Just wondering what ironic first name-last name combos you have actually heard before in person. No old wives tales of something gross and obviously made up. Sorry Mr. Harry Bagina, its nothing personal. But real actual names, humorous or just plain ironic, that you have personally met or seen. Names they were given or married into, not changed their name to for notoriety sake. I know there have got to be some good ones out there!
I once met a cute girl from the south (US) named Khaki Brown, and another time an Ally Hall. But the more unbelievable ones were my grandparents friends Ted and Anita Wiener. I think back in their day it wasn’t as obvious. Or people were just more mature than me. And my mom grew up with a Richard Rash (“Dick Rash”).
My dad went to school with a [name]Gay[/name] [name]Barr[/name], I saw the yearbook. I also knew a woman, [name]Roberta[/name] nn [name]Bobbie[/name] who married a man with the last name Bobalot (pronounced bob a lot just like it looks) making her [name]Bobbie[/name] Bobalot.
I had a high school science teacher who went by his first and middle names…[name]Harry[/name] [name]Peter[/name], which to an adult wouldn’t be awful, but WHY you would make the decision to go by that particular combo when you work with middle and high school students is beyond me. (We went to a really small school, so we all knew the teachers first names and such).
[name]Evan[/name] Offutt. Her email includes even and odd because of the closeness.
[name]Robert[/name] [name]Jens[/name] [name]Andersen[/name]. He’s been [name]Andy[/name] [name]Andersen[/name] his whole life to everyone. ([name]Kinda[/name] like naming a daughter [name]Kim[/name] McKim or a son [name]Harry[/name]/[name]Harris[/name] [name]Harrison[/name] or [name]Jeffrey[/name] [name]Jefferson[/name]. Not bad, just sounds redundant. With my uncle, though, it wasn’t given at birth, it just sorta happened!)
I’ve heard of a [name]Theresa[/name] [name]Green[/name], which sounds like “trees are green” and then a lady named [name]Annette[/name] married her partner and became “[name]Annette[/name] Curtain.”
I know mixed black and white twins named [name]Ebony[/name] and [name]Ivory[/name]. Funnily enough, [name]Ebony[/name] hung out with the black kids in school while [name]Ivory[/name] hung out with the white kids.
I also went to school with a girl named [name]Linda[/name] [name]Rae[/name] [name]Gay[/name], and she went by her full name so it sounded like she was [name]Linda[/name] Reggae.
In my high school there was a cookery teacher named Mrs Kitchen who was Miss Cook before she was married. That’s the weirdest one I’ve come across.
I don’t want to use this woman’s actual name, but let’s say…
A woman named named [name]Miranda[/name] married a man named Mr. Mirandes. She actually took his name!
I went to school with a guy named (again not the real name but close) [name]Al[/name] Halson-Halfeld…I still can’t believe they hyphenated that mess!
My husband went to school with a boy named [name]Ian[/name] Custod, which is a fine name… until you are listed by first name and then it reads CostodIan.
I once saw a wedding announcement in the paper announcing the union of Bacon and Hogg.
There’s a [name]Fanny[/name] Butts in my family tree. She lived a couple hundred years ago, though, and I don’t think her name was quite the joke then that it would be today.
My coach was friends with a woman named [name]Gaye[/name] which almost 60 years ago was an okay name. And then she married a guy with the last name Mann. She took his last name and is now Mrs. [name]Gaye[/name] Mann.
I know a woman [name]Candace[/name] [name]Cane[/name], who went by [name]Candy[/name], she was [name]Candy[/name] [name]Cane[/name] up until she got married There’s also an elderly lady whose married name was [name]Rosie[/name] Bottoms
Not as good as some of the above, but for what they’re worth:
Poor fellow teachers’ surnames: Sexy, [name]Gaye[/name] and Hiscock.
My former PE teacher was an intimidating Mrs Fitt, though that’s not nearly as funny as the Kitchen/Cook combo!
[name]New[/name] Scientist’s nominative determinism is a fascinating read, though my IT skills are not up to posting a link, sorry.
And there are always a few smart-alecs in the Birth Announcements who go with [name]Harley[/name] [name]Davison[/name], [name]Jett[/name] [name]Black[/name], etc. Yawn!
And my mom grew up with a Richard Rash (“Dick Rash”).
