Ever known someone called Rose Bush? Drew Peacock? Dwain Pipe or Cliff Edge? Yeah, you get the idea. Let's see how many more you can come up with and they can either be fictional characters or actually real people who have those names, and the four I've just mentioned above, are actually believe it or not, real people with those names

I don’t know if this counts, but there is someone around where I lived named Sherlock Holmes. That is his given name, not a nickname.

Mom's partner Joanie actually knew of a couple named Bing and Bong. She said they should've named their child Bang! Of course, these are probably normal names in Asia, but here, they sound a bit funny.

I used to work for a bank. My team leader told me about a guy who used to call when she was an agent called mr cockshooter. Also had a mate tell me once about a guy who called, calling himself mr penis, pronounced, apparently, mr pennis. One of my favourite names just because it was unusual was a mrs clutterbuck. Oh yeah! Also had a call from Tina Turner once. Except this girl was from down south england somewhere adn a damn sight younger than the famous Tina Turner.

My mom was recently telling me about something that happened at work which proves that, just as certain name combinations can be quite...unusual, some initials can be as well. In order for employees to access the network, they have to enter their initials as part of their usernames. One day, she was watching someone from her office logging into the computer system and saw him enter his initials--which turned out to be F.A.G!

I used to work as a bank teller, and I once received a check from Dusty and Sandy Rhodes. I always wondered if Dusty married her to go with his last name. lol

My sister used to work at an insurance agency, and one of her coworkers was named, and I kid you not, Richard Hertz. The guy tried not to go by Dick, for obvious reasons, but of course there were many who still called him that, just because of the combo. Can you imagine trying to live that one down in the professional world? Dick Hertz? OMG, I don't envy that dude.

I had an ex girlfriend that sweared to me that she knew a girl named Ophelia Pecker. Now, of course, there is Michael Hunt. He goes by Mike. Mike Hunt. Imagine over a department store loudspeaker. Can Mike Hunt come to the service desk.

I heard once of a Mr.and Mrs. Duck who named their daughter Mary Rhoda.
I had forgotten about this thread and to post this comment on it. James Stephen (Jim) Hogg (1851-1906) served as Governor of Texas from 1891-1895. Inspired
by a poem written by his brother, he named his daughter Ima. Making her name Ima Hogg. It was a common belief for decades that he had another daughter
named Ura. Hence, Ura Hogg. History reveals that as pure fiction. Whatever the case, there is a Jim Hogg county in Texas, named after him.

A few years ago at school, the teachers wanted to play a trick on the head master on the last day of school. They left a note on his desk telling him that
he had to ring the zoo, and ask for Ella Funt.
(Ella phant).
Another one at the zoo: Mr G Raff
I understand the owner of Lear Jets named his daughter Shanda, a friend of a friend was named Robin Banks, one of the lads at my school was named Justin
Case. I used to work on birth, marriage and death certs many of the names there defy belief.

Its hard to know how many of these to believe! Parents can be so cruel! My aunt was a classroom assistant and one of the kids she helped was called Chrystal Clear. I also knew a girl at college called Jo king, and honest to god her brothers name was wain!

My aunt knows of someone who had the last name of Dick. He finally changed it to Dixon for obvious reasons.

Rose Bush, Rose Bowl, Sandy Beach.

Also, I always think it's kind of funny when someone's first and last names are very similar, such as Dick Richards, Bill Williams, Bob Roberts...

Post 28 by Blue Velvet (I've got the platinum golden silver bronze poster award.) on Sunday, 14-Jun-2009 2:11:26

I had an eye doctor with the last name of Doctor. So she would be paged over the intercom as Dr. Doctor.

I had a friend in high school named Vicky. Her last name began with a D, so her initials were VD.

I wold hate to have the last name Darling. I was in a department store and heard Jean Darling, please come to the front desk. At first it made me laugh because I thought someone was calling his girlfriend Jean, darling, but then realized Darling was her last name.

A teacher of mine in year seven had an aunt Gay and Uncle Lez. Their sirname was boe. Gay Boe and Lez Boe. We gave him grief for that... lol

well before I got married my name was horrible. Holly Hunt. What was my mom thinking? The only thing I can say is that she was going to change the first name to bessie. Ick!!! At least if it had been that i would not have gotten "go hunt holly and hang her on the christmas tree." and "hunt's tomato catsup" etc. etc. etc.

When I got married my mom said "remember that what ever you name your kids they have to learn to write and live with in first grade." Always thought that was good advice. WToo bad she didn't take it for her daughter.

I know a dermatologist here named Dr Spot. In The national Weather service at one time there was a mr. blizzard and a mr. sprinkle. in the National Marine Fisheries Service at one time we had a mr. salmon and a mr. trout.

At my friend leila's church there are two ladies named lasagna. Until they met, Neither was aware that there was another person on earth who shared their claim to fame.

then there's anette curtain. and i'm not joking!

Post 38 by turricane (happiness and change are choices ) on Wednesday, 17-Jun-2009 8:03:08

maybe someone can address this. i think it is new zealand that passed a law that people can't name their kids offensively. I think there were some really whacked out names like death and distruction or potato chips or whatever.

Post 39 by Big Pawed Bear (letting his paws be his guide.) on Wednesday, 17-Jun-2009 10:04:25

i think some names have been changed over the years, and unfortunate things arise.

Post 40 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Wednesday, 17-Jun-2009 13:53:35

If some one named their kid potato chips....I don't know whether I would laugh or just look like what in the world was wrong with you.

Post 41 by Blue Velvet (I've got the platinum golden silver bronze poster award.) on Wednesday, 17-Jun-2009 16:21:41

What about Gwenith Paltro naming her baby Apple? I think celebrities are stupid for the names they give their kids over the past several years. They don't give a thought to what that kid has to go through with a name like Apple, Rumor, etc.

Post 42 by Mlynwei (Last word? Gimmie the first!) on Friday, 19-Jun-2009 17:27:45

Man, don't get me started on celebrity baby names, crazy!
I once had a bus driver who's name was Blanca Florez. That's Spanish for white flowers. But that's not all. Her middle name, which I can't remember the Spanish word for was apparently, Candy. Personally, I'd much rather be White Candy Flowers than Dusty Roads or Ramsbottom.
Also, I heard somewhere that there was a 15th or 16th century poet with the name, get this, William Diaper. Whether that was a sirname at one point or not, imagine growing up with that today! Dick Hurts is looking pretty good all of a sudden...
