A few years ago, a local footy team in WA rang through their weekend results to the paper, including the best on ground performances. He gave the three names as "Mike, Hunt, Hertz" and the paper printed it.
If I could access photobucket at work, I would gladly post it.

I have always liked the ballsy name given to Adelaide cranio-facial expert, Dr David David.
I have also come across some funny profession-sensitive names such as Dr Butcher, a surgeon, or Dr Rich (really?).
