My missus used to go out with a chap called Shufflebottom. I imagine he's still unmarried.
My brother-in-law swears he went to school with Marlon MacFarlane. I still don't really believe him...

I knew a Tracey Racie.
I heard on TV the other day about a midwife who was doing a home delivery for a couple of hippies. They named the child Randy (after some singer) but there surname was Devil!
Whether that is true or not I cannot say but there is definitely a guy who works in the same industry as me called Randy Bush.
A friend whose surname was Bunn named their daughter Chelsea and years ago when I worked at Norwich Union there was an insured called Mrs Halfmann.
When I was at Thomas Cook and had the thrilling job of counting travellers cheques there was one that was signed by a Mr Wanka from Nigeria. 
I went to school with someone called Pakon Bumcrust from Thailand, That's probably the maddest name I can recall.
Funny enough, I once wrote a list of my absolute favourites:

They are very good.
You can mine a rich seam in the world of PR, too.
I never met her but a woman (presumably) working for my company in another country was in the email address book as Winnie Poo.
There's also another guy in there called Gurk Wolfhardt, which is a pretty cool name.
The best one was one of the computer guys on my site called (honestly!) Ali Qaeda. He started pronouncing his surname 'kwayder'.
Not Alky Aida?
My A Level computer studies teacher's best friend when he was at school, was called Ping! The Disco Biscuit.
I have a client where I work called C. Cockburn.
And apparently it's not pronouced how you think either 
I knew a police officer called Marina Barnacle, her parents were hippies and thought the name was great!
