What the funniest name you've ever heard for an actual person?

Question

Have you ever heard a name and really just been amazed, and not known why anyone would ever name their child that. Oh and if anyone has these names...sorry.

Answer 1

Mike Hunt

Answer 2

There is an actual person called John Thomas, I think this is about the worst, but if you mean first names I think that all the surnames used as first names, eg Madison, Courtney, etc are really ugly and the most stupid and tacky of all are place names such as Dakota, Paris, etc - no wait on, even worse are names from a brand of merchandise. EG Harley.

But probably the cruelest name I have ever seen given to a child is Shilo Pitt. Spoonerise it and you will see why.

Answer 6

I worked as an admitting clerk in a hospital for a few years and sometimes I had to go into the waiting room and call out people's names... the ones that gave me the most trouble were usually related to vulgarity or slang for bodily functions:

Miss Weenie
Mr. Lipschitz
Mrs. Fuchs

etc.

and my husband worked with a woman whose surname was spelled fukyu.

Answer 7

I've run into several over the years (and I promise I didn't make these up):
A female surgeon named Dr. Butcher.
A neurologist named Dr. Dakter.
A family named Barr, who named their little girl Candy and their little boy Clark.
Then there was the woman on the maternity unit who thought "Placenta" sounded like a nice Spanish name for her little girl. She was, fortunately, talked out of it.

Answer 10

My first girlfriend's grandfather was called "Doc Melk Cheseldick Wilkerson." (From Haywood Country Ten.)

I knew some American volunteers at a hospital in the Puerto Rican interior area. One family claimed that they liked the name the nice American doctor had given their daughter, "Female," which in Spanish sounds like Feh-MAH-leh.
