My son's very awesome school teacher's middle name is Hilarius. I actually don't think that's either silly nor stupid, but I had to post it somewhere.

I work with someone called Dikshit, and have been for months now but it still cracks me up.

awks.

It's obviously a name from a different language, and not pronounced the way UK football fans will probably pronounce it, but I enjoy the prospect of Chelsea having a keeper called Kepa.

My favourite football match ever, which I didn't even see, was when Mainz played Hamburg, and the goalkeepers were Wache (Mainz) and Hamburg's Wächter (both names mean 'guard' or 'sentinel' in German).

Is there an aptronym thread ?

No, I've been misusing this one instead. :)

There really could hardly be a more apt name for the Secretary of State for housing, communities and local government than the current incumbent's.

My Colleague here in Amsterdam is from v v North Holland and has the surname Modder.

There is one other family in his town called Modder and there is a lady with the name Fokje

Fokje Modder. Amazing

Had to go to UCH today (all fine, you'll be glad to hear) and one of the consultants on duty was Dr Killingly.

I’m working with Akira Hypolite, which I think is a pretty cool name, but I have to resist the urge to scream ‘AAAAAAKKKKIIIIIIIIIRRAAAAA!!!!!!’ every time I ask her something. I’m sure she’s heard it all before, even though she’s probably younger than the film.

A doctor friend of mine swears blind that there is a surgeon and anaesthetist who work together in London hospitals called Dr De'Ath and Dr Coffin.

If you check the Linked In page of Randy Bumgardener you will see the list of "People also viewed"

Always good for a giggle on a slow work day.

I once saw a dermatologist called Dr Creamer.

More appropriate than silly

Gerry Queen used to play for a South London side. He once came off the subs bench to score the winner and provoke the headline in the Evening News:

"Queen Nips In to Save Palace"

Speaking of King's, a long time ago there was an office staffed by two people with the surnames Savage and Wilde.

^^^ I think I might have mentioned Mercedes in here before; years ago I answered the phone to her when she wanted to book a cycle training session.

Objection - Mercedes-Benz is a first name and surname in the first place, albeit from two different people, Mercedes Jellinek and Karl Benz.

overruled. you could pretty much say that about any name in here - i am sure there is another chez and someone with the last name jay in the world

Make Up Department

Well that name sure sounds made up alright.

But it's made funny because it's a car.

No, you're a car!
