I don't have a particularly strange name, but there was somebody at work a few years back whose surname was Rabbett.
Of course, his parents called him Peter.

Oooh! I just remembered. I went to college (and still know quite well) a woman called Jacqui who went by the name of Jack.
She married a man with the surname Russell. She only has herself to blame for that one.
