Funniest last names you've encountered?
 
What are the funniest last names that you've encountered personally.

At my high school, one of the kids in my year had the last name Kilkenny. He always got South Park jokes thrown at him, but he didn't mind. The guy with the last name played along with it and actually dressed up as Kenny on Halloween one year.

Another guy at my school had the last name Coco. He was a grade above me.

I also knew someone with the last name Piggs. I kid you not.

My dad used to work with a woman whose maiden name was Mangina. Apparently it's an Italian surname.

I always found Fitzwilliam to be a hilarious name. No offense to anybody who has it! It's just... So cuteweird.

I remember getting an email at work about someone with the name Boocock. Had a bit of a giggle at that.

There's a guy who plays football for Leicester City named Danny Drinkwater. And of course when a photo was taken during a match of him drinking water, everyone did the obvious joke "Drinkwater drinking water"


And there's a Brazilian former football player (now a coach) named Argélico Fucks. Which prompted a hilarious Eurosport news title when he went to play for Benfica:


Can't remember many more from the top of my head but I'll post them if I remember/find more.

one of my friends growing up had the last name Iacobelli. Pronounced yak-o-belly. We never got over that.

Apparently Fitz was an old term for illegitimate son of... So interesting stuff.
I knew a Drinkwater (from above) as well as a Rump.

aurevesque March 26th, 2016 4:31 PM

Quattlebaum! I knew somebody with that fantastic name.

In my high school there was actually a girl who had that very surname. She was like 5 grades below me if I remember.

ShoeMaker

Cocsok (He had to change his last name to something else when he moved to my school)

Duck

Wiley (Like Dr. Wily from Mega Man. Or that's how it sounded like.)

Chin (7 BILLION UGLY REDS)

Bruce Lee (Was actually his full name. Didn't even know that was legal to name your son Bruce Lee)

Ketchum (Not sure if a name change or if that is an actual last name.)


And can we talk about first names a bit? A while back when I was 9 years old still living in Las Vegas, there was a japanese student in my school named "Ryu". I haven't really thought of it much but nowadays I can't stop thinking about a certain fighting game character when I get reminded of him. What's worse is that there was a guy named Ken in our school and they, both Ryu and Ken went face to face in a spelling bee. Not sure who the round though.

The Philippines is chockful of last names that you may ask yourself "Who the f comes up with this stuff!"

"Balut" - yes there are actual people who have the surname that sounds like a fear factor delicacy for most people, or in our case the common street food.

"Buco" - I'm pretty sure whoever had this as a surname sure did his/her best to not go coconuts on the people who never took them seriously.

"Mahusay" - its actually pretty funny to have a surname that is the Filipino word for "Excellent". I guess excellence should run with whoever has this surname.

"Lubrica" - well i know what that surname is good for, and it doesn't involve NSFW stuff that's for sure.

"Fenis" - well at least a "Lubrica" has a decent partner now. Oh and someone had "Naid" as the first name along with this excellent surname. I'll leave that to your imagination dragons.

The bad part is that whoever had these surnames sure had a very hard time in school. which is a very common practice for students to address each other, especially when they are not very close. Even in college people still go by calling each other surnames instead of that beloved first name.

Hahaha, I laughed at that for about 5 minutes! Something about his expression makes it even better.

There's an aquaintance of mine with the surname Toogood. Most people I know have normal names.

A girl who last name is Kiewcien sounds so much like kitchen. I just call her kitchen. im like " Kitchen get here " o.O. You probably think im so werid.
I found the last name " Semwanga" strange.

Jessie March 27th, 2016 12:01 PM

La-ka.

Pronounced: "Lah Dash Kah"

Only in the south.

Aisu March 27th, 2016 3:00 PM

Roach, Slaughter, and Duffus, which was funny because it was pronounced duck-fus and we used to call him "Duckface."

Kanzler March 27th, 2016 3:27 PM

Eater.

There was a girl in Navy cadets whose last name was Eater. The first rank in the Canadian Navy is Seaman.

She was known as Seaman Eater.

Tsutarja March 27th, 2016 3:42 PM

I see it was already mentioned, but Fucks is definitely the funniest one I've seen xD

Margot March 27th, 2016 4:52 PM

A teacher of mine in middle school had the last name Bacon and she happened to be Canadian. Sooo, literally everyone called her "Canadian Bacon".

I know I've seen some unfortunate ones but I can't think of them arrgghh.

Poonawalla.

A name my friend was ashamed to have, lol. A very legitimate Indian last name, supposedly. That would be fine and all, except his last name wasn't originally Poonawalla. Supposedly, his dad picked a new last name when they immigrated. Anyways, my friend got teased for it all the time, the point where he just started using Prince to substitute for his surname. That amounted to nothing, because everyone just proceeded to call him 'Prince Poonawalla'.

starseed galaxy auticorn March 28th, 2016 8:17 AM

My own. No, seriously... I won't say my own last name, but it is a pretty funny one though. I've gotten made fun of a few times because of it as well. :c
