Ouch. No kidding. Among the names I've come across - Tom Shitts (someone at a company I worked for), and a co-worker knew a W.B. Darling. His parents couldn't think of a name, and named him Welcome Baby Darling.

I went to school with a girl called Therese Green and another with the surname Hoare but suffered with the phoenitic sound...
I know of two women with unusual "linked" names - one lady's birth surname was Sparrow, she married someone called Starling and when I lost contact she was about to marry into the name Hawk; more recently i was told of a Bird marrying a Parrot...
I knew an Australian couple (married) called Bruce and Sheila (honest to God) who (back in the '70s) had not heard of Monty Python...
I also knew a Gordon (who was a moron) who was going out with a Julie and for a few years lived next to a Wayne and Tracy (UK 80's humour).
I'm married to a Jackie who has a name synonymous with F1... luckily never pulled over for speeding...
I know a William Wallace who was pulled over one night and his girlfriend was Elizabeth Taylor - they were taken to a police station until their identities could be verified...
Oh yeah, and a Miss P Green...

There's some pretty good Scottish slang Stu could come out with too... ;)

Well, now, if we're talking about towns, there are two small towns in northern Iowa off I-35, Manly and Fertile, home of the (probably apocryphal) wedding announcement, "Manly Man Marries Fertile Woman." They probably headed to Climax for their honeymoon.
