For me, doing temple sealings has been a treasure trove of lovely names that make me smile. A long time ago, we encountered Happy Crockett Frogett. I love that name.
Last year, we were doing sealings and along came Harry Boob. I kid you not. I'm not sure if anyone else had an insane need to burst out giggling, because I held it together by not meeting their eyes. Come on! The last name is bad enough, but to add the first? Torture.
My boss at BYU was little elven man named Jerry Ferre. The last name does indeed sound like 'fairy'. His parents named most if not all of their kids names that rhymed with fairy. Jerry, Gary, Larry....
Someday I am going to write a story using a name that I saw on a mail box as I drove by one afternoon. Nuttersbee. Mrs. Nuttersbee just sounds like a kind Grandma. I think I might add Mr. Spitznogle because it's just too good of a name to let go to waste.
