There is a Vietnamese restaurant at the King's Road end of Sydney Street, Chelsea, named Phât Phúc.
It always makes me smile, apparently the correct pronunciation is Pat Puk, and it is alleged to mean happy. |

We use a one-man transport firm occasionally and he is called C P Duck Transport.
His first name is Chris, making him Chris P Duck. |

A quick Google shows that there have been real life Colonel Mustards and Professor Plums.

I also used to know a Mike Hunt, must be fairly common.
There was that webpage for some American high school yearbook thing from 1993 that was doing the internet rounds about 14 years ago; sadly it's no longer accessible. It did contain the rather sexily named Demetrius Breedlove. It also contained the unfortunately named Ginger Minge. Who later got married and became Ginger Box... |

Years ago, I worked with a woman called Shirley. When she married, she became Shirley Worley (the names rhyme).
Then they bought a house in Purley. |

German show jumper Michael Fuchs, hmmmm indeed. British commentators always pronounce it 'Fooks'.

My first day at school in a new country - my teacher was Miss Poulou and I sat next to Johan Fuchs. Makes me giggle to this day.

Tokyo Sexwale - he ran for FIFA president recently. Apparently Tokyo is not his real first name though.
Dick Pound - he is something to do with athletics/swimming. Sounds like a 1970s porn star.

I found the name Eric so funny that I gave the name to my budgie when I was 8. I still do find it a bit funny.
![]() I only knew one Eric myself, a boy in school whose name was Eric Rice. His surname being an anagram of his first. ![]()
