[mollyandkurtsmum]

Just a bit of a funny one I went to school with a boy named Peter Rabbit who I just found out has just brought our local pet store (strange coincidence or fate lol) . My cousin also races V8 supercars and used to race with a guy called Luca Duca and another called Dougall Mc Dougall. My nan had a friend called Nancy Nancurvis so she was Nan Nancurvis or Nanna Nan Nan to her grandchildren. Has anyone alse found any weird names on their travels Im sure I can remember a few more if I put my mind to it

[wattle]

A friend of mine went to school with a guy called Dwain Pipe....... now really, what sort of nasty parents would do that to their child? :rolleyes:

It's pretty funny though. I wonder if he is a plumber :D

[veve]

there is a child at school with the name Wayne King (if you say it fast you will understand the issue) - his classmates do chant it at him cheekily,.... but he is a tough kid (luckily) and gives as much as he gets...

how could his mum not think of it??

[ThomasMum]

Similar like veve’s, an old friend of mine is Wayne Kerr…and boy he is a real w…r eg. He collects expensive cars like Jag, Mustangs…

Hi,

[ThomasMum]

Here's another one: a great person we know: Tony Anthony and we call him Tony Two Time :D

DH just told me there used to be two dentists in a practice on Beaudesert Rd, Moorooka called Dr. Tooth and Dr. Payne. I'll bet that was a booming practice.

[Elfin]

When I lived in Canberra, there was a Dr Kneebone and I think there was a gyno called Dr what for it ..... **** :eek:

[Nickster]

Here I go again...DH just told me there was a guy who was an apprentice with him in the army, and his surname was Apenis. Of course, he swore it was pronounced App-ennis. Funnily enough, DH can't remember his first name.....

[Nickster]

And again.....my boss knew a lovely man with a surname of Taylor who married a lovely lady with the christian name of Jenny. Jenny Taylor. :eek: She likes to refer to herself as Jennifer these days of course.

[ThomasMum]

Cheers

[Rockett]

[SamanthaJane]

I went to school with a girl called Rosy Rose... she told us that her parents were "dared" to name their child Rosy if they had a baby girl... and sure enough they had a baby girl... I never heard anyone be cruel to her about it, but people would kinda giggle when her name was called out in roll call... She didnt seem to mind too much :)

[csackett]

I went to school with an African boy called Penias Lungus... ;)

[Peaceangels]

My mother works for St George bank and these are actual names that people have on their bank accounts :
- Merry Christmas (not even Mary!)
- Elvis Presley
- Jesus Christ
What the! :rolleyes: I mean really, if you had these surnames, why on earth would you do this to your child who will endure a lifetime of ridicule.

[jamb]

This thread is SO funny! I also came across a Jesus Christ when I was working and kid you not his birthday was 25th December- he was a security guard

But can someone explain the Jenny Taylor to me (i hope i am not totally embarrassing myself asking this :o )

Can you believe Jesus is a security guard!! How cool?!
As for Jenny Taylor: Try spelling it Geni.....does that help?
O's mom.

[petster]

A friend of mine had a teacher called Theresa Green... Would've been much funnier if she was in the horticultural industry :p ...

I once dealt with a patient at work whose name was Lorraine Lakeesha (?sp?) - at work we use surnames first followed by first names, so this person was - wait for it - La Quicha Lorraine!! :D

Cheers!

[Nickster]

And how could I forget.....before I had DD, I spent 2 years working with a Vietnamese guy named PHUC NGO !!! :eek:

[Miaow]

I used to work at a place that had an employee Richard Head - as you can imagine he didnt like to be called ****...

One of my doctors was called Dr Croaker - i always thought that was a interesting name for a doctor LOL and a friend once had a dentist called Dr Lipshut

[Supermum]

This thread is hilarious! - here's a couple of my faves:

I used to work with a guy whose name was Ron Rumble - he was an acoustical engineer.

I worked at a hospital and we had a Dr Slaughter, Dr Graves and Dr Death (dee ath). Dr **** also worked there and he was a gyno.

.. and I went to school with Ronald McDonald.

That HAS to be the same DR!!! (I had a DR Slaughter in my post...it HAS to be the same guy!!!

[petster]

I think I'm familiar with a Dr Death and Dr Slaughter too - Brisbane based - in the Oncology field I think????

Cheers!

[veve]

I think Dr Slaughter is at the Royal Childrens Hospital - he works with a LOT of special ed children... I assumed he was a pediatrician??

I logged on this morning to add his name to the thread - only to find out that he had been mentioned several times!!!! buggar :D

xxxxxx

[drewid]

Yep, Dr Slaughter was our paediatrican too!

[nanny87]

I went to school with a guy called Christian Christopher Christiansen

[madvoice]

There was a man in the Navy who's name was E. F. Gee. He was an Able Seaman Clearance Diver. So you get ABCD E.F.Gee he was very glad to receive his promotion.

My mother used to go to a dentist called Dr. Cutmore. There is a Dr. Goodhand here in Darwin (I can't think of what he does).

My previous surname was Eriksson and I worked in communications. Figure that one out :D

[Briannabear]

Thats funny! :D

[littlepickle]

The salesman I bought my first car off was a mr death - which was a bit off-putting at the time
My dad's dentist is called dr smillie which I thought was pretty cool

I would definitely be a bit put off if I had to see a doctor called dr death - and if I was that doctor, I would seriously consider deed poll!!

[Rockett]

DH was watching car racing on tv today,and one of the drivers names was Will Power!!! Funny...I need some of that myself ;)

[Sharlee]

At our old IVF clinic there was a doctor named Dr Seamen. :o

DH also knew of a bloke called Wayne Kerr. Poor DH, it took him years to figure out why I laughed every time he said that name.

I think those types of people change their names on purpose when they are adults..... or so I'd like to think! :eek:

[razzle]

I used to work with a Wayne Kim - his nickname was Far...

Far Kim... geddit? :rolleyes:

We also used to hold sales seminars where names were pulled out of hats for door prizes. Just to embarass the presenter we'd write names like Phil McCracken, Craven Moorhead, **** Hertz, Maxi Padd.... we'd be pretty bored after 3 days of sales seminars.... :rolleyes:

[Rainbowbrite]

Hubby has a mate named Steve Watt who's an electrition :p

[eslay2005]

This is just too funny :p I had a good laugh reading all the weird names.
I know of someone called David David (and I thought this was very strange), why would anyone call their child the same name as their surname?

How cruel can parents be? We are in the process of picking a name for our baby and I always keep in mind not to have a name that can be teased at school.

[Funkychicken]

I had a teacher at school whose sister named their daughter Robyn. Their surname is Banks! Also my great-great grandmother was Rose Woodward and married into the Bush family, becoming Rose Bush. The whole family still laughs about that.

[oscarsmilkbar]

Enjoying a few giggles reading this thread!

I used to have these clients on our database at work:

Jason Jesus Power SunGod,
Yu Fuk Dik

lol...the first was definitely a deed poll result, the latter was an asian client.

I have also served a customer over 10 years ago called Kimberley Wimberly...

[cleighsa]

i new of a Carol Carol and a Michelle Miechelle.

[Ineedsleep]

there's a guy in my home town. Michael Hunt. Now that's just stupid!!!

Another guy i worked with was Isaac Body and her last name was Every so when she got married she hyphernated of course - Mr Body and Mrs Every Body. He told me thinking I would find it funny i think - i did try to smile to be polite.

Oh and two dr's in Adelaide - David Davidson and Erik Eriksson.

[Lambie]

Hi,

There is an obsterician in Brisbane called Dr Love...apparently, not bad looking either!! ;)

And my husband's parents where so close to calling him Sean (note, our surname is Lamb)...Sean Lamb :D

Sonia :)

[melfunction]

There's a Dr Killer in Brisbane.

We had a patient from Vietnam wanting a specific order. Her name was Min.

When my colleague wrote a note, she started it off as follows; Hi Min :o

I hadn't laughed so hard in ages....

[redbaby]

Too funny..

I worked with a guy who's father changed his name to 'Speedstripe'

A friend of mine wants to call her son 'Ned' and her surname is Kenny!

And I know a Thai chap called Phaic Tan,.. Fake tan!!!

I really like the drag queens names though,...Maxi Shield, Miranda Fair (if you are not from Syd, that is the name of a shopping mall), etc,.....

[mollyandkurtsmum]

drag queens are very creative with their names gone are the days of candy canes and sugar muffins now we have the Dee Flowers and the Jenny Taylors ........very cute

[Mala]

Hi Girls,
I'm loving this thread!

I know of a family who called their daughter Genna Taylor. Wasn't til they were wetting the baby's head, that one bloke had a few too many - and pointed it out to the father... He had no idea. :confused:

In Adelaide, there is a gyno... Dr Broom. :eek: :eek:
Another local Dr, Dr Dearlove - but if she'd changed her name when she married, she'd now be Dr Nutt. :D - She went for the lesser of two evils!!
Bit wrong really.

[justtwogirls22]

a friends uncle is a gyno on the coast & his name is Dr ****! even worse is they called their daughter ophelia :D

[xkwzit]

You just CAN'T do that. You'd think ppl with tricky dicky surnames would be super careful about that kind of thing. However... I've heard of a family with the surname Ness and they called their two boys Andrew and Peter. Now think about initials: A Ness and P Ness (you'd think after one son, you wouldn't make the same mistake AGAIN :eek: )

Cheers

[justtwogirls22]

i know it's wrong isn't it

friends of my sister-in-law their last name was roots - they had 2 girls & changed their last name to richardson so the girls wouldn't have to be teased forever

[Worm'sMum]

Poor Children!

I once knew of a lady called Robyn who married a guy with the last name of Robins!

Also friends were going to call their baby Tyton if it was a boy - their last name is Young!!! Thank goodness they had a girl!! :)

[LachlansMun]

:eek: Omigod Stacey :eek:

I just happened to give my son lachlan the middle name Kyal (also pronounce Kyle) and didn't realise it could stand for Kick Your **** Later

[LachlansMun]

My name is actually Crystal (gem) Jade (gem) Bowman, thank god I havn't married a Mr Diamond or something..........

:confused:

[mixi_mama]

Well when i was back in new zealand i went to primary school with a boy names Jefferson-Peterson Washington....... :confused: that poor kid we were always like "man what were you parents thinking!!" -

And for those who live in Brisbane and are familiar with the Acacia Ridge area will know this one - the car-yard on beaudesert road "Mike Hunt's Used Cars"......
Now say that one really fast :confused: Imagine growing up with that
