That's not a real name!

Sennacot runnypoo

You've made that up.

[boom-chika-waa-waa]

I know it's not in the same vein but at the school I work at there's a child called Morpheus. I can't hear his name without wondering why his parents did that to him. I don't care how much they like the matrix, I bet little Morpheus will grow up to hate it.

[Luna]

Honestly not! I thought it was completely made up too when I saw it. Apparently they use pharmaceutical names and completely random things when they name their kids

My favourite last year was a german girl called Titziana von Witzleben. I took every opportunity to try and use her name.

[Froozy]

Fanny Pong worked at one of the Asian offices of a company I used to work for.

My OH used to work with some US collegaues who stayed over here for a while. Lydia Brown married Mr Trout and became Lydia Brown Trout which always tickled me. Not rude, just funny.

[Hazey_Jane]

I have a colleague called Charlotte Crucifix. Absolutely lovely girl but the poor thing has had people she doesn't even know call her up and ask if her parents were in a cult or something.

And I also work with Bert Adolf.

[Chicky]

I had an email from someone called Dabottam Ghosh today

Tickled.... that did make me lol... tickled trout.

Anyhoo, when I was up for a weekend with Daisy, we saw a coach with the name of the company emblazoned ALL over it,

HUGH WILLY COACHES

[Hazey_Jane]

I can't believe I forgot this one. I used to know a German guy whose parents sent him to a Yorkshire boarding school, completely unaware of how much he would get the piss taken out of him in England. His name is Richard Wanke aka Dicky Wank.

[Moody Blue]

Excellent, Haze

I came across a Rocky Robinson last week and work with a Dr Wang which never fails to make me snigger :child:

In the same vein I was at college with a Fer Koch.

[wannabewelshie]

I think the German pronunciation of Wanke might actually be Wanker too!

Wing Man is one of my favourites. Not rude, just really amusing.

A couple of years ago, someone bought me a book called Potty, Fartwell and Knob, which is a collection of rude and amusing names from census records and it's absolutely hilarious. I have it in my guest bathroom and people always come out of the loo and comment on it.

It might be an urban myth but I heard a tale of a woman in London who reported a colleague for racist language. Turned out the colleague was Irish and had a brother called Packie (common shortened version of Patrick in Ireland)

Like Packie Bonner

A fine Donegal man, and national hero

[Donna Quixote]

I've got loads of these. I work in a language school so some of the foreign names provide much hilarity.. mostly from the Thai students. Off the top of my head we have had a

Silke Fuchs
Tittiporn
Ophelia Kok
Sennacot runnypoo
Ding Ding

A friend of mine had a client called Bashdin, which isn't anywhere near as good as these but really tickled me.

Oh dear! I'm wiping the tears away ...

My dear deceased grandparents had friends whose surname was "Head". They named their son Richard ... (aka "Dick").

I used to work for a firm of Greek shipowners, where I regularly encountered a charming salesman called Rob Banks.

Patrick has all sorts of variations in Ireland. We drink with a "Porkie" (short for Padraig - prounounced "paw-drig") in our local. R's uncle was known as "Parky".

[Jet]

I'm sure I've said this one on here before....

Roger Boyes

You would change your name, wouldn't you?
