My friend had a doctor called Dr Kilmore A lady from China anglicised her name by calling herself Fanny Kok (she was advised not to)
But the winner by a mile is based around someone called Mike Hunt who for obvious reasons called himself Michael Hunt. However,when referring to him (he was a client) he was always referred to as Mike Hunt. When a client party came around, one lady was worried she would refer to him as 'Mike Hunt' by mistake as it was common office banter. After spending time before the party repeating 'Michael Hunt' in her head, the party started. Sure enough, she had to make an introduction. With great awareness, she said "May I introduce you to Michael C@@t", at which point she flew to the toilets shrieking "oh my God".
As Butt and Fuchs prove, German names can be great for this. Many years ago I was surprised to be on a conference call with a Föcking and a Cuntz (this was the actual spelling, rather than the more usual Kunz). Had to go on mute for five minutes after they introduced themselves.
The name of the youngest and at the time most attractive female teacher on the staff of the boys grammar school I attended was Miss Hares. The then current headmaster was a dozy chump and his reaction to the audible gasp and giggling from the assembly of 500+ teenage boys when he welcomed her on her first day was a sight to see. I am sure she married within a couple of years but have absolutely no recollection of her married name, strange huh? As if her maiden name wasn't sufficiently titillating for hormonal boys she was of course a teacher of french. French lessons from the raven haired, twenty-something beauty Miss Hares was almost too much for some of my peers to handle. For my part I was never so enamoured. As a newb she didn't get to teach us in the top set and my heart belonged forever to her predecessor: a brunette kiwi who left to have a baby but remains one of the single most attractive women I have ever met.
Had my bike stolen from the garden of the house I lived in in Greenwich around 16-17 years ago. Phoned the police and they sent round PC Pigg to take my statement.
