Rude family names!

[Granma Anne]

I too have had a few rib chuckles reading this thread.  May I add a few of non family tree members I know of?

In Bakersfield, California there is the Swift family who lovingly named their daughter Ophela.  And in Bethlehem, New York there used to be an Elsie Belchwinder- can't remember her sister's name but it was equally worth saving. Then I used to have a boss whose last name was Syrygly (pronounced Shrigley) and lastly there is Shaker Razook who used to hand out business cards embossed in gold. Worth having just for the unusual name.

Alas, my tree is just full of all those normal names, James, David, Alexander William, John, Thomas, Joseph, Elizabeth, Anne, Sarah, Jane, Agnes, Mary, with boring surnames that drift off into obscurity here and there.

I knew some folks who were very involved with "New Age" beliefs and they called their daughter "Iona Marina", to which I always wanted to reply "Iona Vauxhall Viva" . Rumour had it she was later nicknamed "Rusty".

Ohhhhh, nasty!
I'll bet he doesn't put his initials on many things.

Hello  there  was  scrolling  through  and having  a  giggle  when  i  had  to  add to  it all

I  went  to school  with a  lass called Carmen Ghettit

my  mum  worked  for  a  family  with  the unfortunate  surname of
Buckenfussier

the  kids  in  the  neighbourhood  would  tear  pass  the  fruit  shop  shout the  name  but  putting  the F where  the B is  and viceversa

and a couple months a go  on Roots  chat  was  doing a  lookup  or a  Cook  in  Sa

and  found  it  as Cock  first  name fanny

now now  now  stop  that gigling

I once met a Richard HEAD, the New Soouth Wales Minister of Racing or something like that. When introduced to him I said G'day Dick, he smiled at me.

I wonder how many families by the name of Head had a Richard in them?     .....dee
