Funny Fake Names You've Heard
Ok, so let's be immature here...When I was in the 8th grade, the boy I had a huge crush on wrote "Max E. Pad" on the name space on his book cover. I thought that this was the most brilliant play on words ever!
I'm also fond of Anita Bath and Amanda Huggenkiss.

Buddy of my brother actually signed up for a new phone and gave this name, which they dutifully put in the phone book.

Robeiae. It's just so freaking annoying to spell. Oh, you said funny. I thought you said irritating.

Hey! Leave Dick Trickle out of this. He was a good old boy from my home state.

A kid in my school was called Wayne King and his father's name was Joe.
I taught the youngest of three brothers whose name was Eddie. No problem but his brothers were John and Ken. Still no problem? John, Ken, Eddie. Say it fast. And this time I'm actually serious Os.

It would be funnier if they had sisters named Did, Mary, and Lynn.

Many moons ago, back in the 70's or 80's, I think, National Lampoon had an issue that was a spoof on a high school yearbook. They had fake play-on-word names throughout, if I remember correctly. I don't have the time to search for it this afternoon (I have to teach). Anyone?
