Many couples, when they get married, agree to combine their last names separated by a hyphen. This is the actual business card of somebody I met many years ago. I saved it because the odd last name was not inherited from her ancestors but rather, self-inflicted. I think that makes it OK to laugh at it.

Many years ago there was a guy that played keyboards in the local restaurants and bars named Dick Stretch. They would introduce him as "Here's Dick Stretch on the organ".

In the Harewood Hillclimb program there was a course marshal named as "Sturbate"
Presumably a son of Mr Sturbate.

Do we refer to the son as master?

Hemp Audio was run by a guy named Perry Pecker. I think his dad's name was Richard.
At a local church we had the Rev. Max Johnson. Love that name.

Ok not exactly real, but I remember a SNL sketch set in a plantation house in the American South, presumably at the end of the Civil War. The ladies were all excited about the return of Colonel Angus, though one gentleman allowed as how he never much cared for Colonel Angus, and one woman admitted that although she liked Colonel Angus, sometimes there was such a thing as too much Colonel Angus.

Back in the early 60s one of the ladies who cooked at the company mess hall was named Louise Cucumber. We would laugh at her name, and she would say "You think that's funny, my maiden name was Louise Bigmeat!"
