Names? - Are you Jo King?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7909561.stm
Names of people in the UK that you might accidently think they are taking the I.P. Freely out of you.
However as far as I can tell, theres no Ben Dover.
Know anyone who has a comedic name of sorts? I once met a Bruce Wayne and a Peter Parker but thats about it. Never met anyone else with a particularly funny name. Gonna have to use them though when filling in forms that I REALLY don't have to give any details on.

This story is probably apocryphal, but I'll tell it as my friend told me.
So my friend's mom is a nurse and midwife at our local hospital, North Oaks. One day, a woman that my friend only told me was named "Mrs. King" came in, going into labor. The ugly details left out, she has the baby successfully.
When it comes time to name the child, Mrs. King realizes that she never settled on a name. She looks up and the first thing she sees is the No Smoking sign above the door of the room. So, she named him No-Smo. No-Smo King.

My dad worked with a man named Ozzie Beeberdorf. Not a "punny" name, but an interesting-sounding one.

My father used to work at Michelin, and a pair of his co-workers were considering naming their daughter Michelle Lynn. They eventually settled on Amanda Lynn instead.

I have a friend named Will Johnson. I know, I must be a four-year-old, but I think it's funny. Sometimes I just think Willie Johnson and chuckle. I could tell a story he wrote about it for our creative non-fiction workshop, but that stuff isn't supposed to leave the classroom. Suffices to say he's got a great sense of humour about it.

I worked in the Freshman Orientation office in college. I was inputting names into the computer system one day and came across Luke Sky Walker. No kidding.
I knew a Summer Dawn Lane in HS. Most unusual name that I liked: Amber MorningSong Ireland. I had a professor in college whose name was Charles Darwin Morgan. Unfortunately he took after his namesake... it was a survival of the fittest class, no doubt. I work with a Robert Raymond Robb, Jr. (Rob Robb, or R-cubed... but seriously, he's a Junior. You'd think his dad would have learned...)
And the best one thus far... there's a guy at work who's first name is Mister... his Middle name is T. And he's white.
