Amusing surnames lighthearted post

Many years ago I was in a queue in a shop and the man in front had the surname De'ath.

A boy in my class at school was Reginald Tiplady.

My surname before marriage was Blizard and I worked in an office with Wendy Frost! My two cousins, surname Jones, both married Joan...Joan Jones!

Our music teacher at school was Miss Trumper.
My doctor was Dr Payne (he was very nice actually).
Where I worked we had a customer called Miss Lillycrap.
A boy at my children’s school was Luke Walker (what’s wrong with that I hear you say! Well his middle name was Sky)

Thomas67 - the OP has already apologised in advance. I'm afraid you can't stop people being amused by something, although I can understand your feelings if you have had problems with your name.

My neighbours changed their name by Deed Poll from Alcock to Ainsley and I had to have it explained to me.

Our hospital's urologist was Dr Dick

When I worked at an RAF camp, the officer in charge of the Medical Centre was a Squadron Leader Bone.

What a wonderful thread!

I have had such a laugh reading them.

Wouldn’t it be funny if someone recognised their maiden name from some of these school days ones and came on here to say “that was me “ !

There was a poor lad called Russell Sprout at my school and my dad once had a colleague called Mr Sorearse, I kid you not. He used to pronounce it Sorryarsay ...

I have an unfortunate last name. Sometimes I feel like being rude to people who think they are being funny making comments about it. I just give them a look and hope they apologise.
My children suffered comments from teachers , medical staff and anyone who they had to give their name to.
Stop before you make your so called funny comments , you are being unkind not funny.
My children have changed their name.

A lot of foreign people think they have perfectly good names not realising how amusing or rude they are to us Brits.

I worked for the NHS and we had a doctor called Dr Killman.

Another was Mr Chackravarty and he changed it to Mr Chackrabarty because his children were being teased at school.

My daughter heard of a Mr Abdo Fahrty.

Many years ago I worked for an NHS department and we listed the best names as we came across them. I have about 50 or more, and I kid you not, they are real names!

I could go on............

I worked with a Theresa Green once, quite common I think.
Our school honours board included Vera Willey and Ina Buckett.

Many years ago, I knew a guy by the name of 'William Williams' - unusual, but NOT uncommon.

One day, however, he came into the office where I worked to complete a form.

Where it asked for 'First Name' - he put 'William Williams'.
Where it asked for 'Surname' - he put 'Williams' ....................... among my work colleagues, he was then forever known as 'Triple Willie' !

The estates manager where we used to live was a Mr Twelvetrees.

When i was in the WRAF on one base we had a Dr Bloodworth, Padre Vicars and Cpl Sargeant

Our local dairy farmer was a Mr. curd.

There was a teacher at my son's school called Mr.P.Nutt.
This was true, but I didn't believe it when I was told that his wife was called Hazel.
Until recently my physio was called David Essex.

There was a boy in our village called Phillip Titt

When I was at school, our music teacher's name was Miss Varty. Needless to say, you can guess what we called her!

I was in junior school with a family named Nutter and was taught in high school by a Dr Love.

I've come across an Arthur Nutter Smith who insisted on signing his cheques as A Nutter and a Robin Bastard, now surely that one could have been avoided with a little forethought!

I went to school with a girl called Barbara Watts-Liquorice it was a source of much amusement especially on the bus, I always felt sorry for her. I’d of dropped the Liquorice if it were me.
