names that make you laugh

No probs Jude I just didn't want TC racing through his remaining memories and worrying that he may have passed through the life of a Miss Chicken and forgotten. there's a newsreader on Radio2 called Funella Fudge

How about calling twin girls Polly and Esther?

My headmaster was called Mr D i c k He really was. Just think what a good headmaster you'd have to be to get through life with that name. (and you can imagine the hilarity involved when the word (HEAD) in brackets appeared after his name on his office door. (I spread out the letters because I don't want him to google himself and find me - an ex-pupil who thought he was brilliant and have told him so - posting about his 'hilarious' name).

i think you missed the point of the question jasper i was meaning more in the line of indivuals names preferably famous or so called famous people !

For no apparent reason I used to find 'trude' names like Ermintrude and Gertrude amusing - however Magic Roundabout cured me :)

Louis Al-two-zar... Herbert Mark-who?-zah... Whatsisname Lyotard...(always makes me think of a trapeze artist!) and my favourite...Michel Fook-alt... Ha! Chins up pesky foreign literary theorists!

"i think you missed the point of the question jasper..." Jasper doesn't read the question, he just likes to type comments and then read them back to himself over and over. It's to compensate for all those people who don't bother reading them because he talks fucking kak. Names, um, famous ones - minnie driver. cos, like, ugh, it sounds like someone who drives a mini. hahahaha.

I'm sure some here think that's her only claim to fame Max - but I suspect it's almost exclusively women :) [%sig%]

Dwayne Pipe (we did have a real silly names thread a couple of years ago and I think it was TC whom claimed to have encountered an Ingrid Chicken)

Captain Pugwash and Seaman Staines.

Apparently this is an urban legend. Quote The Captain Pugwash cartoon, which originally ran on the BBC between 1958 and 1967, is widely believed to have featured characters with risqué maritime names such as Master Bates, Seaman Staines, and Roger the Cabin Boy. In fact, the crew of the famous Black Pig ship included sailors with no such names: present on board were Master Mate, Tom the Cabin Boy, and Pirates Barnabas and Willy. (No character with the designation of 'Seaman' appeared in the show.) Series creator John Ryan successfully won retractions and settlements from the Sunday Correspondent and the Guardian after both newspapers claimed that the show's characters did indeed have smutty names, and that the BBC had taken it off the air as a result. see

I know, but the names are soooo damn funny...

They are excellent! Master Bates, brilliant

Willy??????

I know two Dicks. They are happy being called Dick - why not!

Sorry Ely. I am good at remembering trivia but not always assigning it correctly, my deepest apologies to both you and Ingrid.

mr blower pe teacher !!

Have you got PE tomorrow Megan?

At a former place of employment, used to receive regular faxes from a Dutch guy callled Tiny Kox.

Can't see why you feel the need to be anon Sharkey - lots of people like Dick.

There's a new reporter called, oh, I dunno, Nina Nanna naa or something. Everytime they mention her name I have to chuckle.

I think twins often have the most unfortunate names. I've known a few pairs of 'em. Bernadean and Bernadette. Noel and Joel. Jim and Dave (okay, their names don't make me laugh). I mean, why can't parents give them completely different names? Poor sods go through life being mistaken for one another anyway...

I was at Uni with a James James not funny but almost tragic...

An american I knew was called Randy Dick. Yes really. My other half's uncle was christened Grey Woolley. In Newfoundland, someone I knew knew someone who was born and bred on the island and had the incongruous name of Juan Buckle. I can't think of anywhere on earth less like Mexico than Newfoundland.

I always liked Clinton's nom du jour: Slick Willie. Americans don't use 'willie' much for the male apparatus, so I think most of 'em missed the double entendre, of which either interpretation was appropriate: as teflon Prezzie or high-ranking stud.

Jude, it was me who knew Ingrid Chicken, I nused to work with her at a hotel. and my mum's optician was actually called Ian Ball. (work it out)

And speaking of literary willies: Raymond Willy-ams. *blushes* hehe!

There is a footballer called Danny Invincible. Not convinced he is invincible though, otherwise he would play for a better team that Swindon.

I knew a woman named Mildrid Babbage

I had a schoolteacher named Mrs. Sprinkle, which I found hilarious when I was eight... I suppose it isn't, now...

mr blower

QPR used to have players called Peter Shirtliff and Simon Stainrod. That was very amusing when I was eleven and watching the cup-final.
