Have you come across people with odd names within your organisation?

On Wednesday, I had to request a taxi for a "Mr Slinky" (!!), which the taxi operator and I spent a full 5 minutes laughing about!! :-)

In all seriousness there is a guy who works for my company who's name is Mr Randolph Gaye (no relation). Of course no one calls him Randolph. He started on April 2nd as well so I just thought it was the HR dept being dumb....then he actually turned up.

I think I may have said this in another thread at some point, but we have a customer on our system call Urec Unt who always pays his bills on time

One of my favourite people I talk to from work is called Spencer Klingsick. I was also genuinely at school with a lad called Michael Hunt - and as far as I remember no-one did the obvious joke, it wasn't until years later when I saw Porkies that I thought - "hey, why did Mike never get the piss ripped out of him at school"?! He didn't though.

My mate used to have a customer called Robert Sherunkle.

Or 'Bob', as we called him.

Years ago I worked in an office full of men and they always played tricks on me. Anyhow, one day this guy phoned and asked to speak with one of the principals of our company. When I asked what his name was, he said, "Richard at Siemen." He wasn't joking and my giggle was not appreciated.

I bloody did, and that name is the worst to have with that surname.

Im a Holly Hunt, middle initial is A, so all bank statements and things come to 'HA Hunt'
Where as my sister is a katie so its K Hunt.

Ive met a Jo King too....

There's a Jack Hunt school in Peterborough, you have to be ever so careful when talking about them on the radio!
