View Full Version : funniest real name you have heard
What is the funniest real persons name you have heard? Someone you knew, a friend knew, or what?
You can find funny real name lists all the time on joke boards, but I am after people you know or perhaps you knew someone who knew that person.
The two funniest for me are:
Peter Little (some guy my brother went to high school with)
Harry Richard Head, went by Dick Head (a chick I used to know knew his daughter)
How about the rest of you?
Nothing made up please! :)
ImSoooSure 4-10-02, 04:32 PM I knew 2 people with the last names Walkingstick and Flake. In Jr high I knew a girl named Penny Candy (Poor thing!). Those were kinda funny. I also knew a girl named Ronelle Lavelle. We always teased her that it sounded like a porn stars name! Although so does Penny Candy!:lol:
Shortie Blonde 4-10-02, 04:32 PM John Shortsleeve!!! He's a news reporter on a TV channel around here. :lol:
Thornton Lodeswallaw
This guy bought a car at the dealer where my wife used to work. We called him "Loadswallower". :lol:
I went to high school with a guy named John Picklesimer! :lol:
Dipti Farton. This girl was on my bowling team and always got the fart jokes aimed at her! :lol: She was a nice person though. :)
80sSmurf 4-10-02, 05:38 PM I always thought the name Fuglsang (as in John Fuglsang from AFV) must sound really weird and ridiculus to the entire english speaking world...Funny thing is, it's a danish name meaning something like song of a bird....Yeah, that'll stop the ridiculing :lol: ;)
I used to know a guy named "Yahoo", but I forgot what his last name was.
Shortie Blonde 4-10-02, 05:55 PM There's a girl in my school named Windy. ???
this charming man 4-10-02, 06:33 PM I didn't know him, but my aunt once went out with a boy called Willy Dick.
I also worked with a man called Chris Truelove, I thought that was a cool surname.
I also knew a Peter Little, he was the headmaster at my primary school, but I never thought that funny at the time.
Bill Butz.
He was my account executive at work, a couple years ago.
I never could bring myself to call him Mr. Butz.
Iluvthe80s 4-10-02, 06:42 PM I went to high school with a girl named Rainbow. She claims that is her real name and it was on her birth certificate. Her parents were hippies so that might explain her name.
There was a guy about 2 years ahead of me in high school named Al..last name Poe. :lol:
Cartoon_Chris 4-10-02, 08:43 PM Back in elementary school there was a Flash Flood. He had a sister, Spring. No joke.

There's an Aussie actor named Yahoo Serious (I doubt that's his real name though)
The first two names I thought of when I read this poll were two old teachers. One was called Mr Sowerbutts. He really was a sour butt! And the other was Mrs Towcher. We called her Mrs Groucher because she was. :lol:

They began to talk about their childhood chums, Piggy, Pooty and P.P. Popp! My step-mother and I started to laugh hysterically, and my father and his friend looked at us quizzically. They couldn't understand why we were laughing! :lol:

Baseball names are the best, man. Stubby Clapp is the best one in a while.

WHAT'S IN A NAME?
If your name is Basil Fawlty or Fred Nerk and you think you have problems, spare a momentary thought for poor Bambina Broccoli of New York City, Original Bugg, of Liverpool, or the unfortunate Verbal Funderburk, of Florida, and count your blessings.
Names are important, they help us to establish our sense of identity, so life must be very difficult for those whose names are in any way different.
An American, John Train, has spent years collecting unusual names.
His book, Remarkable Names of Real People, is an education.
One can only wonder at the motives and/or grey matter of parents who inflict upon their children such memorable names as Cigar Stubbs, Aristotle Tottle, Horsey de Horsey, Irish Faircloth Blitch or Toilet Jacobs. They ought to be outlawed for child abuse.
Dignity is necessary in all walks of life but especially to those in positions of authority.
Imagine the difficulties that faced Major Minor in the US Army, Sir Basil Smallpiece, chairman of the Cunard Line in London, or the Commissioner of Education in the Virgin Islands - A. Moron.
Aso try and picture, if you can, Madonna Ghostly, a teacher in Washington, or E. Kickapoo Banfill, lecturer in Oklahoma, trying to maintain some sort of order in the classroom.
A. Toxen Worm, theatrical press agent in New York, Baroness Gaby von Bagge of Boo, and Gaston T. Feeblebunny, also of New York, can't have had it too easy either.
I'm not sure what Mene Mene Tekel Upharsim Pond of Connecticut did for a living, but whatever it was, I bet his name didn't help.
Messrs. Bull and Schytt, glaciologists of Switzerland, and Lawless and Lynch, attorneys of New York wouldn't have to spend much on advertising, likewise Goody P. Creep, undertatker, and Thomas Crapper, of Crapper Ltd., Toilets of London, whose autobiography, by the way, was aptly named Flushed With Pride.
Everyone has heard of Cardinal Sin, of Manila, but the Rev. Canaan Banana of Zimbabwe, Rev. Christian Church, of Italy and Rev. God of Congaree are not so well known.
Doctor Doctor practises in the US, along with Drs. Butcher, Carver, Killer and Bonebreaker.
Dr. Zoltan Ovary is (what else?) a gynaecologist at a New York hospital.
Apparently, here in Australia a few years back a Doctor Killer and a nurse Butcher worked together at Bundaberg Hospital in Queensland.
Dr Screech, a dentist, lives in Essex, and Mrs Screech, a singing teacher hails from British Columbia.
Children are notorious for "re-arranging" names, even ordinary ones. Next time your child comes home complaining that someone has changed his Michael to "Squeak" or his Donald to "Quack", ask him to consider what school life must have been like for poor little Ima Hogg of Texas, Tiny Sprinkle of New York or Sharon Willfahrt of Minneapolis.
I don't imagine school was much fun either for Luscious Pea of New Orleans, Ophelia Legg of Ohio, Violet Butt of Washington or Lettice Goedebed of Johannesburg.
As for poor Halloween Buggage and Mrs Belcher Wack Wack ... aren't you glad you're only Fred Nerk?
sketcher 4-30-02, 09:20 AM I knew someone in my school named Winky Wong. Years alter, at work, while building a website, one of the people's names I had to type in was Bonnie Butts.
We had a customer Terms and Conditions for a home loan come through where I work, in the name of..
'Ms. Phat Ho'
god, how bad would that be?!?!
Brand1974 8-03-04, 05:16 PM In elementary school, our guidance counselors last name was Weiner and her husbands full name was Harry Weiner. That guy must have been the butt of many jokes.
Also, my junior year of High School a student in my class, last name was Coxhead. Seeing that is was an all boys school he changed his last name and used his middle name as his last name. He didn't return for his senior year and I never found out until senior year what his real last name was.
Slayergrrl 8-03-04, 05:38 PM The old computer programmer at my job was named Dick Burns. :lol: My highschool boyfriends name was Kimon. Oh ya, I forgot to add my cousin April May June... Yes, THAT is her real name! Her last name is the same as mine. Scary..

Michigan's Attorney General is Mike Hunt. You'd think he'd at least use Michael for professional reasons, but he doesn't. The whole campaign a couple years ago was "Vote for Mike Hunt." :laugh:

PunkyPower 8-03-04, 08:13 PM Jez's post reminded me that I used to know a couple girls named Fancy and Taffy. I was around 12 or so when I met them and even then I thought "why would somebody purposely give their little baby girl a stripper name??" Taffy is a name for a dog or cat anyway. They weren't nicknames, either.
My cousin's last name is McDonald, so my brothers and I tried to get them to name their last kid Ronald, but they wouldn't do it. :lol:
