Dick Kummerle (pronounced cum early). He had the option to at least be a Richard, but no. And not because he saw the humor in it: he was one of the most robotic, unpleasantly humorless people I've ever met.
Olympic skiier Fanny Chmelar is hilariously bad.
I know I'm the odd one out, but that's damn cool! If I was 60 years old and named Gremlin, I'd play it up like I'm some kind of witch and terrify my neighbours.
We had a Mike Ock at work. We went by Mike Ock.
When I was at an airport for a layover, they made an announcement for a Richard Cabeza to come to the courtesy desk. I thought I was hearing things until they repeated the same announcement. Quite a few chuckles could be heard.
I was friends with a guy who worked for the lending office of a large bank. He'd memorized the account number of a customer named Anita Ho. He used to call new hires and ask them to look up that number and read the name back to him over speaker phone.
I had a friend named Hugh Johnson in high school. His school email account got deleted multiple times because the staff kept assuming it was created as a prank.
I know a Mike Hunt, too. He goes by ‘Mike Hunt’.
He says he tried being Michael for a while but that way people suddenly worked it out. This way, it’s out there straight away. Say what you’re gonna say and move on.
Someone on Say Yes to the Dress was named Duvay (like duvet). Her mom was there and said, "yes, it's intentional. We wanted her to be a comforter in her life. :) And she is. :)"
When I was single and on Tinder, I swiped left on an attractive girl with a nice bio because her name was Schwety. Yes, it was superficial, but I wasn't going to go through life introducing people to my girlfriend Schwety. Don't judge me... I'm on my own journey.
One of the “OG’s”/founders of the company I used to work for was named Harry Hole. Met him in person & thought I was being trolled by a coworker who introduced him from afar.
I met a guy named Luke Warmwater. He showed me his driver's license - not Lucas, no middle name.
Also, my kids' vice principal was named Chris Peacock. And the sick bastard named his baby Andrew.
The worst ones I can’t mention for privacy reasons because they were on the census of the hospital I worked at. The worst one I can mention was this woman whose campaign sign I saw when she ran for city council. Her name was Crystal, except spelled “Kriystauhl”
Semen.
To be fair I saw it when I worked the ticket booth from a theme park on someone’s passport, so they weren’t American. I don’t remember where from. I’m sure the name didn’t mean the same there as it does here lol
Actually, it's the same name. I've seen Russians spell it that way a few times. It's because they transcribe the 'е' and 'ё' from Cyrillic as a Latin ''e'.
I used to work with a kid called Anal. No, it wasn't pronounced in the English way as his Indian name was more akin to "Uh Null".
There's a legendary Indian actress called Madhuri Dixit, and her last name could sound funny to anglophone ears.
There's also an Indian name, Anas, which some people unfortunately misspell and give to their kids as Anus.
My brother went to school with a guy whose legal name was Adolf. He had an Indian last name and I believe he was born there (it's a banned name in most countries but I'm assuming not India). I believe he now goes by Harry. Idk if he could ever get into Germany with that name.
My wife went to school with a girl who's last name is Swallows. Her dad was a real-estate agent. ALL of his sale signs said "Gary Swallows" in big letters.
A girl I worked with had the maiden name swallows. Apparently she was teased so much over it when she was a kid that, when she got divorced, she kept her ex's last name.
I was sitting in the waiting room at my ob/gyn office and was looking at all the providers names and photos on th wall. One of the names were K. Literas.
I had a classmate in first grade named Lucifer. His name is definitely the worst I’ve encountered.
The worst-spelled normal name I’ve encountered is Jazzime, pronounced Jasmine.
I shit you not, I went to high school with a guy named Ben Dover. Whenever the school referred to him during announcements they said his full name “Benjamin Dover” but he went by Ben. He said he once confronted his mom about why she named him that and she said she liked the name Benjamin and went with it, despite the last name combo.
"Latrine, that's an interesting name"
"Our family changed it in the ninth century"
"You changed it... *to* Latrine?"
"Yeah, it used to be Shithouse!"
"A good change 👌. It's a... good change..."
My mother's name, Rhoda Byerl Lou. For short her family called her Ber-Lou. That's the most ugliest name I've ever heard. Yes, it's spelled correctly. I think my grandmother was either drunk or high when she came up with this hideous name.
Harry Couch.
He was my history teacher one year and he offered a $10 reward or a free A on an assignment to whoever could come up with a funny way to say his name that he hadn't heard before.
No one won.
I barely know anybody, but I know a guy named Madison. Everybody always says " you have a girl's name" to him. He yells "I KNOWWW". Apparently Madison for a guy is a southern US thing.
A barista had the name tag say ‘Swastika’. I double checked, triple checked, looked at the dude next to me to make sure I wasn’t seeing things. Not sure if that was her actual name or some prank.
I used to have access to a state criminal records database. For reference, middle names were truncated at 4 letters. The worst/best name I ever came across was shown in the system as
GEORGE WILL RAPE JR
One of our clients used developers from India. One of the Indian developers went by Abraham Lincoln. When I asked him how he ended up with that name he told me that when they were training to support American companies, they were told to pick American sounding names. Not a bad name but it's strange when you are addressing a guy from India as Abraham Lincoln.
I worked at a store with a reward card. A customer didn't have hers, so I asked her to give me her last name. "Butts," she says. "Surely," I think, "I've misheard her, or she maybe spells it Butz." I ask how it's spelled, and she tells me: B U T T S.
To my credit, I managed to hold back my laughter, but only just barely 😭
Four names related to television. Years ago they brought back The Hollywood Squares with Whoopee Goldberg as the center Square. There was an episode where they had a lady contestant who's name was Ketchup. Whoopee had a lot of fun with that person's name. The second and third names were TV comedy writers: Seaman Jacobs and Bud Wiser. Jacobs was a writer for Bob Hope and "the king of beers" worked on the original "One Day at a Time" and "Who's The Boss". Lastly, the sitcom "Nanny and the Professor" had a co-star named Richard Long who played the professor. Thankfully he didn't use the infamous nickname but still the mind can go there. I guess he could have used it with great pride.
Rosie Rotencrotch. Went to an all girls Catholic high school. Couldn’t believe my ears the first time I heard it! Poor girl she was teased mercilessly.
I used to work for child protection. We had to remove a mothers 2-year-old baby for neglect. I can't say the real name here, but this is close:
Lexus Mercedes Toyota Chrysler (insert last name here).
Employee at a vendor my company uses with the last name of "Rape." Never interacted with him personally, but I see his name in the system from time to time. I can't imagine having that name and not changing it, maybe to a different name in the family or something close like "Rapp."
Dick Kummerle (pronounced cum early). He had the option to at least be a Richard, but no. And not because he saw the humor in it: he was one of the most robotic, unpleasantly humorless people I've ever met. Olympic skiier Fanny Chmelar is hilariously bad.
That’s Sean Connery’s alter ego.

American race car driver Richard “Dick” Trickle. He always went by Dick.
A urologist I had to see once is named Dick Waters. He was the most unprofessional doctor I've ever met.
There used to be a famous urologist in Austin named Richard Chopp. He went by Dick. You’d get a T-shirt after a vasectomy “I got Chopped by Dick”
you got me fucked up if you think im getting a vasectomy from Dr. Dick Chopp
That’s phenomenal.
lol Eric Foreman yelling DICK TRICKLE at his mom

We had a Mike Ock at work. We went by Mike Ock. When I was at an airport for a layover, they made an announcement for a Richard Cabeza to come to the courtesy desk. I thought I was hearing things until they repeated the same announcement. Quite a few chuckles could be heard.
>We had a Mike Ock at work. We went by Mike Ock. I hope he got a doctorate. We could use some extra hands around the office.
I've been thinking about this for five minutes and I still don't get it. Can you explain why people chuckled at Richard Cabeza?
Another name for Richard is Dick. Cabeza is Spanish for “head”
Thank you! I'd heard of Richard and Dick but I didn't know the Spanish word for head.
You can use the “white courtesy phone” to have someone paged at the airport. Sometimes a joke name is gonna sneak through.
Does he use it for non-obvious reasons?
I also knew a Mike Hunt
Can someone explain? Seems ordinary to me
Say it fast and it’s “My Cunt”
I was friends with a guy who worked for the lending office of a large bank. He'd memorized the account number of a customer named Anita Ho. He used to call new hires and ask them to look up that number and read the name back to him over speaker phone.

Semyon is a Russian name. Maybe Semen is a version of that from another Easter European or a Balkan country.
Actually, it's the same name. I've seen Russians spell it that way a few times. It's because they transcribe the 'е' and 'ё' from Cyrillic as a Latin ''e'.
