Ohh yeah...just remembered the other person I knew that had a funny name...

When I was in Jr. High, there was a girl named "Robyn Peters". I went up to her one time and said, "Are you Robyn Peters?" She said, "yes." I said, "Don't rob mine!" She said, "I think someone already did..." 😉 It was funny cause she was prepared for that question..... She was funny as hell and it was prolly cause of her name. Ironically enough, her mother's name was Sharon.... And she married into that one. Sheesh. 😉
 
I once wanted to legally change my name to Dick Fitzwell.
There was actually a guy around here whose birth given name was Miles Long.
Destined for porn stardom with a name like that.
 
And then there is the ever popular Dick Hertz.

We always tried to get that name on the Study Hall attendance list in HS when we had a substitute teacher.

"Dick Hertz, ..........who's Dick Hertz?"

My Mom has a friend who's daughter married a guy with the last name of Freelove. His mom's name is Sharon. Sharon Freelove. 🙂
 
well my name is bertrand..... i've gone with bert my entire life.. imagine the sesame street references... i guess that's how i came about using humor as a defense mechanism.. but anyhow.. chicks seem to dig bertrand.. especially the college ones... so i guess it worked out for the better
 
I kid you not......... one of my freinds brothers name is Dick Wang also one of my nieces friends name is Pui Sai......... the kid is in 6th grade........ I hope she gets a normal english name before she gets into high school.

Cheers,

Two of the funnier last names I have come across through my work:

Assman
Glasscock

My recent personal favorite was a friend of my wife's cousin. His name was (I'm not sure how to spell it) Juandary (sounds like Juan Dary). He didn't appreciate it when I was joking with him and called him JuanCheerio. No sense of humor.
 
my sister in law just had a baby girl

they named her

Jennings

i think its goofy, its a last name not a first name if you ask me, but i will be nice about it

and BTW , in their family short/nicknames are TABOO, so no, calling her "Jen" or "Jenny" won't be allowed

A girl at my school was named Jessica Budweiser, and once they called over the PA "Jessica Budweiser please go to the teachers' lounge, Jessica Budweiser to the teachers' lounge." not kidding
