Real Unfortunate / Amusing People's Names
 

The imagination and wordsmith skills of the Subsim community are truly admirable.
This set me thinking about a thread for real unfortunate or amusing people's names.
The defining factor here, that they be real names that you have come across.

I will kick off with one unfortunate and one amusing.

This one has been in my memory for yonks:
The 1878 FA Cup Final between Wanderers and Royal Engineers was refereed by - S.R. Bastard

As a postman I once delivered to a chap called Mr F. Aart (Dutch I believe).

So over to you maestros :o

Found this fellow in some movie credits...
 

Ben Dover. I think he has a brother named Richard.

True this: I worked in an office in the days when everything about the clients was still all on paper in cardboard folders. One day a pal came in barely able to speak; he chucked the folder he was carrying onto my desk. It belonged to a Mr Helmut Wankmuller...

I still can't get past Ahmed Aboutaleb!
Where the hell is he going?
:har:

My brother-in-law went to school with Wayne Kerr...

A supermarket assistant I came across was called:

Lee King.

And no she wasn't Eichhornchen, before you ask :stare:

It was most ceratinly a sad occasion for many. Names were fake yet to everyones amazement reporters, nation wide, as usual having no interest or real knowledge of what it was they were reporting on just rolled with it.

Go ahead call me a bad person but I laughed my butt off when I saw it.

If I called you a bad person over this, then I would be calling myself a bad person.
:k_rofl:

This, unfortunately isn't a real name: an Irish heart surgeon named Angie O'Plasty

Original post asked for REAL names you came across.
And how do We know some Chinese family didn't freak over those names?
:har:

And her sister Patty O'Doors

I knew a bloke down the pub named Egbert. None of us knew his full name and he had a sister. She liked me! We called her "Egbert's sister".

I have a relative by marriage who is C. Lyons

and

a regular in one of my drinking haunts in the 80s was a Cliff Edge.
True, there is no point in making 'em up !! :stare:

As Eichhornchen points out in his post, some parents don't think about the consequences of giving names to their kids.

Johnny Cash and "A Boy Named Sue"
Good sung with a real meaning to it

I had a Staff Sergeant in the Army named Larry Creek. His wife's name was Sandy.:O:

I know a guy named Donny Stonerock.
I asked him if his Dad and Mom's name was Fred and Wilma.
He got real pissed!
