anyhoo.....

Clement .....as in Atlee. Imagine being named after nice weather. And i expect the Turkish soldiers at Gallipoli found his rifle rather inclement ? Imagine if he had a fruity twin sister ?

and

Heironymous.....as in Bosch. Not too many of them standing in front of you at the queue in Barclays Croydon. "and how do you spell that sir"

Engelbert, as in Humperdinck.

the US secretary of State, who prosecuted the Vietnam War : Robert STRANGE McNamara

Please take this opportunity to be as racist as you like, i dont give a shyte. And to get that ball rolling......

Sorcha......an irish girls name. Fairly innocent , you might say. Except that in Italian it means something halfway between a Witch and a Hooeer. Or it may refer to a part of the female anatomy that is best unmentioned.

Engelbert Humperdinck is a stage name. His real name is Arnold George Dorsey. The original Mr Humperdinck was a German composer.

Scottish people often give their children their mother's maiden name as their second name. Seeing how that US bloke's missus maiden name was Strong, it is highly likely there was at least some Sweaty in their background.

Some years ago, I and my daughter travelled to Little Rock in Arkansas to meet some friends. Our flight from Gatwick landed at Atlanta. That airport is simply mahoosive, and we were unsure which gate and terminal left from for our onward flight to Little Rock. We wandered up to a Delta Airlines helpdesk, and we had great trouble keeping straight faces as the nameplate on the geezer behind the desk said he was "John Thomas".

Not sure if this was true or just a tall tale, but a colleague in the Army who's surname was "Jones", told me his brother's initials was "C. O." When the brother travelled to Spain, the locals roared when they saw the name tags on his luggage, which wrote "Cojones", a naughty name over there

When I was on a payroll, I regularly had contact with a South Asian guy with the name of Jayant.
Quite cool to have a name that was pronounced Giant.

Until you learned his surname. Pimple.
I never did feel comfortable asking for him at reception.

Half a century ago, I met a guy who lived in Headley.
I kid you not, he was Headley Headley-Saunders of Headley Court, Headley.

An old school teacher was Miss Wilby. On return from her honeymoon she was rather cruelly known as Mrs Hasbeen!
