Unfortunate names!

[MIScott87]

From the world of politics to other worlds, what are some of the funniest names you've ever herd?

Oh, and be careful not to make this a sex thread! (I know, that probably sucks half the fun out of everything)

So...

Don't say the name of the Michigan Attorney General too fast; it's almost as bad as the Aiken County, SC, Sheriff.

Of course, we here in Michigan almost had a governor named... :D

8. I got my first job at the UK Passport Office

and there were just too many people born in the '50s with the name "John Thomas".

On a side note, the weirdest street name I came across in a passport application was "Scum Road" and in another application the funniest suburb was a place called "Swallow Wood". True story.
