Amusing surnames lighthearted post

Wow thanks netmums can`t stop laughing.
I knew an Adrian Pratt.a Richard Head and a Mrs Truelove.

Note to self: do not read GN whilst on a global call thanks for the giggles all xx

I've just remembered Dr De'Ath which was obviously pronounced 'Dee-Ath' but as children we called him Dr Death -but not to his face.

My old maths teacher was Mr Measures.
Many years ago I had customers called Donald Duckling and Ben Hurr! I kid you not! What were their parents thinking of?

One of my local councillors is called Bob Sleigh. I don't thimk he is embarrassed by his name as he has only just stepped down as Leader of the Council.

A solicitor who worked for my uncle was called Crook.

When I worked for BA back in the ‘70’s the planning manager was a Mr Muddle

My ex. worked with a fellow teacher called Wayne Kerr. I think we all know what the kids called him.

At a place where I once worked in the 'infernal' directory was listed a Mr Careless, Miss Hasty and Mrs Quick - not all in the same department.
As children, we used to laugh at Mr Musty and Mr Mouldy.
I'd hate a surname like Daft.

My mum had a friend called Elsie May Stripp

I'm sorry too Thomas . It can't have been funny for your DC.
My son, if any consolation, wanted me to change his first name when he started school because it was a little unusual. I didn't and he is happy with it as an adult.

So many people with job appropriate surnames, it must be more than coincidence.

My maiden name is Menzies and I got used to it being mispronounced on a regular basis, one of the ones I thought was quite nice when I got a letter addressed to Miss Merryeyes! Thought things would improve when I married and became a Holden, until at a crowded GP surgery appointments room I heard the receptionist shouting for Mrs Holdem!

My husband previous dentist was called mr Payne..

Of course there’s always Eileen Dover, but I never met her!

We had a dentist at our practice called Mr. Chu!

These are so funny! I had to say Theresa Green out loud before it clicked though!
Mine is tame in comparison, but one of my best friends at school was called Annette Kertain.

When I was a child we had a couple of dentists called Dr Press and Dr Pulley. However some of the funniest name combinations are nothing to do with thoughtless parents but with marriage. My dad worked with a lady called Ruth who married a Mr Leserge (and never realised how hilarious her name became until he said it out loud and my mum and I fell about laughing). And I have told my niece Emma that she is NOT to marry a man called Royds!

I was teased, Singlegrannie.

I think it made me a bit more feisty and confident.

It's my first name that was unusual

All 3 of my children also have unusual names.

They've done OK

Several months ago at eldest daughter's house where she had her sisters children (my grand-children) the children were bored and wanted to play a game about funny names.
We came up with many that had the children in fits of laughter, one they really liked was Mr Farquiharse which they were repeating as Mr. Far keyarse and they belly laughed for ages. So sorry to any foreign people but sometimes these names can make us laugh so much, I knew the name from a man that used to come into our coffee shop.

Nothing funny about it when you are a child being teased. As an adult, the comments become boring, everyone thinking their joke is so original !!

Worst surname I’ve ever heard is Duff-dick! Sorry but it’s true!!

shysal we had a family friend who was a dentist called Savage and I went to school with a girl called Jennifer Daft !

I’ve taught a Theresa Green and a Marina Barnacle.

Three ladies known as Mesdames Hassle, Bottom and Mallett ran a local choir for primary aged children, who used to proclaim that they’d better not give any hassle for fear of being hit on the bottom with a mallett!!

I have been treated by a Dr D'Athe and mum told me she went to school with Teresa Green

One of my friends used to be married to a man called King her husband’s name was Joe! Brother had it worse his name was Wayne!
A colleague’s daughter went to school with Justin Thyme and my DH had a headmaster called Mr Badcock! You can only imagine how much he was teased in an all boys school!
My personal favourite was a lady who I met at work called Iona who had married a man called Parrett! She laughed about it!

when we visit caterham on the hill cemetery. theres an albert coffin...theres the usual joke.he died of a cough and the coffin carried him off in..(coffin /offin)
