I guess this is not going to be too amusing for all the Dicks, Kuntzs, and Hookers out there but for the rest of us, well…

We all know how sticks and stones may hurt bones, but some names can be mildly amusing–especially if there is something childishly funny about them. You know the kind of thing, old favorites like “Mike Hunt” or “Mike Hock” or even “Amanda Gobble.” Now, these names are quite amusing on their own but what about those individuals whose surnames when placed together create an unfortunate double or even single entendre like this fine bunch of happy couples, to whom I wish all happiness.

At first, I first thought some of these must be photoshopped but after checking up on a few of them via newspaper wedding banns it turns out they’re (let’s say mostly) legit. Authors often claim they spend hours searching for suitable and unusual names for characters–who knew they had to look no further than the social pages of the local paper?
