It's a lazy topic, but what the hell, it's a Friday. Today's spectacular name is from a paper I was editing on (of all things) rashes from sweaty clothes. One of the authors was the delightfully named MC Pant.

This comes just days after another paper by Dr Dogbag.

Anyone else come across any corkers recently?

[Rubidium Joinee Tigger]

Dr Dogbag? Brilliant! I occasionally come across names while looking for stuff online but my attention span is rarely more than about 30 seconds of amusement...if I recall any, I'll let you know...

[Gold Bismuth Shortt]

I formatted the CV of a girl called Anal Merchant today

That was her honest to gosh name!

[Joinee Rufous]

Checked out Blackburn's strikers this season? MotD is a guaranteed hoot...

[joinee_doug]

From last summer: clinky

[Joinee Snowberry]

Ha ha!

When I brought my house, the previous owener introduced himself as Phil Quick. When I got all the paperwork through, I found out that he was actually Ivan Philip (I.P.)Quick (I never asked him if he did!)

[Platinum Joinee West]

In various jobs I've come across the following names:

Ronald McDonald
Kok Fuk

And a small boy whose surname I forget, but his first and middle names were Ross Joey Chandler.


Oh and once in the local papers "vote for my kid for some reason" competition there was a boy called Se7en.

[SJ Del (The Train Man)]

My favourite I've dealt with was a customer called I.M. Amess.
But I did go to school with Annette Kirton. No-one believes me but honestly, it is true.

Also, around 40% of the girls at my school came from hong kong and had chosen their own western names. Enid Blyton type books were what they had in mind when they thought of England, so I am guessing I know more girls my age named Fanny than is reasonable... :/ (4 in total)

I love Hong Kong's fondness for creating their own Western name! When I took Northern Sinfonia to the festival there we dealt with Elvis King

My friend's boyfriend was called Wayne King. True. Noone ever believes me either Gaz

[Lethal Biddle]

I've worked with a Michael Jackson. Also encountered a number of Coch's & Gay's & the infamous Richard Head.

[Joinee Simitebrong]

We have a regular customer called Mr Revenge. No idea what his first name is as he's never used it. He just calls up and says, in a clipped baritone "Hullo, is that Simon? It's Mr Revenge here"

[joinee_doug]

I'm smelling lawsuit here...

[Poohbah (Gsq)]

I like names which I automatically give slogans to. Like Mr Drinkwater ("And he does!"). Or Mr Hands ("He's got 'em!").

Of course I've never met Mr Hands, I just see his name often at work, so he might not actually have any hands. Which would be sad. And I'd have to revisit my catchphrase. Sometimes I find I've muttered "He's got 'em!" out loud when I casually spot his name on the spreadsheet.

I really am simple.

According to Wikipedia, "Wayne King (February 16, 1901 – July 16, 1985) was an American musician, songwriter, singer and orchestral leader. He was sometimes referred to as "the Waltz King" because much of his most popular music involved waltzes". I've seen some of his records in thrift shops. One of them is called, appropriately, "All Alone".

[HRH Gold Joinee Sheli]

I taught Megan Fox last year

Will have to point Craig in the direction of this thread, he'll have some good ones!

[spannz15]

I have a mate called Will Smith. and he looks a bit like Will Smith as well.

[Worm]

I went to school with Michael Hunt.

[Hebba Homemaker]

when working in an outbound call centre we had to call a Mr W. Anchors, after getting up the courage to ask for him I got more flustered when asked which one I was looking for as there were two!

[PJ Stevie G]

Having your boss shout through the office "Has anybody seen Mike Hunt?" is always good fun.

And then there was the case of Dr. Bastard...

[Gaz]

There's a fairly well known (in the field) biochemist called Hans de Kock. I'd hate to think of the slogan attached to his name!

[Chez]

I previously worked with young Mr Bate.


Please make your own smutty jokes you filth mongers.





ad I went to school with Elvis Presley Smith, who was from a traveler family.

[Chez]

That was Ben not me, the lazy shite bag.

I read that as "who was a time traveller".

The actual sentence, having re-read it correctly this time, is therefore massively disappointing in comparison.



We must not forget our hernaic Joinee friend here, Tom Jones. And his brother Dave(y) Jones.

[spannz15]

im forgetting my own father. Dick Hunt seriously.

[Joinee Michelle]

I knew a Warren Peace at university.

[SJ Del (The Train Man)]

East Midlands Trains have a train driver called Dick Whittington.
And I have heard a despatcher shout over the radio 'I need Dick NOW!'

[Joinee Hollis]

Spoke to a Mike Cox on the phone today.

[RJ Cooley]

Mike and I used to work with an Indiana Jones.

She was a girlie.

[Keen Joinee (GTJ)]

I used to work with a 'Justin England' - everyone called him Berwick Upon Tweed.

[spannz15]

Got put on a different department at work last night as they are short staffed, there was a lovely little old lady called Milf. How awesome is that?

[joinee wolfman]

we had a tom jones at school. i also knew a girl called jolene who had been named after the dolly parton song.

[Lethal Biddle]

We have our very own Joinee Tom Jones! I forgot about Tom!

*applause*

[Gold Bismuth Shortt]

I just found a girl called "Phillipa Hole"

*snort*

[Platinum Joinee West]

Well my husband is called John West. Always gets a giggle. And sometimes a look as if to say "you could have made up a better name when making up your husband..."

[Gaz]

I did a paper yesterday by the splendidly named Dr Negro, who (if he isn't) really should be an LA-based rapper on the side.

[Lethal Biddle]

Fry & Laurie - We've Had Lots of Letters

[Platinum Joinee Wilf (GD)]

The Filipino crew members on our ships have some excellent names - the best of which was the frankly splendiferous Ben-Hur Bacon Miranda.

[Gaz]

The Ben-Hur Bacon Miranda really needs to be a cocktail. Or indeed a cockatiel, which that originally got autocorrected to.

[Silver Joinee Rachel]

I know a girl who is training to be a doctor. Her surname is Death.

She will soon be DOCTOR DEATH!!

[joinee cutler]

A little while ago I came across a Mr&Mrs Shufflebothem, I giggled to myself.

I also know a girl called Samantha L Jackson. (L being Laura, but it sounds way cooler if you just put L)

[joinee wolfman]

our database at work holds personal details for hundreds of thousands of people and we pass slow days by searching for r. sole or similar. a few amusing ones have been found. do people not think before they name their children?

I once had my car serviced by Sunny Liston. This was years after he suffered a controversial death in Vegas and changed the spelling of his name.
