Anyone have any funny examples?

Like 'Dick Assman', that use to be featured on David Letterman?

Fellow Canadians will remember this one:

In the 1990's, when the Reform Party merged with the Conservative Party, they initially called themselves:  Conservative Reform Alliance Party, or C.R.A.P. for short!   :D  Needless to say, they modified their name very quickly.  ;D

Due to my exquisite immaturity, I am quite fond of the name of Dick Advocaat, a Dutch football coach.

For some equally immature reason, everyone named McPhail seems to make me giggle.

And my friends John and Sally Dover; what the hell were they thinking when they named their first-born son Ben?   ???

He is.  ;D At present coach of the Belgian national team and of AZ Alkmaar, the reigning Dutch champion. What about our former prime minister Wim Kok? (Even a name like Dick Cock is highly plausable).  :o

Cochran is another amusing, common last name (I know a girl with that last name and used to know another one years ago).
Once, during history class, my teacher was doing roll call and went down the list saying last names. The next two to say were "Cochran" and mine ("Cook"). So, he got confused and just said "Cock!" and then a few seconds later said, "Oops... well, I only make 3 mistakes every year, so that's one of them."

Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
and less tiresome in headphone listening.

I knew a girl once named Hope Harvey who married a guy named Bill Hope, so she became Hope Hope.

Shame; she could've made a difference and gone for Hope Square.
