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'

The worst one was a guy who lived at the bottom of our old street who was called Brian O'Brien. He was a bit of a weirdo, but I think that most people would be if they'd had to spend their entire lives walking round with that for a label

I never heard of it being slang for poo I thought it was slang for a girl from the 60's (Bit nicer version of "Bird")

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 ...

A friend used to work with an American client contact called Mary Lou Futch. My friend said that while it wasn't quite a rude word it was enough like one to make him uncomfortable every time he spoke to her

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.

Another Bond female name: Plenty O'Toole. "Named after your father, no doubt" quipped Bond.


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.

Our maths teacher was Gordon Bennett too, though that was secondary school.
Not funny but appropriate, our history teacher was Mr Flint.

There is a German ski jumper whose name is Andreas Wank, but is pronounced 'Vank'. In one event he was about to take his ski jump in, only his surname come up on the screen. My wife said "Is that his name, or are they giving the audience an order?" We both fell about laughing.
