When I was working in Zambia I had a girl called Shitpee in my class. I’ll never forget that. ---

In the last month… Fyle Cabonet. Do Bang. Jie Oh. This one was funny because I was trying to find a phone # for them. That effort was complicated by the fact that Jie is a town in Ohio, so searching under Jie Oh was nearly an exercise in futility. ---

Tan Cheese. We call her Tanny, and she’s really nice, but when I first heard her name I had to stifle the giggles. ---

I went to school with Wendy House and the headmaster was Mr. Cuss. As an airport rep I had the Valentines, the Hearts and the Loves arrving on one flight - not funny alone but as a combo it was. Mr. Death arrived with a big grin - very animated and ALIVE - lovely bloke with a big smile hastening to tell me it’s pronounced “Deeth” as I thought. He told me people are often hesitant to meet him so he’s all into cheery greetings - poor guy. ---

Ha. Lovely, lovely girl. Smart, funny, sexy, wonderful. But I always felt a little strange greeting her. “Hi Ha.” Another smart, funny, sexy, and wonderful woman I knew at that time had the last name Ho. At one point, I was supposed to meet up with her, as well as her sister who was just coming in from out of town. I never did connect with them, but on my way through the city I met a sexy young thang who looked very much like my friend. Could have been her sister, seriously. I was sorely tempted to ask her “Are you a Ho?” [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-funniest-human-names-youve-come-across/462224.md?page=2)
