I've contributed a few posts to the Ridiculous Made Up Names game thread, and recalled funny or odd names of real people I've come across over the years. The most hilarious was a doctor who's name was In Hur. The funniest part about it is, he was my gynecologist. When I told my sister I had an OB/GYN named In Hur, she told me her GYN's name...Dr. Fillerup.
 
We have a Vietnamese doctor here in Orlando whose sign reads: Phuoc Huu Pham. I know it isn't pronounced the way it looks, but it sure looks funny.

My mother used to work across the hall from a psychiatrist named Dr. Strange.

There's a guy in Idaho (I think it's Idaho) who's named Weldon Rumproast.

I went to school with a girl named Sally Cutter, who married a guy named Buttolph. If she had used a hyphenated name, it would be Sally Cutter-Buttolph. You have to say it.

Our last child was delivered by Dr Wiener....
 
My mom claims to have gone to grade school with a boy who'd come from a Louisiana bayou named Fried Dollar, and his sister, Eta Rat. This would have been in the late 30s. I was skeptical, but she swore to it. Said their last name was Cerce (sear-see).

I lived in an area of Sacramento (Calif) called Little Saigon. I'd read the business front signs aloud while driving through with my little grandkids, and they cracked up. My grandson (7yr) once asked "How come they can put naughty words on the signs?" I explained that I was the one being naughty, in that I was basically making fun of people's names. So, I don't read the signs aloud anymore....I just giggle to myself :playful:
I'll bet people kinda got the willies when they were told they'd be seeing a psychiatrist named Dr Strange.
Potatoes with your Rumproast?...(because, Idaho).
Poor Sally.
 
When I worked at a health insurance co., one NY doctors practice would call to follow up on thir claims. It was a husband and wife practice. Their last name was Doctor. so, it was Doctor Doctor and Doctor Doctor.
 
On a "Three Stooges" episode, they walked into an attorney's office; "Dewey Cheatum & Howe."
Many years ago, there was an article about a guy named "Dan Druff." And he was a barber.
