    There was a famous TV moment when in a cricket match, with Michael Holding batting, and a bloke called Willey bowling, the commentator said "The batsman's Holding, the bowler's Willey"

    I had a colleague called Caroline Hole, and when she got married she double-barrelled her name to Caroline Bradley-Hole. None of us could understand why...

    Worst of all was a girl who served in the bar near the school I worked in in Poland. She had an everyday kind of Polish name, but everyone called her by the Polish word for hole... And she seemed to accept the fact, introducing herself as that.

      Before I was abartender, I had a few interesting jobs..one ofthem involved me needing to call up Luke Sissyfag.

      I had no clue that really was his name (he had it legally changed), started laughing and asked if it was some kind of joke..
      I did an order once for a man named Gayman. I often wonder if he made it up, because he apparently was. When I asked him if he wanted internet, he said, "I'll have to ask my partner" and the partner was obviously a guy.

        We had a member of the cabinet called Ladyman, I'm not sure if he's still around...
        A PSA, if I may, as well as another.

          Ah, the Michael Hunt scene from Porky's

          One of the guys my company does business with, is named Richard Small. For some reason, he *wants* to be called Dick... Then there's one of my coworkers from camp. She got quite a bit of crap about her last name...which just happened to be Dick.

            We have a woman who regularly orders items at our store. We've confirmed it with her, and her last name is Douchmin.

            A coworker says she dated a guy who was a "miracle baby" (parents were told they couldn't conceive). They were biology majors, last name was Pool. What did they name their son?

            Gene Pool.

            I went to elementary school with a girl named Heidi Ho.

                A couple from the world of Australian politics:

                Former politician Richard Face. The high school he went to has an academic award named after him. I pity anybody who wins it... you have to be a real nerd to begin with, then you get the Dick Face Award...

                The late former Tasmanian Premier Jim Bacon's widow's name is Honey. Honey Bacon. Sounds like Miss Piggy's pornstar name.



                Keeping with the genitalia theme, I went to school with a girl whose given names were Jenna Talia. Also a Jock Strape (who later changed his first name to John).

                One of my regular customers is named Hardik. It's a perfectly sensible name in India, and it's a great pick-up line elsewhere ("Hello ladies, let me introduce myself. Hardik by name, Hardik by nature.")

                    Just thought of a local name that was in the newspapers a few years back. A couple named their child Atheist Evolution [Whatever]. A true case of where kids, when they reach age 21, should get to rename their parents. You know, believe or not believe whatever you want, but don't use your kids as billboards for your particular beliefs.

                      Especially since Godfrey is a perfectly sensible name for an atheist.

                        I knew a kid in school named Mike Korotch... which everyone just shortened to "MikeCrotch"...

                        Worked with a guy whose first initial M, didn't do so well with his last name, Lester... I'm just glad his middle name didn't begin with an "O"

                        And then there's my uncle, whose name was Don. Last name Keye. Ironically, his personality resembled that of the animal his named sounded like.

                          On the other hand, Atheist Evolution damn cool name for a band, and Whatever could be their first album.

                            Well let's see. I think I knew most of them.

                            I had a teacher Mrs Head who had a brother named Richard Head.

                            Knew two people with the first name phuc which sounded like fook. But one had the last name of Hue.

                            Also knew a Mike Hunt, another kid named Canvas Painter.

                            After checking extensively to make sure it was legit I've I.D. a Harry Palms, Lisa Licks, Ben Dover, and a person with the first name Lemonjello

                            And I remember once David Letterman had a skit that had people sending in copies of their ID's that had names like Ben Dover, Harry Nutz, etc. So people do have those names.

                            Don't know what people were thinking, but they do.

                              Tia Wall - who writes her check like The Wall.

                              Pearl Dick - who is married Richard (Dick) Dick.

                              William Weiner - who drives a tiny red car.

                              Linda Block - who sounds like Lend A Block with a southern accent.
