Here's a favorite of mine:

A dentist named Dr. Savage.

An unfortunate young man, who attended the same high shcool as I, was named by his parents "John Rambo". How could Mr. and Mrs. Rambo have known naming their son John would cause him much teasing in Jr. and Sr. High?

A relative of mine once worked with a man named Hans Fagg. Poor him; can't imagine the crap he took for *that* when young. And this one isn't offensive or naughty, just silly---I worked once with a guy (a good guy who probably doesn't deserve this embarrassment) named Rodger Rodgers. What were his parents *think*ing?

I remember some sit-com from the 80's where the name Bud Weiser appeared during the credits (I think he was the writer?). Bud is probably not his real name but I always thought it was cool anyway.

I know this isn't really the same subject, but a friend and I (Matt Wright, if you care) were trying to come up with as many of those "joke names" as we could. Here are the ones I could remember:

-Dick Hertz
-Mike Hunt (my favorite)
-Mike Hawk (I made that up so it's a bit of a stretch; I actually knew a Mike Hawk once, go figure!)
-Rob McCrotch (someone else I know made that up for a guy who's name was Rob McC--something)

You could go on with the really famous ones (Oliver Clothesoff, etc) but I won't bother.

For my Info Systems classes in college, we made tons of applications that required test data and of course we'd come up with the rudest names we could possibly think of:
- Heywood Jablowme
- Buster Cherry
- Buster Heiman
- Ben Dover

I can't even remember the others....

And, maybe off-topic a bit, but there is a town in Kentucky called Big Bone Lick.

On The Man Show last night, they had a segment with guys with humorous names. They had guys with the names: Dick Hertz, Mike Hunt, Chuck Dick, and Jack Hoff. Chuck Dick claimed to have a sister named Anita -- ouch.

I was reminded of a good fake name the other day:

I think it's from the Simpson's but hadn't heard it for awhile.

As a high school teacher, my mother taught students named Candy Barr and Melody Bonk.

And as for fake names, the doctor played my John McGinley on "Scrubs" was named Harry Cox until they changed it to Perry Cox. I loved that they never said his first and last names in the same show. They seem to've dubbed over the earlier reruns for continuity.
