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

Probably spelled Kok.

The common spelling for it is Koch. They emphasise the h in a very dutch way, thus spitting all over you.

Wanker is a common surname in the states. On the mork and mindy show, her landlord was mr wanker.

Spelt Cockburn but he pronounced it Coburn.

Lots of Hoares in Ireland too. Earlier in thread a couple of you were saying Cock is a surname. Would be funny if someone went for a double barreled name
Mrs. Cock Hoare.
