Great last names

[KellyHabersham]

We had some book returns at the library yesterday from a "Roger Blackgoat".

My mother was given something to read about an operation she was due to have. among the references at the end was a Dr. Goblin.

You've just got to hope he never worked as a pediatrician, just imagine telling a child you were taking them to see Dr. Goblin

And my favourite name ever, from an advertisement in an alternative health free paper, June McOstritch.

Velveeta Cheese. A former patient.

Yes, that was my reaction.

Both from today:

Unusual first name - Claudius. A name I have never encountered other than Hamlet's uncle.

Unusual last name - Precious.

Not necessarily bad for a woman, less good for a man. This is a man with a blokish name - basically a Dave or Barry Precious (but not actually those names).

He's a white male too, and no noticable accent, so I'd be really interested to know where the name came from. I'm used to getting to see lots of new and interesting names from people who are obviously from cultures that are new and interesting to me.

ETA - surely his friends do Gollum impersonations to wind him up. I found it hard to resist.

A neighbor when I was a teen: Reed Balls.

At work, we get the county recorder's bi-weekly publication of forclosures, mortgages, etc. and I keep a list of some that would make great character names for RPGs:

Crystal Goggleye
Shayla Heavenfire
lastname: Zantow

And the latest one had someone with a last name of Klingsporn. Me being a bit of a trekkie, I got some bad imagery from that one.

The Dr. who performed my hubby's vasectomy.......Dr. Lovinggood.

At field training, there was an FTO (Field Training Officer) whose last name was Morgan. She was a Captain...so some of my friends were trained by Captain Morgan

Just had to share this one - I was checking in bookdrop stuff at the library today, and I got an item which triggered a "hold request" for someone with the last name of "Moron".

I had a rather spacey customer back when I worked in cell phones aptly named "Precious Blunt".

She was rather hard to talk to because her brain never seemed to work quickly enough to understand normal human speech patterns...almost like she was on a certain illegal drug... :-P

Had this conversation with her way too many times to count:
"Ma'am, you've used up all your minutes. That's why your phone has stopped working."
"Wait...what? I did what now?"

One of my co-workers had a call from a customer with the last name of Ho. He expressed concern to me about using the customer's name. I told him it was a common name in SE Asia, long before it took on the current connotations it has in the Western world.

saw a commercial for a local Womens Clinic -- one of the Dr's last name was Temp as in Dr. Temp

My Gynos name is Dr. Wiwi and yes it's pronounced the way you think it is ;p


And I've been recently troubleshooting missing test results for a patient with the last name of Casagrande.

[Nashida]

I once served a customer at the pool store with the last name of Sourbutt. It was very hard to keep a straight face until after she left the store.

My middle school nurse's last name was Hickey....I'd say her first name because it makes it twice as funny, but I don't know if that'd be against the rules.

[Sauletekis]

We ran a report at work the other day and the whole office ended up in a fit of giggles to see these two customers stacked on top of each other in the list-

Miss *** Suckall
Mr *** De Kock

AHAHAHAHAHA! And it just seemed too perfect. If only they were to get married and she were to decide to have a double barrelled last name. If only...
