Pretty sure the entire Phoenix family qualifies. Also, anyone with a generic name with a non-generic spelling (Chone Figgins) inspires my mockery.

Chone Figgins' given name is Desmond.... his middle name is DeChone, which is where Chone comes from.

Can't believe I forgot this one:

Two poker dealers I know, brothers, went to see a comedy show. They were sitting up front, and the chick onstage decided it was time to do some improv:

COMEDIAN: You in the white shirt, what's your name?
SNAPPER: Snapper.
COMEDIAN: No, not your nickname, your real first name.
SNAPPER: It's Snapper.
COMEDIAN: No sh*t? Who's that guy next to you?
SNAPPER: My brother.
COMEDIAN: (to brother) What's your name?
HERCULES: Hercules.
COMEDIAN: No, not your nickname, your real name.
HERCULES: Hercules.
COMEDIAN: (pause)...What the [censored] were your parents thinking?

Apple fairy blue feather
Swollow (she married a guy with the last name "Wood")
Eva november tree (eve of november)
