I have an example from my experience.

A few years ago, I worked with a guy whose family owned a string of car washes.

Their surname is Karwashan.

Amelia wrote extensively about how her heart was in the air, in flying. So it's a dandy one.

Jekyll and Hyde was one as Stevenson made some kind of comment about playing "Hyde and seek" with the shadow, or maybe some psychologist said it.

I've always thought Jekyll should be the bad one with a name like that.

Ben Dover is a bad name in prison. Our floor actually gave a guy this nickname. He was not pleased.

Doesn't fit the thread, but the above reminded me of someone I used to work with many years ago.

Guy's name was Richard Everhard. He went by Rich. As I recall, a nice guy, not super smart, but competent.

At some point, he changed his name. To "Everhardt", because that was the problem.

Dick Everhard

Dick is short for Richard. So some people may call him Dick Everhard. This insinuates that he walks around with a constant erection.

You can catch clips of my TedTalk on youtube.
