Was watching the news tonight and there was a forensics expert on to talk about the Madeleine McCann case, his name was Dr Manlove.

There's some more good ones here:

I know:

Ilene Dover
Harry Butt
Happy Heart (her married name)

One of my friends named his daughter Rocky Road (after their favorite ice cream)

Some parents should just be shot.

I have a cousin named Teddy Bair her mother's maiden name is Black...yup Karen Black Bair now.

Another extended relative's last name is Money. His first born is Gamblin Money.

Gamblin's wife was pregnant with twin girls. They were to be Robin and Sharon Money. Fortunately the more sensible wife (and threats of prolonged enforced celibacy for hubby) prevailed.

I am Patrick Phillip.

I've often regretted not becoming a urologist. Always thought it would have looked nice on the door.

June Bride - I was working for the census when I came across this one.

Dr. R. Fang - Dentist - I saw a photo of his office window with his name painted on it.

Richard Head

Then there's that dumb joke about the extended family of the Sh!ts (from You don't know Jack Sh!t).

A guy who briefly put in an appearance at our Office was called

Wayne Tribblecock

(He decided he didn't like it there.)

One of our boardroom bosses at work is called David Roots.

He called his daughter Daisy.

Daisy Roots. (That's Cockney rhyming slang for "boots". )

Used to have a client (a lovely guy) named Peter Abbot, who must have been crucified as a child.

And I've known both a nice girl with the surname "Ramsbottom" (or "bottham" p'raps) and a guy named "Lipschitz". Both of those had to hurt, too.

My friend's dad is in graphic design and he once had to design a menu for a guy named Harry D*ck. As if that wasn't bad enough, he wanted to name most of the menu items after himself.
