I once knew a guy who was asked if there were any jobs going in the elderly people's home that he ran. He told the enquirer that he'd take her details and get back to her, then asked for her surname. 'Siddybo Tom', she told him, blushing awkwardly. Baffled, he asked her how it was spelled. Back came the reply - 'S-i-d-e-b-o-t-t-om'

I knew a girl called Jenny Taylor, which made me laugh even if not quite the real deal.

My uncle was once on the selection board for an airline's pilot training scheme. A woman whose surname was Goodbody tried to sue the company, claiming that the panel had sexually harassed her and made lewd comments about her name during the interview. Their (ultimately successful) argument was that they'd done no such thing, but unfortunately a couple of panel members could not suppress a giggle when she introduced herself ... Quote:
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!

I once had dealings with a solicitor called Rupert Bear.
I think he was based in Nottingham. Was a right supercilious arse as well. This was quite a few years ago, back in the 1990's. Don't know whether he still practises or not. |

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

One name I once saw on an official document which made me blink and look at several times was Mr Quentin Winkle. No reason why that should make anybody chuckle, but I just couldn't help myself. |

Friend of mine met a Danish bloke called Bent Bach (pronounced Back).
I was banned from a forum for mentioning Tom Wank, a well-known US TV producer. |

My cousin is actually called Christian Peace which I've always thought funny. His family aren't religious at all.

Not funny but appropriate, our history teacher was Mr Flint. |
