I started this one before a while ago, but it was just so much fun I thought I'd try it again!

Just share funny names you've come across, whether it is a last name, first name, nickname or business name.

William William Williams and Thomas Thomas. Real names, Folks! Were these parents unimaginative or what? I have more of these.

Richard (Dick) Seaman

I used to work in a hospital ER and it was funny how many docs had names suited for their specialities...
Dr Cockburn... pronounced Coe Burn... urologist
Dr Shams... pain mgmt who always had problems with insurance authorization... probably because he was a sham?
Can't remember the others right now. *pout*

My dentist office is Friendly Smiles run by Dr Friend and Dr Smiley. A Dr Love also works there.

Three brothers came into my ER. All named Perry Smith. Never understood why the parents didn't put the middle names as the first. Very confusing!
Perry George Smith
Perry Robert Smith
Perry Travis Smith

Hired a dishwasher when I worked in GA. His only legal ID was his birth certificate showing his legal first name to be Catfish. When I asked why Catfish, he replied, "Well, that's what my Momma was eatin' when I was made!" Oh my!

Don't know that anything besides Dr Cockburn and Dick Seaman make your criteria but I've always remembered the other names.

I went to see a walk-in doctor and he introduced himself as Dr. Lowcock. I couldn't believe my ears, and asked him to repeat a few times, by then I was red!

I was at work and there was a mom, who was having a hard time managing her toddler, he kept running off, knocking things off the shelves...he was very active, but wouldn't listen to her. She then put her hands on her hips and yelled " Jesse James come here right now!"

My daughter befriended twin boys...whose names were " Gunner and Cane"

In highschool, there was a guy there named "Duncan Hines" he was teased about his baking ability.
Also another guy in highschool was "Condon", but it always came out as Condom, during attendance no matter what.

There was a girl in my high school whose legal name is Mary Rounds. Not too original, huh. That is until she tells you what her middle name is... it's Go.

Knew a Robert Christmas who married a woman named Mary. Okay, she KNEW what she was in for but they named their daughter Merry! When asked they said they wanted a different spelling on the daughter's name so as not to get confused with the mother! They were so deadpan when they said this it sounded as if they didn't know the future torture their daughter would get!
