Hilarious names

My job is pretty boring, but sometimes I get to proofread a resolution honoring someone with a hilarious name. I 've been collecting these names for a while, so I figured I would pass them on to you. Remember, these are all real human names. People actually gave these names to their children. If one of the following people somehow stumbles onto this blog, I'm sorry you have such a hilarious name:
Rocky Rainbolt
Larry Forehand
Matt Engledinger
Will Midgett
Rabbi Lawrence Jackofsky
Ebbie Neptune
Waffus Simmons
Buster Curlee
Wilberine Beans Alexanders
Shams Kazmi
Rockland Owens
Selmore Haines III
Devonne Graghn Foutz
Downy Vickery
Serge Dube
Max Birbraer
Penny Balch
Nugent Starghill
Captain Benny Hienemann
Sid Challapalli
Totun Eurwayo
Pheadra Koonz
Dorcas Claunch
Dorcas Maglott
Cecil Samsill
Canaan Ball and his father, Bobby Ball
Georgia Coonrod
Tapley Strange
Richard Toolate
Metford Mountford
La'Courtney Ratliff
Zealous Trout
Sherri Goree
and, last but not least, Dickie Stoolz

I found a math-guy named Maynard P. Boring the other day. I am not kidding about this. Dr. Boring!

My name is on this list!! But it's spelt wrong. It's actually spelt Totun ERuwayo. My family is from Nigeria, I'm sorry that because I'm foreign my name is hilarious to you.

Totun: Sorry if that's the impression I made. The misspelling on the resolution (if it is you and not someone else with this different spelling) is what made it amusing to me. My co-workers and I, unsure of the pronunciation, pronounced it as Totin' Your Way-O, which is not really that funny, but after several weeks of 12-hour workdays and working on the weekends, seemed much funnier than it was.

I'm on this list. My first name is actually my grandmother's (on my mother's side) maiden name.
