Worst names for people?

There was a Major P. Ennis who I think was in charge of Warcop or something, used to snigger at that name when I was in cadets at school.

Also some guy I met from uni who's first name was Unik (not 100% on spelling), pronounced just how it looks (i.e. eunuch).

Someone at school's surname was 'Pedon'. Endless jokes about him getting peed on, or being a Pedonphile etc. Not surprised he changed his name when his parents got divorced!

My gf knew of someone called Christopher Peacock at college near Warrington, apparently he was the headmaster's son or something.

I’m sure there was a thread like this years ago
Everard Koch, from Zimbabwe. He was an ex-colleague’s vet
Two guys I used to deal with in Turkey. There were only 4 people in that office. These two were called Asim Koc and Arman Kunt. The accepted way of talking about colleagues was to use their surnames, but no one in the UK could bring themselves to do that, so they were the only people in the business addressed by their first names

Used to come across the odd surname every now and again when I worked in call centres post uni.

Mr Triplecock
Miss Hogsflesh

Were the best I came across, like someone else, you had to address people by surname, so there were lots of laughs in the office at my mentioning of triplecock over and over.
 
Names that I remember.

Mr I. O. Moore - my university accommodation landlord

Ernst Kuntz a German I worked with. His business card was Herr E. Kuntz

My mum was at school with a girl called Ophelia who married a guy called John Crotch.

I’ve had two international colleagues- one a male member with a surname long and the other had an pakistani radial slur for his surname and spelt precisely the same. Uncomfortable.
i’m sure that some parents name their kids for kicks and giggles theresa greene and also a first name of Maverick.

I remember friends having to decide against Hugo because the french pronounce it U-go so with a particular surname that would be difficult..
