Not a surname but I deal regularly with a guy whose first name is Cock. Relatively common in the Netherlands apparently.

I've also come across a Fred Fuchs. An Irish one that amuses particularly Americans is Hoare in its various spelling versions

Killer Wench

I have a Native surname. It's a common enough surname in the tribal community, so whenever I meet someone familiar with it, I am asked if I am related to this person or that person. Otherwise, I was teased for my surname growing up. I used to cringe when teachers called out my name because my first name was unusual to most Americans and then my surname seemed so funny.

Truthfully, I'm always fascinated by people who are named John Johnson or Charlie Charles.

Read somewhere that the great director Alfred Hitchcock used to say to people (to put them at ease, like): "Call me Hitch, without the cock."

Talking of which, the actress Olivia Wilde's real name is Olivia Cockburn. (I sort of see what she did there - she didn't want an embarrassing surname but didn't want to stray too far from the original meaning either...)

I remember the night Munich were playing in the CL Final this year and a lad I know who puts up the most ridiculous statuses you could imagine on FB put up;

'Schweinsteiger sounds like a cheap can of cider you'd give to your cat'.

Don't ask why but I thought it was hilarious
