Worst names for people?

I worked with Lt Col Richard Head, introduced by him with “call me dickie”.

Great bloke, sound leader and really leaned into the name.
Almost certainly not the same guy, but I went to school with a Richard Head (IIRC the one I knew was American).

To make matters worse there was a Richard Knot (or might have been Knott) in the same year.
 
Genuinely, growing up there was a guy at school called Wayne King, what was going through his parents heads, I think his dad must have been a a Johnny Cash fan (boy named Sue)

Took me a moment! :o
 
Dikshit Garg - a lovely chap and great engineer who probably had no idea that the Anglosphere would find his first name hilarious until he got a job in the USA.

His joining team videoconferencing where the system announced his name using the same voice that Stephen Hawking’s chair used almost caused me to lose urine containment on a number of occasions.
 
I went to School With Paul Ness....P.Ness.

Also the guy in the year above us was Robert Puller, Bobbie Puller as he was known.

Is Bobbie a Scottish thing only? I don't hear other folk calling it that.
