There's some classics there! 
Some parents either think it's clever or just don't think - at least a girl can normally get rid by marrying - a bit drastic, but someone I know took great pleasure in naming his son Andrew, his surname.......Lemon!
Also worked with a girl who was Angela & her brother was Anthony and the surname Pratt.
The worst I have had to deal with though was a customer called Mr Iwanko!

A mate of mine was going to call his first daughter Amber Rose until I pointed out to him that her nickname would immediately and for evermore be Custard.
He never forgave for that. She's called Eleanor

Carrie Oakey is brilliant, probably named before it was even a thing here.
You can tell that when the BBC contacted Stan Still, he wasn't finding it that funny but then again, 71 years of it, I can understand why!

When I was at uni they would pass a piece of paper round during lectures for everyone to put their name on. People would always add daft names like Mickey Mouse, Clint Eastwood & Mike Hunt etc.
There was one lad in my group who's name was William Wallace. Took the lecturers 6 months before they realised he was a actual person attending the course.

one of our lecturers at college was called Mo Toole, which isnt that funny until you hear it being shouted through the college PA system as "Mr No Toole, telephone call. No Toole Telephone call"
Lets just say he want balistic!

My woodwork teacher at senior school was called Paul Maycock.......
Went to a job at work the other week and some chavvy girl had named her two sons De-shaun and De-troit.
One of the best at work was a girl who called her son Tyger....actually spelt like that but still prounounced Tiger. Classy
