When your working in customer service, like I have done, you come across people with some funny, strange, or very interesting names,
one guys actual name was Kitten Dick
another was Phoc Yu and you know how that sounds in english
there was an Irma Pigg
and finally Skye Blue
have you come across any unusual or funny names in your acquaintances?

I don't recall having heard a funny name like that. But I have the opportunity of having to foreign colleague which I may say was a close friend of mine. One is a Briton named D1ck and the other one was an American named John. They are both teasing each other because each other names have a not so good meaning in their country. Like D1ck in the US means you know what and John is slang for toilet bowl in Britain lol:)

Oh, do I have good ones for you! I also work in customer service, in the retail industry, and when i come across these weird funny names, the customer is usually standing right in front of me, therefor, i cannot laugh! So here it goes...The funniest i can remember was called Georges Clitorinos. There was also this man named Vincenzo Mezzigocce (which means in between your legs in italian) this lady named Giovanna Mezzacappa (which means half a head in italian)

This made me think all the way back to when I was in school. I used to go to school with a guy who was in the same grade as I was. His name was Kevin Case. I knew him all the way through school. One day after we had graduated, I seen him at a park and he introduced me to his brother, who was a little bit younger. His name was Justin Case. " Just in case". I thought that was so weird, awesome and funny all at the same time.

Just last month I met a guy whose name was Harry Wolfe. I thought that this was funny!
When growing up there were a brother and sister in our school. Her name was Candy Barr and his name was Clark Barr. What were these parents thinking?

LOL oh wow. I don't know if I could do customer service. I am very giggly when it comes to names and well, anything. I would hate to offend a person by laughing at their name, but wow, some of those names are just too funny. I am a fan of some unconventional names, but any name that is obviously gonna be made fun of, or get instant giggles, well, I couldn't see naming my kids that. And some of those names, if I was named it, I would be getting my name legally changed stat! LOL

some time the kids used to laugh at the names after the call was over, but of course nobody laughed at the client on the phone.

Yes I know and what I don't get is these modern day parents
picking the names they're picking my goodness don't they realize these poor children have this attatched to them for the rest of their life. Some of these names are ridiculous and as far as I'm concerned they are not even names right ?
