Was in a few classes a while back with Holly Wood.
And my teacher’s name is James Bond, though he goes by J. Arthur Bond. He was probably just unfortunate, probably born before the movies came around.
I work in payroll with 1500 employees. Our company tends to hire a majority of foreign people, and with no prejudice intended, they have some wild names!!! We have a lot of them that we are amused by like DELTON SHELTON or GENIUS ROGERS or AHMED AHMED, PRINCESS LATISHA MURAN, DICK HALL, ABDULAHE ABDURHAJAMAN, AIMON PAYNE…there are so many more but I cannot remember them all. The best one I have ever seen though was a sign for an OBGYN DR that said R. U. ORNEY which said aloud sounds comical…
sorry, dont have last names. when i was a kid, we lived in an apartment complex and a vietnamese family had two kids-truck and van.
my mother worked in the alabama school system. she swore to me (personally i think that this is an urban legend) that there were two twins in the school-o-RAN-jallo, and le-MON-jallo…

For more amusing names, may I humbly suggest one of my most successful threads ever.
And, last, but not least, spotted on a marquee wishing happy birthday to a little girl at a daycare: **Autumn Miracle **
There’s a vendor of mine whose name is Sherry Berry.
One of my old bosses names was Thomas L. Thomas. Once when he was filling out paperwork for a work trip to China he asked me if your surname was your first or last name. I just looked at him and asked if it really mattered. We both laughed.

I know a guy who had his name legally changed to Tox Ic.

Former ECU chancellor Richard “Dick” Eakin
In high school, there was a kid named Ranger Whipple.
And, mindful of Eve’s mention of Fuk Yoo…when I worked in fundraising at St. Edmund’s Hall, Oxford, we had an Old Member named Yuk Foo. Dr. Spooner, another Old Oxonian, would have been proud.
Summer Saltz. I knew her when she was in nursery school, lo these many years ago.
Una Corn. A married name; the first name is pronounced with a consonant Y at the front. I don’t know her personally, but she is active in a group that a friend of mine belongs to.
A man just arrested here in my town was named Omnipotent Unique [Dayton or Drayman or some other perfectly ordinary last name] by his parents. Mrs. snac and I figure his troubles began then.
My old english teacher said he went to school with a kid name, Jack Kenoff .Nuff Said
In my little Oregon hometown, the owner of a used car dealership was **Otto Byers **. What other profession could he have gone into, with a name like that?

How about our old Optometrist?
Drs. Kahn and Diel
