I admit I giggled. I didn't want to, it's just I couldn't help it. I genuinely did not know they actually existed


Anyone you happen to know or have met with a name you could just not resist? The type of name where the poor person may have grounds to take their parents to court for childhood cruelty?

My friend had a French exchange student stay with her when we were kids. Her name was Fanny. That kept us laughing for an entire summer.

According to Google, Ben Dover is a porn actor and director, so how did you, eh, manage to come across the guy?

A friend is married to a French girl called Fanny.
Another friend is married to a German guy called Michael Koch, everyone knows him as Mickey, he's lived in Ireland for years. I was there when Fanny and Mickey Koch were introduced. 'Teas funny.

But the best bit is that Mickey's dad was over here visiting years ago. His name? Gehart.

One time in work I served a lad called Les Behan. He saw me do a double take of his card and he said 'Yeah, that's my name for my sins'. A good sport in fairness.

I went to college with a guy called Enda Head and his father was Richard.

My aunt is called Trish and she fell for a guy called Mark Fish. She called it off when she realised she'd be Trish Fish. This wasn't the only reason but was a contributing factor!

On a similar note, I worked with a Paul Mycock a few years ago. I still remember that first time I asked him for his email address, and he spelt out his surname. I was dying inside trying not to laugh.

We nicknamed him Tug for convenience.

When i worked in dell there was a guy who had a load of computers who rang up all the time for support.

"Whats the Service Tag there mate?"

"Ok thanks, And the Name? DICK RAPER"

I mean the man was Richard really but called him self Dick, Imagine with a second name like that.

Used to just pass him around to all the lads and get them to ask his name, You'd hear outbursts of laughter from all around the office. Was great craic

A similar but off subject story.....

In the 70's before the Euro... I was buying a Tshirt from the UK and needed to send a sterling bank draft. So off to bank I went and queued at the foreign exchange desk.

A nice lady teller served me and I asked for a draft in name of 'Tell It Tee Shirts'
She said the name abit too long and could see shorten it ... I said yes and she made the draft out to TITS. Then went around the branch getting Managers to sign it off and I couldn't understand when they were all giggling and looking at me funny... When I saw the draft... I wanted they ground to swallow me!!!!

I think I went to confession later that evening cos of my catholic guilt!!!

This isn't real but it made me laugh at the time, partly because the guy who made it up isn't really that strong of an English speaker in the first place.

Was sitting in the front row of a theatrical ballet performance in London, looking down on the musicians area below the stage. A pianist was sitting right in front of us, with a girl sitting on the stool next to him turning the pages of the sheet music as he played. My friend, who is actually Russian, leans in to me and whispers "I bet her name is Paige Turner".

I know it doesn't sound so funny now, one of those "you had to be there" moments, but Jesus I almost fainted trying to stop myself exploding with the giggles
