My father had two doctors (husband and wife) named Doctor known as Mrs. Dr. Doctor and Mr. Dr. Doctor.
I'm sure they must have got fed up with people using doctor doctor jokes...

Not quite in the same vein as this thread but peculiar anyhow, our son's initials are ADH - and yes, he did display characteristics of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity - until it was discovered he had an intolerance to milk, but we'd had two years of absolute hell before that!
Now he's a (fairly) normal 21 year old - but he still down't like milk!

When I was teaching in African schools, the boys there often had heard English words they liked, even if they didn't know what they meant, so as well as several boys called Christmas, and one called Machine (pronounced, of course, Mach-ee-nee), there was also a girl called Vagina Awour ... pronounced Vaj-ee-na ...
