There was a guy in my year (and most of my classes) called Daniel Wanklin. (Dons: please don't edit this because it's true).

That makes 2 of us then!

P.S. just found his autograph which I had in an old notepad

He always had a thing about writing "happy Christmas" even though I took these autographs on Leaver's Day (1995 GCSEs).

If it counts, I had (seriously) a great, great, great, great, great aunt Fanny and she was married to my uncle Dick.

Only last night (or the night before) there was a Doctor David Nut being interviewed on TV. Profession: psychologist

Probably not an "unfortunate" name, but a great name for a shrink

Had a guy at my secondary school with the surname Gaylord...

I'm almost sure I remember a runner called Gaylord Silly.

I knew of someone called Jocelyn Mycock. Also, indirectly, a couple with the surname Mall who called their daughter Cara. Cara Mall...Caramel.

Although Fifi Trixibelle Geldof probably takes the biscuit as the most unfortunate name. For a person, anyway. It would be a fine name for a decorative poodle.

My middle aged Geography teacher in high school in the late 80's was Richard Head. His parents can't have known what would happen by the time their child was 30+ and Jasper Carrot was making his name legendary!

Reminds me - my mum used to have a teacher at school with a probably French last name something like Blumfleuf (not sure actual spelling off the top of my head) - can guess the nickname.
