Toppie Smellie - an old lady from a stuffing commercial in the '70s
Wally Schnalle - a drummer who taught at the place I used to take lessons. His website is “itrhymes.com”
Did he pronounce it Phil Cah-bow-nay?
When I was a kid in early public school, there was a kid in class named Mark Smellie.
I recently reviewed an iPhone app by a man named Clint Bagwell – which would be an awesome porn star name.
I met a guy named Mr. Turnipseed once.
Poor guy.
Peter Enis. On a file folder it was P. Enis
Lenny Denny (8th grade)
Hilarious Windschittel.
Friend of my father-in-law’s, who unfortunately died well before I met my husband.
Ones that stick out from work:
Elizabeth Laundry.
Rozylnn Troll.
A couple: Mr. Beaver & Ms. Finger.
Ken Dahl.
We have a Manmit in our office. (Pronounced “Man-meat.”) Depending on context, this frequently breaks my shit up, it will never get old.
Ulick Sweeny still cracks me up.
In my son’s 4th grade class there was a Timber Woolf.
An electrician in the union I worked for… his name was Yung Hung Lo.
I went to middle school with a girl named Fashion Pfab.
My buddy once told me of a classmate whose name was Shithead (pronounced ShitEED).
When I went to USAF Basic, we had an airman recruit whose last name was spelled “Loser”, but pronounced “Low-zure”. And, yes, he had a hell of a time in Basic.
Oh, and now that I think about it, once I got to USAF permanent duty, we had a Sergeant Coward. Good thing he never went to OCS… would be a problem when he got promoted to O-4.
I wonder if he’s any relation to Toppie? Not exactly a common name, I’d think.
Forgot one–the spouse used to work with a guy named Hari Haran Dahandapani (or maybe it was Harandahandapani. I never saw it written.) Which is probably not at all funny in India, but it’s fun as hell to say!
My psychiatrist was called Dr Brain, first initial, P. I shit you not.
Just remembered, Dr Gabby is a dentist down the street from me.
There’s a Prince Salami at my company.
My oral surgeon when I got my wisdom teeth out was named Dr. Fear. I briefly considered scheduling with the other doctor in that office… but he was Dr. Hitchcock.
And this isn’t such an uncommon name, but it leads to funny. One of my dearest friends has the last name of Wang. He is Chinese and he is six feet tall, with an identical twin brother.
Naturally, we refer to them as The Six Foot Wangs.
Hunsucker is a fairly frightening surname. It conjures up a good many weird mental images. (and, yes, it’s a real name.)
I went to school with a girl whose last name was Quirk.

I went to grade school with a guy named Shannon Quincannon.

When I worked in customer service, I talked to a guy who had legally changed his name to “Luke Skywalker.” He sounded kind of sheepish when I asked him for it…
Elbert Stufflebean
And…
Doris Gay Pfister. :eek:
