[Closed] Best names for a real human person you've ever encountered

Benedict Cumberbatch

Mike Hunt
I also go for a beer with a Mike Strange

Once met a guy called Neil Doon.
He worked for a firm called Poole Dick Associates.

Also once met a guy who worked for Dunnes Stores in Dublin and his name was Paddy Fields.

Went to school with a bloke called Matt White. Think his dad might have been a painter and decorator.

I once got introduced to a guy named Kevin Wardrobe in a meeting, I asked how to spell his last name. He just said "no you heard right it's Wardrobe"

Genuine names of people I've personally met, or witnessed:

Where on earth do you hang out? 😯

Can't remember his first name but my wife used to work with a guy who's surname is Batman.

Was expecting to see Minty Badger and Scary Looker* on the end of slimjims list.

*horrible histories reference.

Emma Royds

Randy Clinger

I've got a good one, but won't share it on a public forum.
My first name and two middle names rhyme.
My Brothers name also rhymes with mine, and one of his middle names also rhymes..

Other good ones certain Nigerian, Middle east & Asian names.
All good ones are too rude for the forum sadly.

So, pointless post then.

Where on earth do you hang out?

Ha! One I met in London, one a colleague, a couple during call center work years ago, and another in movie credits that I had to Google to believe was true.

Emma Royds

Obv Wayne Kerr

We also have a Randy somethingorother at our US office which never sounds quite right 'Hi is RANDY there' or 'can I speak to RANDY' 'Hiiiiiiiii RANDY'

*cough*

My dad was a school friend of [url= https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimrod_Ping ]Nimrod[/url]

I bought a car off a man in Houston whose name was Randy Bishop

Had dealings at work with a girl named Sorca Hunt. She was married and I assume she took her husbands surname. Perhaps inadvisable.

Our group scout leader was Dick Short

My brother had a Kimberley Clark in his class

I also was at University with mike Hunt. Used to make football matches great fun - quick!! Mike Hunt's wide open!

I also used to work with a Senior guy called Randall Lay - Randy for short. One time he was in a meeting at my site and a phone message came in for him. The PA took it and then asked me if she should interrupt the meeting or not, but as we were discussing they broke for coffee and he came out, to which she then delivered the never to be forgotten - "Excuse me, are you Randy?"

And then we also had a lady called Regina Hairie.

This is wonderful!

So many great names, Mary Christmas is just about perfect.

Although it took me a few goes to 'Say it quick, and drop the H' , Colette Harris is just genius.

Ophelia Dick - how can you improve on that? I wonder if related to Everelda?

Our chimney sweep is Called Hilton Basnett. It's not funny, it's just a bloody magnificent name.

I work with a Mrs Hoare.

Precious Stone and would it surprise you to learn that she was from Basildon?

Magnificent names count - this is a celebration of namedom.

Mike Hunt

I used to work with a Mike Hunt. He was adamant everyone called him Michael. Nobody did.

Jean-Luc Picard. He works for one of the Enterprise teams
if true then BRILLIANT

100% True apparently the bloke is a good sport about it too. His email signature says "Make it so"!

Back in Exeter I knew a Justin Case. then there was also Matt Smith....though there were randomly 4 Matt Smiths in our group of friends so he changed his name to Robin the rainbow warrior Hood.
oh, and Dragon, no surname.

His email signature says "Make it so"!

This has made my WEEK.

Helmut Schmelling

Guy at work called Euan Kerr, though at least his parents went the u and not the w....

I used to deliver mail to Axel A Hellwig. I think I met him once, and sadly he didn't appear to actually be a rock star.

I never met him, but in the 80s one of the doctors around Arisaig was Dr Donald Duck.

Not met but: Sandi Flange, US Nude Sunbathing assoc.

On a radio documentary about redundant car worker from after the Longbridge closure looking for new careers:

Maurice Minor

I bloke on my mates Uni course changed his name fropm something perfectly ordinary ( Andrew Wilson I think?) to ...

The Mad Bush.

It was on his degree certificate, bank cards etc.

Oh yeah. Mrs PP had an operation on her knee. The surgeon was Dr Chisel.

funkmasterp - isn't it comforting just to know that there's genuinely a guy walking around called Marshall Law?

And you're right, Somsak Nimanong has an exquisite ring to it. Reminds me of the Junkians in Transformers the Movie.

I noticed today that Christian Horner of Red Bull F1 and Geri Helliwell of Spice Girl fame have called their new baby Montague George Hector Horner. My wife works in the NHS and like someone says on the first page the Nigerian names that she comes across are Awesome....and that is quite literally one little lads name..Awesome. Taking a nominative determinism route.. my lad came home the other day from school and said his supply teacher for English that day was called Mrs Stammer!!!.

Donald Duck.

This will be what US Secret Service agents will have to shout in the event of an assassination attempt.

Precious McKenzie the weightlifter

I do like the African names that are qualities they want in the child. Patience etc.

A lad at schools dad was called Roger Myring

a friend of mine has a kid in her class called Shrek

apparently the father got his disney movies mixed up when he registered because it was meant to be Mulan.

This letter made me laugh. No idea if it's true or not.

Saviour Casha who ran a car hire firm in Malta

and Etta Bogle from back in Scotland

I'm reading through this thread with gritted teeth 👿 I did work out years ago that being called D**k Staines was way better than R.Staines and on the plus side I moved in opposite to D**k Head recently

Kid at school back in 80's in York called Caswell Coggins!

A guy at work changed his name from Steve Smith to Blake 7.

as an aside, I used to work in Staines, a colleague of mine was genuinely charged with answering the phone 'Good morning Siemens Staines'

I was once introduced to a Dick Feast. Oh how I laughed, it did not go down well.

I've just remembered, there's a gynaecologist at Manchester University Hospital called Judith Gash.

I have regular meetings with an Asian chap whose "western" name is Max Wang 😀

When I was at school there was rumored to be a brother sister combo of Ophelia and Everard Dicks. Everyone professed to have met them but I didnt so called out as an "urban myth".

The Neville brothers Dad is Neville Neville apparently.

I worked in IT and had contractors who names are folklore ten years on:

Akhsa Fhukarat - male
Khuntal Dave - female
