Amusing surnames lighthearted post

My Dad once had to introduce Mr Dippy to Mr Batty.

When I was maybe 6 or 7, there came to school a new teacher by the name of Miss Winterbotham.

Another teacher told us in advance that we might find her name very funny, but we absolutely mustn't laugh, since it would be extremely rude.

I think we managed to behave ourselves!

I knew a Pearl Frost once, which I thought was rather beautiful.
My mother had a friend called Minnie Orange.
I had a teacher called Miss Onions, but she pronounced it
O'Nions.

In the 1960's/70's the Norwich dustcarts proudly bore the name of their Head of Department - Mr Smellie!

I’ve just had a customer called Mr Paradise, thought that was sweet.

Thanks for the explanation, Pittcity, I don't think that name is too bad or embarrassing, compared with some of the most amusing ones on here.

My friend's surname was Allcock and for a few years lived in a lovely thatched cottage called.....Willy's Well!

We had a teacher at school called Miss Stagg. She married a Mr Wild and was thereafter referred to as Wild Stag.

Henetha, I laughed at the Onions one - I remember my mother telling me about the time when she worked as a clerkess and had to phone a man by that name - well of course, she pronounced it like the vegetable, only to be told in no uncertain terms by the very posh gentleman that it was O'Nions!

We also knew of a lady called Joyce who married a Mr Joyce and another lady called Cherry who married a Mr Pye.

My DD had a class mate called Christopher Smith - Chris for short. Not really subject of teasing until it came to this time of year, when everyone made a point of referring to Chris Smith's Cards, Chris Smith's Day, etc.

I was at school with an Ellen Nutt, whose sister was called Hazel, also a Willie Little, had local solicitors called Welsh & Robb and in the Bank a girl called Penny married a Mr Money.

My mum had s classmate called Alfred hart

When i was at school i had an English teacher called Mr Waterworks and a Geography teacher called Mr Overend plus one of are Gym teachers was called Cliff Richard!???

My DIL’s maiden name is Bytheway. I do try to stop myself saying “By the way...” when talking to her. The midwife who delivered one of my babies was a Sister Kidd.

Knew a teacher named mrs Hiscock and i worked for a man named Ralph Ralph.

Chris Moss

I was horrified to learn that Zoe Ball & Norman Cook named their son Woody - As in Woody Cook? No, he wouldn't!
My neighbours surname was Nutt, his initial was P and her name was Hazel...
Another neighbour has a son named OllieKinns! Do parents overlook the whole name?!!

And the surgeon who performs vasectomies st my local hospital? Mr Waterfall!

One of my granddaughters has a teacher called Miss Fortune. The daughter of a friend married a lad whose surname is Christmas.

Our music teacher at school was Miss Frost. Then shev married a Mr. Glass, and was forever after known as Frosted Glass.

Just seen Dr Ribchester on tv ! Appropriate.

Mention of a 'Chris' just reminded me that when I lived out in a rural area (where we all knew one another) my friend Christine was going out with a Stephen Cross.

If she'd taken his name when they married, in 2000, she would have been Chris Cross - fortunately she kept her own, Barrett.
