left the room, the bastard
That and similar were floating around the net-allegedly done at Heathrow & Gatwick.

Have you seen my friend Farrah? Last name Shaka.
And along these same lines, Mr. McKockiner. First name Barry.
…and of course the gay Irishmen: Gerald Fitzpatric and Patric Fitzgerald.
My favorite Car Talk credit was “staff transportation provided by Rick Shaw.”
The girl at the front desk of my grocery store actually fell for one and paged Mr. Hugh Jass.
A stand up comic once talked about paging Mr. Schmidt.
“Paging Mr. John Schmidt.”
“Paging Mr. John Jacob Schmidt.”
“Paging Mr. John Jacob Jinkleheimer Schmidt.”
Then both he and his friend show up and say, “Hey! that’s my name too!”
Paging Miss Dendron. Miss Rhoda Dendron!
Renee Zonts? Tara Kotta?
Mr. Meoff; first name Jack is popular in my office.
Paging Mr. Enway. Mr. Norfolk Enway.
I didn’t make that one up. Got it from some radio show whose name is escaping me at the moment.
Mr. Nechid? Paging Buck …
