Well Fungus mentioned Radio 4. I know it isn't a person's name and so is cheating, but I always love the programme called "Crossing Continents" or as I hear it "Cross Incontinents"

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 StabilityLast edited by Contractor UK; 16 February 2022, 15:12.

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.
