Anyone know anybody with a stupid/rude sounding name?

I know a Sarah Shotbolt :D

and a paint sprayer at our bodyshop was Wayne King. I'm serious, I took the guy on, saw his papers. My god, how cruel were his parents???

We had a Richard Long - although he insisted that he should be called Dick ("Richard is my father"!). The internal phone directory was in the form Surname Forename - e.g. Smith Mike

Go figure ....

There's a guy here in work called Chris Peacock, he got so fed up with all the jokes about his name he started signing his name using his first initial i.e. C Peacock. Obviously, he didnt fully think that one through LOL

So, everyone now calls him seepy :)

Dave you read my mind I've been meaning to start a thread on this for ages. We have a local civils firm called Hugh J O'Boyle (huge boil) they have loads of liveried vans but I keep missing them for a photo. I think his parents must have had a giggle when they came up with that one. We also have another firm called Crepe Manufacturing say crepe in a posh accent then you'll get it.
Can't see it from my house

A man on along haul flight noticed the beautiful young woman sitting next to him reading a book titled "strange but true sexual facts." "interesting" he asks. "yes" she replies, "for instance, did you know that the american red indian has the longest cock in the world and a scotsman has the thickest"! "Oh i'm sorry" she said" my names Julie & yours"? He replies "Tonto Mctavish". :laugh:

It may seem to be apocryphal but I do really know a Michael Hunt, who does not like being shortened to Mick or Mike. I can't imagine what his parents must have been thinking!

I have a irrational hatred of 'combination names' for businesses - you know, the sort where Stephen and Mark team up to form "Stemark". It's so feckin' cheesy!

And there are certain trading names that worry me. Have you noticed just how many of the itinerant traders style themselves "Four Seasons Landscapes"?

As for "Ace of Spades....!!!!" :angry:

When I was working in a shop many, many moons ago I sold a guy a TV. He passed me his credit card, I took one look and struggled not to explode. He looked at me like he was daring me to say something. I assume his first name was Colin, but there was only an initial. His surnale was Unt. I kid you not.
