My Dad went to school with two brothers called Angus and Peter Ness.

They we're both quite good amateur sportsmen, and whenever they appeared in the paper, or on a trophy or something, their initials were written "A.Ness" and "P.Ness".

Okay, a really weird, yet real name of a woman I know.

I knew a guy in high school who was named Gregory Gregory. We all speculated about why his mom (who was presumably named ________ Gregory) decided to name him Gregory. Most of us concluded that either his parents were fantastically lazy or that they had a cruel sense of humor.

We called him Greggreg.

Haha! Great. Me thinks the paper wrote it that way on purpose...

When I was in the Canadian Forces, we had a guy whose last name was Bombardier. Nothing special there, until you consider he was in the Artillery, and when you're a Corparal, your called "Bombardier" (A Private is called a "Gunner". Other ranks are normal.)
If he had made Corporal, he would have been "Bombardier Bombardier"

He never made it past Private, but even so, it was a bit confusing for the upper ranks at times.

My High School sweetheart's name was Emma Poole. When she told me her first name, the first thing that crossed my mind was "Emma Peel" (Anybody recognize it?)

My son had heart surgery 18 months ago and one of the attending physicians in the CICU was Dr. Doctor.

I went to school with a girl named Cali Forney, worked with a guy named Mike Hunter and served in the Air Force with a guy who's last name was Musselman. . . The TIs always said, "You think you're strong, Airman Muscleman?"

Met a guy named Dougal McDougal too.

My favorite horrible name using Holden was a guy I knew in college named Holden McHack. We generally mispronounced it just a little.

Harry Manchester is my stage name, but you can borrow it.

My Mom came across some "interesting" names when she worked at a hospital. She has come across even more now that she teaches.

One great one was "Female." It was a girl.

I have worked with women called Doris Morris, Mavis Davies and Sheila Wheeler. To be fair though - these were their married names so you can't blame the parents.
