Do you know of any funny sounding sirnames that make you smile? Do not add your own as you need privacy. Talking in general here.

I'm sure that a few decades ago I once saw the surname 'Tortoiseshell'.

A bit off topic, but my uncle Fred's doctor was one H. Shipman.

There was a local driving instructor with the sirname "Passmore". Was his genuine name.

Probably the best actor name around is Peter Dinklage.

There was also a race car driver named Dick Trickle.
