We've all seen unusual or funny names in the military. What are some of the more memorable ones you've personally seen? Or are you one of "those people" who has that unusual or funny name?
I'll start off. I knew a guy from the Air Wing on the USS Nimitz circa 2003 whose first name was Mickey and his last name was Mouse. I met him as he was trying to gain access to the pier and I was checking ID's. When I saw his name "Mouse, Mickey" on his ID card of course I thought it was a fake and "detained" him for further questioning. I even checked his driver's license and any other piece of paper he had in his wallet with his name on it.
I also knew another guy on the Nimitz whose last name was Mycock. I remember speaking with him and asking him what types of comebacks he used when people inevitably teased him about his name. He related a story about a Navy Chief who was really making fun of his last name so he responded "Gee Chief, Mycock sure seems to come out of your mouth a lot!"
And go!

At my first command we had a Seaman who made Petty Officer. I remember he was so happy so all the jokes would finally stop. I mean Petty Officer Sample just didn't have the same ring that Seaman Sample had....

PO1 (Join to see), the double entendre...well, it's easy to understand his total happiness when he was promoted!

On my ship, all at the same time. We had a Seaman Wiener, Seaman Kock and a Seaman Dick. Also in boot camp we had a Seaman Hooker.

I don't know that I would necessarily characterize it as funny or unusual, but I once had a young Lance Corporal in my unit by the name of Sargent --- Lance Corporal Sargent.

That's a good one! I once knew a Corporal Seaman. He said he avoided joining the Navy mainly because of his last name!

There appears to be several of that type of name. In Bosnia we had an Army NCO
Rank: Sergeant, Last Name: Commander. When I was asked to link up a Sergeant Commander I thought it was a Joke.
