I threatened to steal my friends identity to legally change his name to something funny. What name would you use?

The classics:

  • Mike Hawk
  • Mike Hunt
  • Ben Dover
  • Seymour Butts
  • Hugh Jass
  • Wayne King
  • Buster Hyman
  • Drew Peacock
  • Pat McRauch
  • Phil McCracken
  • Jack Mehoff
  • Richard Head
  • Anita Koch
  • Amanda Bone
  • Connie Lingus
  • Jenna Talia

I remember a guy telling me that whenever a new woman started at work they'd phone her up say, "Is Mike there?" She'd say she was new & didn't know. "Oh, ok. Can you just stand up and call out if anyone's seen Mike? Last name Hunt." "Has anyone seen Mike Hunt?" Cue applause from the whole room.

I used to work with a Michael Hunt. Brilliant guy and normally pretty chill, but woe betide anyone shortening it to it's diminutive form. I accidentally called him Mike once and he literally never responded to me again.

Loved the Simpsons with their early running gag of Bart phoning Moe's bar ..

Hello is there an Amanda there?

Uh .... I don't know, let me check.

Yeah the last name is Huggenkis.

OK ..... HEY!!! IS THERE AN AMANDA? .... AN AMANDA HUGGENKIS!!!???

bar full of drunk alcoholics start laughing at him

Maybe your standards are too high!

WAIT A MINUTE!!! .... WHY YOU LITTLE!!!! ... WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU ... I'M GONNA RIP OUT YOUR TONGUE AND USE IT TO PAINT MY BOAT!!!!

Bartender Moe nods and cups his hand over the phone and turns to the bar ...

Dick Cock

Go ahead. Change his destiny.

I went to school with a Dick Willy Alcock (pronounced all cock). He was an angry boy

I wonder whether Richard William Alcock uses internet boards like this.

a little blunt, but there's the classic Boaty McBoatface

Simpsons' writers running out of prank call materials, here to farm

My high school teacher was named Richard Face. That pretty much writes itself.

Or “Ihave Noname” or “Whatis Yourname” would probably cause some confusion.
