I feel a little sorry for all those guys with the not that uncommon English surname of Layden/Laydon who were given the rather common boy's name Ben. It seems that the Ben Laydons of these world are really getting sick of all the jokes people have been making about their names since 2001.

I knew someone once called Aaron Winterbottom.
Back in '98, my two friends and I were extremely drunk on crappy white wine in a "space bag"(box wine sans box, "shitfaced in space!!!"), and were calling random people in the telephone book. By some "miracle", I found the perfect person......"Harry Mandick. HARRY FUCKING MANDICK! Best crank call EVER. I also knew an asshole in Catholic School named John Featherstone. I used to combine other equally opposite things to make a new name for him..... "Jellohammer", "Lintrock", "Silkanvil"........
got a friend called Alan Richard sole gets one hell of a ribbing when we see a few forms he has to fill in using his intials and surname A.R Sole
That just gave me a Larry David flashback, "It'd be like if my name was Jew."
I always thought it was odd back in my hometown where the shop seemed to have dropped the 'S' calling itself 'Cumming for Men'. As far as I'm aware, the sign never changed.
I was working recently as a CCTV op before I went back to freelancing, which involved a bit of admin. One of the clients came to the office for a parking pass. We got a slight giggle when he told us his name was Vanni. The immaturity level fell to a new low when we asked for his full name and he said Harry Vanni.
He didn't find it as funny as we did and stated parking across the street.
Gah. I blame it on being stuck surfing the web on an ipod. It makes things ever so hard.
Douche or Deusch or something similar.
We have a brand of cheese called Coon Cheese named after a Mr Edward Coon.
When taking a photo Australians often say "Say Coon".
An anti-racist campaigner is trying to get the name of the cheese changed because he reckons it is a racist name.
did he have a relative named mike hunt?
theres a korean church in my neighborhood where the minister would post sayings on the sign outside . every year around easter he would post this one. " ye are blessed when the lord comes on you". after about three years he stopped posting it. i guess someone told him it had a double meaning.
Have met a Butts. There's a well known artist with the last name Sprick. Just put any first name in front of it and say it.
I've known a Dawn Key. I once had a classmate whose name was Long Dong.
One name that would be bad is Love. Could you imagine- "Why yes, I am Mr. Love." Sounds like some sort of cheap come on.

My mother worked for a Dr. Love. He was a dentist and a complete ass.
