Funny set of last names (very short)

[MystyGlyttyr]

Just a little silly, but, on one of my obits, there are five grandchildren surviving. Their last names are Brown, Greene, Goldman, Blackman, and Pinkham.

Rainbow Coalition much?

And they say god doesn't have a sense of humor

About the weirdest/funniest last name I ever heared was ButtePhuck. The guy that told me his last name pronounced it Boot fuck. (He was oriental/asian) and he said it with a grin and I knew he was serious so I couldn't bust out laughing. My friend was helping me and he kept looking over at me and I knew if I looked at my friend I would bust up laughing.

Librarians know a lot of odd names.

In Egyptology we have the wonderful combination of authors named Blackmann and Fairman. I think that's a most interesting pairing.

We have Nathalie Baum who wrote about trees in the ancient world.

Finally, we have the Coptic scholar Iacobus Forget. His surname is pronounced "For ZHEY' but the title pages of many of his books give his name as "I. Forget". Could this be the archetypal absent-minded Professor?

I dunno about those kids, but speaking of rainbows and names: when I was in high school there were these two girls who were named Rainbow and Sunshine and they were sisters. I kid you not.

[Jester]

The OP amused me especially, as both my mother and her only sister married a color. In other words, a man whose last name is a color.

[KellyHabersham]

While I was checking in books last night at the library, we got a return from a patron whose last name was "Firecloud".

When some acquaintances of ours got married, we did a double take when we saw that the bride had decided to hyphenate their last names.

Her name is now __________ Large-Hart.

[electrondan]

I don't know if its appropriate but when i worked at a call center I had a travel agent book a guy by the name Tan Wang

[Bandit]

Worst one I ever came across was a fellow with the last name of Yu.

He was from Thailand where PH is normally pronounced as F.

His first name was Phuc.

Now picture having to phone up Phuc Yu near the end of a 100+ hour week in an office full of zombies who were also pushing 100 hours...and all in high school, working for the school board.

That was one call we bumped WAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY up the food chain. We could not do it.

"Hello. This is Bandit calling from XYZ County School Board. Can I please speak to Phuc Yu?" - I could not do it without giggling like a lunatic.

There used to be a probate court judge in my area whose last name (married name) was Dykes.

Her first name was Gay.

Gay Dykes.

[Bradester]

There used to be a probate court judge in my area whose last name (married name) was Dykes.

Her first name was Gay.

Gay Dykes.

Did anyone dare laugh at her in court?

My parents went to high school with a kid named Walter Mellon.

When my brother does mailouts at his work, he's sure to copy the labels of people with funny names. Perfect for the Office Space fan, he's got a Michael Bolton. His absolute favorite: Richard Buttram.

[Boggles]

There is a lady does TV gardening in the UK who is called: Gay Search!
