I received some work emails today which contain a number of customer names etc and I couldnt help but childishly giggle.

Seriously though, what must be going through these parents heads when they name their poor kids:

Dick E Poenisch
Matthew P Knutt

Join in chaps - what other genuine (but amusing/rude/just wrong) names have you seen inflicted on poor innocent humans.

In a mind numbingly dull temp job I once came across a name "Fuk Yu". Which is way more to the point than any of these other boring word plays.

Back in my courier days I had to deliver a parcel to a Miss Hore. I repeated the name to the recpitionist about ten times, but she said she didn't know her. I the end I showed her the parcel.

'Oh, you mean Miss Horrie' she pronounced. Looked like Miss Hore to me??
