Time yet again for another installment of " Amusing Names"

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

This thread is great. By the time I got to this point, I was already crying… my nose is still running.

I don’t have any really funny ones, but a couple friends who have ‘it’d suck to be them’ ones: Mark McGuire, who cuts hair, and Joe Black, the college student.



Bounder:  Morning, I'm Bounder of Adventure.  
Smoketoomuch:  Hello, I'm Smoketoomuch.  
Bounder:  Well, you'd better cut down a little then.  
Smoketoomuch:  I'm sorry?  
Bounder:  You'd better cut down a little then.  
Smoketoomuch:  Oh, I see! Smoke too much so I'd better cut down a little then!  
Bounder:  Yes, ha ha... I expect you get people making jokes about your name all the time, eh?  
Smoketoomuch:  No, I never noticed it before.

Joe and Mark have both noticed it before, as probably everyone else mentioned in this thread, so do them a favor and don’t make a joke. :slight_smile:

I doan geddit.

I think that’s funnier than cruel. If the parents are the type to make a joke name, wouldn’t you want them to use the middle name?

82

If my mum had married her college sweetheart she’d have been Ann Organ & there’s a woman in the UK film industry called Charity Charity.

83

knew a Rich Jew once

84

Well it depends on how long ago you went to school. There is a television show host named Donahue, (I never watched him) and it so happens he is making some return to television apparently.

85

A friend of mine works for an insurance agency. Their clients include Al Pecker and Christine Crotchfelt. Imagine that wedding inivtation - we proudly invite you the the wedding of Christine Crotchfelt to Al Pecker. How perfect would it be if she hyphenated her name?

There’s a large family in this area whose last name is Heine [hi-knee]. I once had to call one of the homes, and not being sure how to pronouce it I said Heine [h- eye-n], she quickly corrected me by saying, “oh no dear, its hiney.” OK, whatever you want.

I don’t know if this counts, but one of our photographers [I work at a newspaper] once took a shot of this kid who told her his name was Mike Oxbigg. Nobody thought anything of it, until the calls started the next day. What we had failed to realize is if you say the name aloud quickly, you end up with … that’s right, My Cock’s Big! Between this kid and his friends, we sold a few extra issues that week.

86

A guy at school pulled a stunt on live radio like that - told them his name was Hugh Jorifice. Actually his real-life surname was Whetter which is pretty freaking awful in itself.

Tiffany Spittle has got to be a really shitty name.

87

My first name is Anita. I went to High School with a family of boys named Dick. Imagine the hilarity if i ever dared to date or marry one of them!

88

I hear ya! The clinic where my OB-GYN works has a female physician there by the name of Dr. Bush. This is almost as bad as the one my parents knew of whose name was Dr. Seymour Kuntz (supposedly pronounced “koonts”). :eek:

89

a friend of mine got a call at work from a man called Nicolas Hoare (knickerless whore)

**Wikkit ** Dwayne Dupree is just funny sounding. Du-Wayne Du-Pree. Sounds like a lisp or Elmer Fudd Impediment.

93

A few years ago the local newspaper had a death notice for,and I swear it’s true ,Love N. Peters . Wonder if she ever heard any jokes about her name?

94

My first boss named her daughter Roseanne Thorn. Roseanne was her grandmother’s name and she never thought of the pun-ishness.

My brother (God help us) named his son Frederick Flint. Which wouldn’t be too bad, except that my maiden name was Stoney.

95

I went to college with someone named Roxanne Clay. The poor girl heard it even then.

Ah. Knew a Dwayne in high school. Didn’t pronounce it du-wayne. Done with fragments.
