Embarrassing Names

1 - Mike Hunt
Imagine how embarrassing to be paged by the PA system at any airport.
Also, there is a domain _http://mikehunt.com

2 - Alan Bates
When young Bates used to be addressed by his teachers as
Master Bates.

See if you can add few more names.

In the Czech Republic, every surname has a masculine version and a feminine version so the wife of Mr Pavel is Mrs Pavlova. For foreign surnames you just add -ova to the man's name. You can have a bit of fun with this rule: if Mr Legg marries a Czech bride, she will become Mrs Leggova on her Czech passport; Mr Roll would be married to Mrs Rollova, etc...
