Funny names?

• intergalplan 6y ago
  Make friends with anyone who deals with lots and lots of people across socio-economic status boundaries—teachers, social workers, anyone in government who deals with the public on a regular basis—and they can tell you what that means. You'll think they made some of them up, but they didn't. And that's without going international.

    I worked in a call centre for telcos and Apple doing tech support. We didn’t have lists but funny names and stupid customers were frequent topics of discussion

  It's not totally unusual to run into names like 'Suk Wang' if you're dealing in Asia. God knows what my name means somewhere else.

  I used to work in a horrible outbound call centre a very long time ago and kept my own list. It cheered me up in an otherwise soul destroying job that had the most awful manager I've ever experienced in my life. The list itself is lost to the sands of time but I remember at least three: Mr and Mrs Hunnybun (yes, that was the spelling), Miss Cumcup, Dr Strangleman so I guess it was something like that.
