I posted this on a simliar thread before, wife had a client who was titled 'Lady.....' anyway she was getting married to an austrialian Mr. *unt and pronounced that way, so she would be formally introduced within balls etc she attended as 'Lady *unt'. Wife was in fits of laughter, he wasn't at first going to take her name, think he was bought off to take her name.

My daughter has just told me there is a rumour that a girl named Ophelia Butt lives in the next village....
 
Most don't believe this when I tell them, but I know of a girl called Tess who married a chap with the surname Tekle, genuine true story.
I'm in no position to mock though, I happen to have exactly the same name as a currently popular Marvel character, quite irritatingly.
 
If Whoopi Goldberg was to marry French actor Gerard Depardieu..... She would become Whoopi Doopidoo!
 
I knew a guy once a social worker called Peter Ennis,much funnier written down, but the joke was he was a bit hard and stood out from the rest. Another guy who was a bar manager called Robin Banks, still reckon he was in the wrong job!

I had a customer called Suk Kwok (pronounced exactly like you're thinking), still connected to her on LinkedIn as nobody believes me. Also was a girl at uni called Helen Pine-Coffin which always made me chuckle

Knew of a person called Tamara Knight!
It also amazes me how words meaning changes over time. I had a patient once who was in a facility with his wife. He had mild dementia and used to wander the corridors shouting 'Where's my Fanny' when he got lost! (Fanny being his wife).
 
I once worked for a software company who were employed to install a print CRM system for a company in their Dublin office. For the logins we used industry best practice and used first letter forename and surname, the poor financial director who's parents had named him Phillip Ennis was none too impressed at go live and made the entire business change their logins to full first name and surname :lol:

You should blame your parents for that

Is it not obvious?, if your surname is Hulk, don't call them Incredible
 
Hi!
A colleague once taught a child with the name Dwayne Pipe.
If you want to laugh so hard that you almost injure yourself, try the book Potty, Fartwell and Knob, a collection of names gleaned from census and BMD records.
