My dad had a mate called Iver Wood and nicknamed 'woody'
Dad being the smart alec he was, used to introduce him to people as 'Iver woody'.
Some people would get it, others not! Dad would sit back and have a good ole giggle at Iver's expense watching people's reactions or lack thereof. Cheers

I knew a family when I was growing up that had three daughters named Faith, Hope and Charity. There's also a guy here in Newcastle that is an ex member of Parliament called.......wait for it........Richard Face.

Would have been funnier if his last name was Biggun

Parents that do that to their children are not fit to be parents. A human being isn't some cheap joke.

The guy that sand blasted my rims is called Jorma Yrjölä. Pretty much the same as being Dick Mcbarf. I also once knew a man called Jorma Jortikka, closest would be Dick Johnson.

There's some interesting names or name combinations here too that have been banned, like Unelma Sirpa Leena, three perfectly common woman names, that is until you combine the latter too it says "dream in shatters"...
