There's a chap at a client in the US called Dick Monster, though the address system puts the surname first. LOL
Also came across these in the past: Ronald McDonald, Victoria Cross, Jo King, and a Mr Wankhede from an offshore company.

There was a Herman Hamburger (yes, he was German) where I worked in the 80's. The juvenile in me always sniggered when he was paged over the tannoy.

When checking the architectural "health" of some real estate in Ayia Napa, Cyprus, I worked with someone whose last name was "Mavromoustachios", which means "black moustache" in Greek. And of course, she was the most petite, child-looking, cutest, shorter than 160cm young woman on the island. I tried to avoid the topic, but she joked on that herself; I guess she's used to it...Last edited by Hokum50; 20 August 2019, 06:08.

It was on the US* telephone list of Siliconix.
