Some asian bloke I saw in Tescos about 10 years ago, had a kid with him called "Reebok" which to this day makes me cringe like hell.

I wonder how he’s pronouncing the last part of his surname?

William Tunstall-Pedoe, the inventor behind Amazon’s voice assistant Alexa…

My Dad knew a man with the surname De Kock (which is a common surname in South Africa) but I was a little surprised to find out that his parents named him Vernon Dirk.

I worked with a George Minge. He had to constantly correct everyone because it was pronounced "Ming-Ey". Not surprised he was a grumpy sod.

I kid you not, that was her real name lol.

Worked for a company who employed a Hardick Nokum. Not entirely sure of the spelling of the surname but you can figure out the pronunciation.

His parents didn't give him a chance...

I once had to call out a customer's name and shouted "Mrs Death to reception".

She was furious, and told me it was pronounced "DayArth".

Reminds me of a story my mother told she used to work on GPO telephones as a switchboard operator and once had a man she gingerly pronounced as "mr shay-ite" he replied "my name is **** and I'm proud of it!"

Our chef was called Gay, which I think came from her Irish roots.

I know a man, surname Gay. He is a 5th Dan black belt, and not someone to mock...

There ain't too many 6th Dans about!

I used to train with him and he's also handy with a variety of weapons. He is very intimidating when he has a sword in hand...

There are a couple of Indian cricketers called Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh. So "Bumrah caught Asrhdeep" would have been a tricky one for Jonners.

A colleague I was sat next to was calling a customer with 1st name Shelagh (unusual spelling of Sheila).

He said: "Hello, is that SHLAAAG?"

How I laughed.
