    Joseph Fart

    R. Soul.

    Dick Burns. Ouch! (That's a real name.)

    Some decades ago a Mr Pine married a Miss Coffin. The offspring hyphenated the names and hence are the Pine-Coffins. (I jest not.) One such person regularly gets stopped at customs, presumably for taking the piss when they show their passport.

    Coventry Poly has a Dr. De'ath. (Pronounced Day-arth, sadly.)

    Someone I know is known by his surname. His first name is Aynul.

    I once knew a Mr. Kuntz. I'm sure that's worth a snigger.

    And a Mike Tall whose most notable feature was that he was short. So we called him Mike Small.

    There must be a Poly Merrick somewhere. (As in polymeric, from chemistry.)

    Fungus.

        If you listen to Radio 4 you will know what at the end of one program they announce that the producer was Jo King. I think there's another R4 bod called Fi Ling. (Fi, as in Fiona.)

        Fungus.

          At GSK there was a Tom Bollock in the US and a Dick Gigante.

          Also there was a girl at our school called Jane Pigg (middle name was rhoda). At Shell there was a David Bowie who refused to pronounce it that way.

          I was also told about a Micheal Stability - Mick Stability

          Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

          I preferred version 1!

            You really have to wonder about some parents.

            Still, not as bad as some celebrity names. Moon Unit Zappa???
