    When I was in Sales I had a couple of business owners that I was dealing with that had pretty funny names and I always had a hard time keeping myself together when visiting with them.. Two that I could never ever forget are:

    Dick Burns

    Dick Schmeckpepper

    Both great guys and both drove a 7 series BMW.

    I could not imagine working for them though, because I would get fired right away because I chuckle too much

        I used to work with a guy named Harry Schwartz. Being a fan of the movie "Spaceballs", his name always made me laugh.

          Went to high school with a guy named Harry Hertz.
          Had a customer named Som **** (pronounced SH**)

          Well it seems that the forum won't allow Ch##it

          Delete the ## for the proper spelling of the name.

            About 30 years back I met a man who had just graduated from medical school - and yup..... you guessed it...... his last name was Doctor and he was henceforth known as Doctor Doctor.

              I went to grad school with Barbara Butt. She changed her name to Barbara Harris.

                OK, I've got more:

                A kid in my high school, with a last name of John, was given the name John.

                A high school friend married a girl named Crystal Glass.

                We also had a couple teachers (actually, two teachers who were a couple) with the last name Butts. I like to think his first name was Seymour, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't.

                Regards,
                Tom

                  Then you have me.

                  Michael T. Shue or M. T. Shue (Empty Shoe)

                  And after I married my wife, we became..... A couple of Shues.

                    One of the CEO's of Reynolds Metals was Richard M Holder. When he spoke at a plant I worked at he introduced himself as "Dick Holder" and surveyed the crowd. He looked in pretty good shape, I wondered if he was a champion middle weight in college.

                      We once had a lady at work named Penny. I can't remember her maiden name, but she married a guy by the name of Dick Hoar. I'm not sure if she preferred to be called Mrs. Dick Hoar or Penny Hoar.

                        We had an elderly widow living down the street from us and we only knew her as Mrs Woodcock. When she passed away the obituary revealed her given name was Iva.

                            An insurance claim came through our office for a Urologist by the name of Dr. Glasscock.
