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
Jen.
Oops! Topic title should say unfortunate names combinations. Sorry about that.
Jen.
Hmm. what could I think of? I don't know I'll ha8e to think on it.
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!
Aw'w'w, my, god! Keep it going chaps and chapesses, lol. Of course if I think of any more, I'll post them.

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.
there was also a race jockey called malcolm bastard wasn't there.
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.
Imagine having the inicials B.M. Trueth, know the person...
My gran used to work with a woman called Roda Dickie. No joke! And one of her friends was called Fatti Cunti!
A youth leader was discussing this very topic with me several years ago..... Apparently she knew folks named, Lake Erie High, and Faith Hope Love.
I actually found a whole bunch of these a few years back... I can put it here, if you want
*smiles*
Hey, you find them, I'm sure they'll amuse us. go ahead.
Where I work we have a guest who checked in by the name of mr. handycock. Then there is also Mr. Pigg and if you say pig he gets very angry as that is not how it is pronounced.
I once had a teacher is primary school called Mrs Farker and a teacher called Mrs MObed.
And next door I have a neibourgh called Craig Bustard. He is training to be a police Man. Can you imajen a police man with that name? Lol.
ok, this is what I found a while ago.
hope you like it.

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.

i went to school with a ben dover. and a friend of the family's name was Sandy ball. and she married a guy with the last name beach. so it's now sandy beach. and with her maden name it's sandy beach ball!
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.
i heard of a police officer called david lawless. heheheheh how unfortunate the sirname there!
This is both good and bad depending if you like Harry Potter or not, but I've heard and met a few James Potters. Hahahahaha! Ideal, but terrible? Wait... that didn't make much sense did it... pick your choice then, ideal or terrible.
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...
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
lol! I love the Dr. Doctor and Jean Darling! Anyway, no joke, but I heard of someone who was named Harry Cuchi! hahahaha!
Sandy
I love the iona ramsbottom.
Well, this isn't his name, but my friend who used to drive my best friend and I to wrestling practice was named Mihaly. His initials were MPS. His dad's initials? PMS. Love that.
ahahaha omg these are incredibly funny. i know many and they're true, but they're in italian
of course there is always the chancellor of the exchekor in the Uk, alester darling. heheh and there's an ed balls too, he's at education. eheh
or i heard of an orsen cart.
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.
How about Dr. Pain, Dr. Hurt, and Dr. Blood.
then there's anette curtain. and i'm not joking!
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.
i think some names have been changed over the years, and unfortunate things arise.
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.
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.
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...
One of my cousins is named Blanca Delgado, which in spanish means white skinny. lol!
Sandy
nicole kidman's daughter is called sunday rose even though she was born on a monday, allot of celebrities give their children strange names.
Man I love these!!!
Rob Banks, Harry Pitts.
