Dr. Killem wouldn’t happen to practice with Dr. De’ath, would he?
(and yes, there is indeed at least one Dr. De’ath out there, who was among my parents graduating class in med school)

I used to work for a guy named Ronald McDonald. He would be about 70 now; much older than the hamburger shill-critter.
I had a customer called Fairley Smart. Could’ve been worse, depending on her choice of husband.
I’m descended from Fanny Leak.
There’s an Esme May May in a nearby town. I know another Esme May, but I don’t know the second one’s middle name.
guilty of working in a call center as well… off the top of my head, Sunshine E. Day. Valid credit report even.
how about a boy named Audrey - but was pronounced Andre? Poor folks didnt know how to spell the name and guessed - or so said “Andre”
I work with Cao Dung.
I attended a lecture in college given by Richard Hertz.

I knew a guy named Kent Clark. We called him Man Super.

A friend of a friend’s first name is Lady and her middle name is Diana. Apparently this is deliberate, as her mother is (or was?) a big admirer. Lady’s sister is named Daisy but no word on whether her middle name is Duck.
My father’s first mother-in-law was born in 1898. To a very royalist family.
Clerk: Surname?
M-i-L: Forster
Clerk: Initials?
M-i-L (proudly): Q Veeee!!!
Clerk (under his breath to my dad): It’s not, is it?
Dad: Yup. It is.
Queen Victoria remained very proud of her name until she died in her nineties. Our Queen Victoria, that is. I don’t think she ever noticed everybody taking the mick.
Er, I read it as “de BRA” you know, woman’s undergarment? ETA: Nevermind, now that I remember how others say zebra, and know what you call a crosswalk. :o
From a friend: Shaholorondra DiAquinita Jones.
My orthodontist growing up was Dr. Hollar.
I happened to read Jimmy Carter’s childhood memoirs over the Christmas holidays, and he mentioned a prominent family in southeastern Georgia whose last name was Plexico. So I would guess that it’s a family name.
But we still call him Plexiglass in our house.

Anyways, at a photo shoot at a big local event a few months ago I saw a middle-aged gent walk past with a nametag stating he is Jack Plunder. Whata splendid pirate name!!
ALso, something I’ve laughed at for many years now, one of my best friends goes to a dentist named Niel Dicker.
I once had the pleasure of verifying the photo ID for the a very nice woman named Prostitutia.
She seemed fun enough, so yes, we asked why.
Her mother thought it “sounded pretty.”
On the occasion of her second confinement, Mrs M was attended by a charming nurse whose name-badge read “Cruella”. And she said “Yes, really,” when she saw me looking at it.
My previous dentist was Dr Screech. You can’t make this stuff up!
or, going with the “royal” theme - Duke, perhaps? Of course, Daisy Duke was a Southerner
I talked to a guy the other day named Dat Ho.
I rented a house once from a guy named Hugh G. Cox.
He fit his name, too.
Ah, I forgot another - my brother had a friend named Harry Van Beest.
We all called him “Mikey.”
My dad went to high school with a guy named Peter Rabbit. He goes by Pete, but still…
This thread has me in tears…
I worked at the transcipts office when I was in college and ran across some bizarre ones. my favorites were:
Margaret Lamb-Slaughter
Ivan Ho
Weiwei Wang
Rainey Summer Day
And of course, on that campus where I worked, was the Hogg Building, named after the family whose children included Ima Hogg. It’s just wrong.
