whats in a name

Funny thing happened at work this morning, we have a client that have employed a new manager, (that incidentally I will need to speak to on a daily basis)...... I wrote his name down when I was given it and called this morning....... I spoke to the girl in the office and asked to be transferred through to Mick Hardigan..... at this point listening to myself say this out loud I seriously had a bad case of p.m.s.l...... oh my, I then had a mutlitude of things running through my head like, can I speak to Mick Hardigan, no hes not there ? well can I speak to me jumper...?
At this point the guy picked up the phone, while I was still pmsl and feeling that this giggling fit would not dissappear straight away, I was totally unprofessional and put the phone down... I have now made two further attempts to call him but I seriously have got a case of childish behaviour and cant do it !!

This has then got me think back to a time when in the RAF, and a young girl in the mess (canteen) actually shoulted across the hall and said " has anybody seen Mike Hunt "...
oh she never lived it down, especally as half the mess raised their hands in unison...
There is also a grasstrack motorcyle sidecar pairing that I remember from my younger days..the guy was called Ivor Firman and his racing partner was called Sue Moorecock... being only about 12/13 at the time I found this highly amusing...
A footballer called Fitz Hall (who plays for Wigan Athletic) is know as ' one size '...... think about it !!

Does anyone else have any funny names that they have come across ?

Also does anyone know how I am going to call this guy without laughing ?

I once heard of a Tamara Knight... Said in a Northern Irish accent it is even more hilarious to a 10 year old.

We also had an Amanda Shufflebottom in school - it wasn't that funny, but we still laughed.

hysterical. when i first started working as a dispatcher the officers would try to get me to make an announcement 'mike hunt call your office'....i never fell for it.

i nearly fell off my chair when a dispatcher i didn't like announced it. they also liked Anita Mann. juvenile, but very funny.
