Funny German names

[jordigo 15]

[michnic 11]

not as funny, but there's a guy in my class named Bodo. I have trouble saying it.

The girl who used to share my office has someone on her project called Schittekatter and there is also a woman who works here with the fine forename of COCKY.

Do I win?

PS Both of these people are Dutch though.

We used to have a customer called Herr Brunch who shared an office with a Frau Pfannkuchen... !

When I went to the police station about my stolen mobile phone, the woman who dealt with it was Frau Hamster.

The Obi in Martinsried has a Herr Killer, or at least used to about two years ago.

 

He said it was a Bavarian name, but didn't know anything deep about its roots.

I work with someone called A. Killer. She's nice though (but the nice ones are always the worst!).

My last dentist was called Dr Fuchs and there were no dots above the "U"!

[Paul 10]

My German teacher was Frau Bonk.

 

Everytime it used to make me grin... Every damn time...

Who's quoted on the front page of this weekend's Abendzeitung? None other than Mr. Lutz Cuntzsch, jury member in the Gesellschaft für deutsche Sprache (GfdS) "word of the year" contest...

One of my favourites was a guy I used to know here in Munich with the enviable surname of Bumgartner.

I know a guy called Fuckner. Its not too bad in German, but I've actually heard him introduce himself in English and said it exactly the way you wouldn't. He's often known as Fucki (pronounced kinda like fookey)

 

I'm guessing he's already done this to death, but Jamal may like to know that Schleswig-Holstein also has a Wankendorf - now thats a village where nobody shakes hands.

Not German, but in Munich:

 

New Japanese restaurant on Georgenstrasse in Schwabing is called:

Fuku

[Malcolm Spudbury 3,453]

On an email mailing list that I was once a member of, there was a german guy whose surname was "Wanker".

[Keydeck 9,248]

To that I can add a bodypainter mate of mine, "A. Wanke".

[Malcolm Spudbury 3,453]

There's a breakdown recovery service somewhere in or around Munich called Wankmüller. I see their trucks every so often and it always makes me snigger.
