Before I start the list, let me say that if your name or that of a relative shows up here, I am hoping you will not take offense. Some names just strike me funny, and there is no need to get up-in-arms about it. Some of them have a peculiar rhythm, and that can be amusing. I always imagine these names being pronounced by Barney Fife, and that makes me laugh a whole lot!

Is it Turley Curd or Curley Turd?
I knew a lady named Ona Littlejohn.
Yes! We want more!
Brenda, it was really Turley Curd. I took that name out of a hospital register in VA, a long time ago.
As far as Positive Wasserman Johnson... my late father in law, Bill Avery (founded U of Md Dept Classical Languages) told me that when he taught in rural Louisiana just after WWII, he knew some docs in the Public Health Service. They provided services to a largely illiterate population, and when a mother wondered what to name her child, would helpfully suggest naming him after the famous doctor Positive Wasserman. Mr. Johnson is very likely a result of such medical assistance...
OMG, this list is even better!
My faves... I laughed outloud at Lunda Mungo and Magdelena Babblejack!!
And oh how I wish I knew what the "F" stood for in Cantwell F. Muckenfuss, III. lol

I know Cantwell Muckenfuss III. He is one of the nicest people that I have ever met.
I don't know Cantwell F. Muckenfuss III, but I sang at a funeral and he was a pall bearer. I'm sure he is a wonderful man, but I don't know how long I'll live until I forget the name.
