The funniest (human) names you've come across

In Soviet Russia, Dong Suk Wu!

I’m sorry. . .

I knew Richard Forward (commonly called ‘Dick First’), and Ms. Attack knows Richard Head (Dick Head). Cherry Fruitcake, Mary Christmas and twins, named Starsky and Hutch, as well as the fabulous Crystal Chanda Lear.

Christmas Yule recently wrote into Mother Earth Magazine. I had to add it to my collection of Interesting Names.

Another one, from another Furren Doper which I love, Fanny Ramsbottom

My cousin’s had neighbors growing up whose last name was Hitler.
Tough name.

I knew a guy in the army whose last name was **“Major”. **He was an E-5. So he was correctly addressed as Sergeant Major. It was a mess if the actual battalion Sergeant Major was around, since both of them would react when you called him.

I had a teacher in HS named Mr. Marvel.

When I was recruiting, we were making the obligatory phone calls in the office (which always sucked ass, BTW…I hated making the calls as much as people hated getting them) when the guy next to me, SFC B, calls some house and gets a machine. He begins to leave a message and i hear him say

“Hello, this message is for…chuckle…”
I look at him and I can see he’s straining not to laugh at loud into the phone…

"Dorkus" (sp?)

At the mention of someone named Dorkus we all burst out into laughing. Hey, the job sucked so any entertainment we could get was good. But it got better…five minutes later the phone rings and I answer it.

ME: United States Army. This is Sergeant ********** . Can I help you?
CALLER: Hi…this is Dorkus…

I managed to say “hold please”, and put HER on hold before I started laughing again. When I told SFC B that Dorcus was on the line the laughing started all over again. I don’t know why we thought it was so damned funny at the time, but every time I hear someone called a “Dork” I think of Dorkus.

I have no idea what nationality the name Dorkus is, but I know I’d hate to be in a US High School with it.

This originally from bash.org (I say originally because bash.org isn’t currently working took it from another blog, but it’s the same quote) always cracks me up:

I also went to school with a girl called Amanda Brown. Simple and straight, right? She later got married to a Mr Reen and became Amanda Reen. That always made me laugh.

I am with a Mr Kerr. I am going to call our son Wayne and our daughters Anne and Hannah :stuck_out_tongue:

One of my wife’s employees is currently dating a young fellow by the name of Guy Wonderman. Apparently, he lives up to his name.

There’s a reporter I read occassionaly called Attila Shumplebee. I’ve always liked that.

Did you see it spelled? If not, I’m guessing it was probably actually “Dorcas,” which used to be a female name (though I doubt anyone would use it anymore, at least not in an English-speaking country). I don’t have a cite, but I’m thinking it might even be in the Bible somewhere.

I used to go to school with a girl whose last name was Dorcas (this was in the early 70s) and she used to get teased about it even then. It didn’t help that she fit the name quite well–frumpy clothes, old-fashioned glasses, one of those personalities that just invites picking on (no, I didn’t pick on her–I wasn’t exactly a paragon of social grace myself).

Dunno how far in Japan these companies extend, but there is a small shopping complex near me called Earthtop. There’s also a shipping company somewhere named Earth Travel. All well and good, until you hear Ass Top and Ass Travel.

I had a high school guidance counselor named Richard Stiff; of course we called him Stiff Dick.

I once met a kid named Dasani, his mom introduced him as “Dasani, like the water.”

Recently I shared a giggle fit with a lady I didn’t even know because she had called me up to ask a question about a patient with the last name of Rumplik.

At a place I used to work, a supervisor sent out an email with a typo in it, changing Trudy’s name to “Turdy”. Trudy’s last name? Brown. :slight_smile:

Saw this name during a conference call yesterday, thought it was a joke, but then the guy was introduced:

Lucky Wang

It’s Greek and the equivalent of Tabitha. They both mean gazelle. Apparently Dorkas is a variant spelling.

The Shithead thing is a very popular urban legend. I think we’ve had a few people on this board claim to know/have known of a Shithead or Oranjello and Lemonjello, but color me dubious.

Used to be Latrine.

I came across a name the other day that made me giggle–Norma Lee.

And somewhere a couple named Dick and Gay live on Fairy Lane. That always cracked me up when I saw that one.

My very own uncle is William Williams, he goes by Bill.

I went to school with Mike Butkiss and Chris Kibble. 10 Year olds like not having to do any work to make fun of each other.

When I was a vet tech we had a client who was Clementine Cummer. Her cat was named Luscious. As we normally referred to animals as “petname” “client last name” Luscious Cummer made us laugh every time we pulled the chart.

Also, my personal favorite, was our client Mrs. Teabaggy. We all knew it probably wasn’t pronounced as it seemed, but for her visit our snarky tech announced “Mrs. Tea-baggy, you’re next!” She got a big huffy and said “It’s pronounced teh-BAHJI!”

I also proofread an article in a veterinary dental journal by Dr. Toothachy. I love it.

Pronounced Lah-tri-NAY, of course.

There is a voice actor who does Squidward on Spongebob, whose name is
Roger Bumpass.
I have no idea if this is for real or not, but when I first saw it I had a very good giggle.

I had a teacher in elementary school named Mr. Horr.

Doctor Bonebrake of Wallace, Idaho delivered the four eldest children in my family.

In Fremont, Nebraska, we have Al Pimper Motors.

I wonder if his service department has an account at Slutsky Auto Parts in nearby Sioux City, IA.

The girls’ guidance counseler @ my junior high was Mrs. Butt. Her husband, a gym teacher, wasn’t quite Harry, he was Gerry.
