Years ago, whilst slaving away for minimum crust an hour in a job working with the public, I decided to write some of them down on a scrap of paper which I found whilst cleaning the other day.

Some arn't too bad, and my apologies if your names on the list ;)

Mrs Bottomly
Mr Deadman
Mrs Badcock
Mr Stonecock
Mr Pervey
Mr Pratt
Mr Shagnot
And a guy whose initials and surname were 'BJ Messum'

Im sure there are worse names

Used to senn one support (young male) desk into near hysterics, the fact that she also sounded very young, 'nice' did not help

I had a primary school teacher called Mrs Whore, I guess she could only teach primary school kids as in general they didn't get the joke.

Later when I was in the Navy there was a WREN clerk called Kim Whore and on her name badge on her desk it said "WRN Whore" it always caused a comotion when her big fat ogre of a boss threw people out the pay office for comments such as "is that your name or your branch love?"

Used to work with a bloke called Michael Hunt... he insisted on being called Mike for some reason.

The Leicester phone book a few years ago also had a tradesman in showing his full name as Issac Hunt

According to the Global Address List of my current client, they have the following employees / associates:

Ralph Wanke
Alexandra Wankum
Firhart Arshad (only really funny to FARK readers )
Eva Fartelova
Jacky Pee
Damien Wee
Katarina Feckova

(I did not make any of those up - I swear)

Edit: Although I acknowledge that it is possible, given that it is such a large organisation, that some wag might have added a few bogus names. After all I did find a Winnie Pooh in the address list as well.
