Real Unfortunate / Amusing People's Names

U-15 · 01-14-15, 12:52 PM

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

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?

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

Post #10 pointed this out also.
It went over everyone's head because I didn't use a smaller font?

One of my mother's friends is named Candy Cane.

Great when you are 6 months old
Awesome if you are a 22 year old stripper
Not so good when you are in your 70's

I used to work with a guy named Jim Wimp. Surprisingly, when he got married he took his wife's last name.

My 12th grade literature teacher and swim team coach name was Mr Mast the funny thing was he was fairly short.

My high school biology teacher is named Janet Jukoff.
The variations abounded.
