    There were a couple of Hoares at my secondary school which was a convent run by nuns. We used to snigger when Sr. Veronica had to call out their names during assembly.

    There was also a Catherine Hiney and a Hilary Schmoochen, or Smoochie as we used to call her.

    There was the famous cricket commentary gaff, "the bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willey...". The wrong names in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    My Dr. is called Dr. Bonner.

    That would be fine, except here in Donegal we pronounce it Boner.... never thought it was strange until I moved out of the county and realised other people pronounce it BON-NER

    Now I think it sounds a bit porn-starish :o

    There's some radio news or weather girl called "Jessie McGee".

    Now I thought that "Jessie McGee" was a perfectly normal name until one of my friends was rolling around the place laughing. Took a few minutes for the penny to drop........

    The worst I saw in my call centre days was 'Cockburn'. I can't remember his 1st name, think it was something normal like 'Dave'.

    Don Cockburn used to read the news on RTÉ for years. He was a mad keen cyclist if I recall. This fella, and this Boards.ie thread.

    There's a DJ who does the night shift on FM104 named Mel Byrne. Who would choose that as their radio name?

    Yeah she's on todayfm. And when she's not reading the news...Juliette Gash is. Kudos to the employers, priorities are in proper order.
