Dr. Harry Beaver OBGYN has retired. My wife actually ran across his malpractice file while temping for Aetna some year's back, and my best friend went to elementary school with his daugher, Elizabeth.
My Aunt also had a Shithead (Shih theed) in her class.
The head of the Anthro Department at UVa my freshman year was Richard Handler. Went by Dick.
Also in Charlottesville was a purveyor and manager of substandard housing called the DeButts Land Management Corp. Owner? Richard DeButts.
Back in 1997 I was sorting resumes while listening to NPR news. A story about Viagra came up just as I pulled out a resume for a fellow named Peter Steel.
Work with a girl named Tippy Rodbumrung. When she was first hired, my office mate and I would occasionally pronounce her name a la Beavis. We also have a Wing Wang on staff, as well as a Yuk Sing (never taking him to kareoke.)
While I was working in retail, I took credit cards from folks surnamed Felch and Felcher (at different times.)
One of the greatest monsters of the 20th century began life with the name Adolph Schickelgruber. Imagine if you will how much different life might have been if his uncle Alois Hitler hadn't adopted him.
