First of all.. Didn't really know wether to put this in banter or here.. but since I nearly started laughing, ill go with this one..
Second of all.. I know too well that having an unusual name aint allways a laughing matter.. Benedikt is a rather uncommon name in Denmark, and the female version Benedikte is a lot more common (have lead to lots of misunderstandings through time)..
anyways.. I work as a mailman, and I find some weird/funny/unlucky names out there..
some of the ones I remember:
First names: Pornpit,
Middle names: Legolas,
Last names: Fokking, Pornø, Shipillis, Horney, Zwisler (nothing naughty, just made me chuckle)
Full Names/initials: Marc Payne (had a welsh middlename, but still close enough to make my day), C.S & S (stood as S & C.S. on the mailbox, but my falcon eyes spotted it!)
oh.. and delivered mail to a lawyer who's licence plates were: JUSTICE
Anyways, thats the ones I can think of now.. I know there are more of em out there, just can't remember them now :sad:
Good ones mate :)
I was a weekend mailman as a study job as well for a few years.
Remember Hørm and Fogger but there was loads of others. Something with maaes (basically mås, meaning butt) and mugg (meaning mould), but not sure abt spelling anymore.
Well we have a dutch name dick, and a last name de cock
imagine if you combine the two, id say your screwed :P
A m8 of mine deliverd post aswell. During the job he got bitten by a dog.
Cliche!
Also a classm8s name was Rob de Koe. Rob the Cow.
Everytime his name was mentioned someone made a moo-ing sound.
It was only fun for the first few weeks but still...
There used to be a female Police Inspector in Bath called Adora Dick.
She had a brother called Ivor.
I went to school with a girl called Varina, needless to say she has changed it now, but weirdly I can't seem to recall her new name:eyebrow:
My wife went to school with a girl caled Nora Dicke. Swear to God - straight up.
I also went to School with the Ness Twins - Alistair and Peter. Problem is that a boarding school they call people by first initial and surname so the register was always A.Ness and P.Ness .

I love the internet. Everything is automated so no human checking. I regularly order catalogues for my wife in the name of Mrs B Igass and Mrs F Atbutt. She never finds it funny.
Which reminds me I need to get some care home brochures for her :)
I used to work in a payroll department and when checking the wages for one of the couriers I noticed the next of kin on file was the mother.
Named : Fanny Onions
:roflmao:
I never plucked up the courage to ask whether it was a wind up!
hmmmm "Is your mother really called Fanny Onions?"
I have always said if I have son I will name him Adam, my surname is Hall :woot2:

Captain The Honourable Naismith of Posso The Younger

Quote from: Eternaluk;222694Try living with Taliesin Pip Larmour-Jones....
Taliesin, as in shining brow, in Welsh. Pip, don't ask, I think it was something to do with an apple incident. Larmour, I think it's French, or Irish. And Jones, a typical Welsh surname.
Actually your name is pretty cool (ok just googled/192'd myself and im safe from any potential stalkers) my full name seems as were counting surnames is Sebastian Tobias Truswell
Borther is Krystian Lance Truswell, there is a younger sister as well but we dont like to talk about her :D
parents where mad i found out my middle name was because my mum had a thing for Oliver Tobias (some actor) My bro's name was spelt the greek way (i think memory and google skills not up to much) but Some times i wish I had my brothers name (not the spelling though)
And continuing the names reference, a link back to an old one on these forums, but still a good one:
Quote from: Dingo;6167For some time many of us have
wondered just who is Jack Schitt? We
find ourselves at a loss when someone
says, "You don't know Jack Schitt!" Well, thanks to my genealogy efforts,
you can now respond in an intellectual way.
Jack Schitt is the only son of Awe Schitt. Awe Schitt, the fertilizer magnate, married O. Schitt, the owner of Needeep N. Schitt, Inc. They had one son, Jack.
In turn, Jack Schitt married Noe Schitt.
The deeply religious couple produced six children: Holie Schitt, Giva Schitt,
Fulla Schitt, Bull Schitt, and the twins
Deap Schitt and Dip Schitt. Against her
parents' objections, Deap Schitt married
Dumb Schitt, a high school dropout.
After being married 15 years, Jack and
Noe Schitt divorced. Noe Schitt later
married Ted Sherlock, and, because her
kids were living with them, she wanted to keep her previous name. She was then
known as Noe Schitt-Sherlock.
Meanwhile, Dip Schitt married Loda Schitt, and they produced a son with a rather nervous disposition named Chicken Schitt. Two of the other six children, Fulla Schitt and Giva Schitt, were inseparable throughout childhood and subsequently married the Happens brothers in a dual ceremony. The wedding announcement in the newspaper
announced the Schitt-Happens nuptials.
The Schitt-Happens children were Dawg,
Byrd, and Hoarse. Bull Schitt, the prodigal son, left home to tour the world. He recently returned from Italy with his new Italian bride, Pisa Schitt.
Now when someone says, "You don't know Jack Schitt," you can correct them.
I was growing up there was a company of Solicitors in my Hometown called Argue & Phibbs
