Had a guy at my high School, I believe he was a couple of years ahead of me, named Spike Nail. He had a sister named Penny.
When I was on my Brother's Navy Ship, back in July of '93 on a one week Tiger Cruise, one of the young enlisted guy's last name was Gilligan.
I have a rather uncommon last name, although most everyone here on CS has likely heard it before, it's the same as someone fairly well known here in the States. Anyway, a few years back I got a SPAM in one of my accounts, for a watch, or Viagra, or whatever, that looked like it could have been sent by my fraternal Aunt, some 60 or so years previous, while she still shared the family surname, before she married. Her first name isn't super uncommon for a woman her age, but there are a few different common spellings, and the SPAM just happened to be the correct one. So, of course, I had to tease my totally technophobe Aunt (not even interested in something as simple back then as a WebTV for easy internet access), wondering how she managed to send me a SPAM e-mail, if she was so adamant against computers and such.
Also got a SPAM to the same account, awhile after that, with the same name as a former co-worker. Both her first and last names aren't really uncommon, just not as common as something like Mary Smith, or Alice Brown.
Oh, and although I've never followed NASCAR closely, I'd occasionally here where Dick Trickle placed (if he even finished the race), and it seems like he consistently performed poorly.

He worked for a contractor that we did business with. Nice guy, really bad last name.
