Some of my relatives are and were called Twelvetrees.

 

That reminds me of the 1970s film 'The House in Nightmare Park' where Frankie Howard plays the part of an unsuccessful actor, Foster Twelvetrees, engaged to recite scenes from Charles Dickens' 'Old Curiosity Shop' at a family gathering.

Through my work I once dealt with a Turkish bloke whose surname was Er. The best part is that his first name was Ufuk 😂.

Years back on the buses we had an Indian conductor called Dad. Smashing chap. It used to get me some funny looks when as the driver I called out to him “how many seats left upstairs Dad”.

I know someone with a surname of Cart. He called his son Orson😁

My surname was Greatbatch which I hated then found that my father had been unofficially adopted and been given his father's name so it wasn't my real surname at all.

 

I knew someone from Heeley called Rainbird.
