Names you just can't keep a straight face to

[Mikeyfell]

I know some.
I've met real people with these names.
Seymour Butts(*Snickers*)
Jack Hoffman (Jack-off Man, second best superhero ever)
JamesCameron NoRelation (Legally changed his name from James Cameron after Avatar came out)
Thick-Tang Poo (It's Korean, And that's Mr. Poo to you.)
Christopher Wang (not that funny but he's in the process of getting his middle name changed to " 's Magic" so his driver's license would say Christopher's Magic Wang)

Ones I know are funny but never met
Mike Hunt
Ben Dover
Erma Gurd

 

[SuperSuperSuperGuy]

It's not an unfortunate name, but I think Paul is very funny.

Also, most stereotypical female black names sound funny to me. Not that they're bad, they just sound funny.

Any of those names that are almost one word, but not quite, or almost another name, but spelled stupidly to make it "unique" are hilarious.

 

[Owen Robertson]

Long, complicated and unique names. Seriously, there's tons of people with those where I'm living. Werid combinations for first names like Nicholionel or some thing. What the hell.

Combination names always made me laugh. Like the mother wanted Karl, and the Father wanted Leonard so Karleonard is what they go with.

But long complicated unique names are my favorites. I feel bad for any kids I may have, because they're getting names like Arcturus and Kaliyah because I'll pay for them to change when they're older.

The one that gets me the most is actually a last name: Krauthammer.

I just keep thinking that there had to be at least one soldier named Krauthammer with the Allies in WWII. It's just such a perfect name in that context. But what if he was stationed in the Pacific? Did he want to be in the European theater so he could live up to his name?

I actually have no idea if the term kraut is considered offensive in this day and age or not, and if so, I do apologize.

LMAO! I'll write his life story right now. 3rd Generation American, grew up in Cincinatti, great-grandparents were Prussian refugees. He feels waging war is revenge. Quentin Tarantino MAKE THIS A MOVIE!

 

[Rule Britannia]

Mitt Romney.

I like to think the full name is Mittens, like a cat. (I know his first name is actually Willard)

 

[Justyn Stahll]

3 Names
Dick
Assenheimer
Fuchtman

And yes these are all real names, the last one is the Mayor of my town.

I had a class with a girl named Crystalice for exactly that reason.

In high school there was a Chinese boy named Peter Pan. I find the last name "Cummings" to always be worth a few giggles.

And lets not forgot the Escapist's own Steve Butts.

The next question is his rank. Private Krauthammer? Corporal? Major Krauthammer?

Marine Gunnery Seargent. Gunny Krauthammer is the title.

I like it. It has possibly as many weapons as can fit into one name.

Stripper names (you know), names that are countries (like India and Lebanon, extra points if there is NO CHANCE the person is from that country), names obviously spelt with an 'i' where a 'y' should be, and I was going to leave it at that but having seen a couple of posts I am reminded of Waluigi and can add Lucious Pusey to my list.

On a side note, not amusing, but nnoying, are names in Maths textbooks and other school-related things, which set out to be so deliberately multicultural that they end up using obscure names even within the culture, and more absurdly, spell common names really stupidly. Like Cait, and Heylehn. I've seen both of those and gone "Why the fuck can they not just say "A cube was built"? I don't care who is building the cube, they're only going to paint all the faces grey and take it apart again. The bastard."

 

[TheRussian]

Faith: Hello, I'm Faith!
Me: Hello, Faith, I'm an atheist.

Yes, as previously stated, Faith is a name I just can't take seriously. Also names that are things, like Hope, Charity, Battery, Thermos, etc..etc..

Full name Volker (which means army) Aelfgar (which means elf spear) Ludovic (which means famed warrior) Krauthammer. Nickname: Hammer, cause he's got a huuuuuge **** lol.

Oh my god yes! I always made that joke and sometimes people thought I was being racist. "I don't care if Raul and Xiao are building a goddamned ladder! Just give me the raw data and a fucking diagram!"

 

[White Lightning]

Topical answer: Warfighter
Pahahahaha.....

That is worst name someone could inflict on their child.

As far as I know there is a pair of idiots that named their son Dovaahkin following TES5 advertisement campaign

at least he got named after something good. still that sucks. Warfighter's still worse though.

Being named Dovahkiin would be BADASS.

Any (don't wanna sound racist but...) names that are usually associated with obese sassy black women. Yolanda, Laquisha, and the like. It's just... why?

 

[SlamDunc]

Guys with girl names always make t hard to keep a straight face. Things like Ashley, Dana, Sydney, Jamie etc.

Edit: Read thread after posting. I am sorry. Dont Hurt me....

 

[Spider RedNight]

Psht, they'd be jumping on the bandwagon of the LAST people who gave that name to their kid.

OT: My brother's name is Talon and while that's not the humorous part, I actually met a GIRL where I used to live who's name was ALSO Talon. It was even worse when I learned that her middle name was River. Hippie names kind of make me smirk on the inside, especially when I had a brother (actually he has a kid friend (boy) who's ALSO also named Talon) who already had that name.

 

[Signa]

Escapist, I am dissapoint. Three pages and no one at least referenced this

OT: The name Sky (I suppose short for Skyler, which doesn't bother me) is hard for me to take serious.

 

[Rascarin]

Not what you asked for but I have to post it. I was researching for school today and found out about a famous scientist called Sir Francis Bacon.

One of my professors was Jonathan Bacon. Bacon is a funny name for people.

But long complicated unique names are my favorites. I feel bad for any kids I may have, because they're getting names like Arcturus and Kaliyah because I'll pay for them to change when they're older.

I don't have as much quarrel with those as the former. But I guess my bias could stem from having a short, one syllable name.
