Anyone called Hunt who names their son Michael has not thought it through.

Before I hit the beach, I've got about 36 hours to learn all I can from this man - Myke Hawke.

My fiends last name was Cheeseman....that always gave me the giggles.

At the school where my mum works there was kids called Fanny, Funke and Farti (seriously!) There was also a girl called Enema.....the teacher pronounced it E-Nee-maa to be polite and the girls mum told her that's wrong regardless of what it means in the UK. She demanded her daughter be called Enema as its usually pronounced.....poor child!

And another friend of mine (last name Bell) had a baby. Whilst they were coming up with names the hospital had her labelled as Baby Bell!

I actually know a Richard Head who is known as Dick. Mind you if you're not saying his first and second names together there's nothing funny.

No doubt somewhere there's a Christian female called Mo Slem.

I have a colleague in Germany called Uwe Loser. AIso once worked with a bloke called Ewan Kerr, but astonishingly, never even twigged that he had an unfortunate name until after he had left the company & someone pointed it out to me during a conversation about unfortunate names.

I like the marraige ones, where Peter Cushing marrying Whoopee Goldberg would mean he be called Peter Goldberg.

I can see what you're trying to do there, but you've botched the execution just a trifle...

I was at school with a kid named Wayne Kerr,
There's an electronics company of that name, I worked* at their factory in Bognor one or possibly more decades ago back when it was possible to get summer jobs doing actual work* for money instead of having to do that tedious 'gap year' stuff.

Some great American names in Personnel where I used to work back in the 70's. Even rhyming, there was a Jerry Cherry (reminded me of Foxy Loxy and the sky falling on his head!) The most memorable has to be someone asking if I had a Randy Trimble!

Eric Morcambe would probably say, no it's just the way my coat's hanging!

The German name is only humorous if pronounced the English way, in Germany Uwe is pronounced as U-vay, or oovay.

I once saw a joke in a U.S. magazine, a private detective was pursuing a guy named David Sexauer, and had heard that he now worked for a certain company.
He called the company, and when the switchboard operator answered, he said, "Do you have a Sexauer there?"
She said, "We should be so lucky, we only get ten minutes for a coffee break."
