Not just the name but at school we had an English teacher who was called Andrew Dick. This was funny enough but the poor bloke got promoted to being in charge of the whole English department. His office door had the sign on it "A. Dick - Head of English" It was white lettering on a black sign. They had to change it after it was defaced repeatedly with a black marker so only the "A Dick Head" was visible. All the doors got new signs but with creative use of masking tape it still was made to read "A Dick Head" In the end I think they just changed it to "Head of English"

I met a Randy Wisdom recently. Also a kid with the double barrelled name Lawless-Thane. He had eyeliner on and clearly was very pleased with the name.

I had a teacher called Mrs Concannon-Arblaster. That was quite brutal in a school setting. Worked with a guy called Dickon Berryman, which sounded like a euphemism to me.

Once I was in the bank and a kid was misbehaving. The, shall we say “common” mother then shouted BECKHAM WILL YOU PACK IT IN. That’s obviously a candidate for worst.
