If Fanny Clapp married Eric Hiscock....

We not infrequently come across some unintentionally hilarious names in the course of our work here at the Institute.  None of them is as notable as the [in]famous Dr Taco BM Monster, perhaps, but they merited some minor sniggering.  I'll leave out the names of patrons for discretion's sake, but here are some of our favourite author and editor names presented for your enjoyment.

Mack A. Player

Fanny Clapp

Edwin G. Boring

Yu. P. Raizer  (I don't, but it sounds painful!)

A. Dyck

C.A.R. Hoare

Daniel Pedoe

Eric C. Hiscock

Poopa Dweck

B.A. Fuchs

International Money and Financeby Ronald McDonald  (that explains a lot about the economy)

I'm sorry, authors.  It's jejune.  You have possibly suffered much for your names in the past, but I hope you will not be so bitter as to deny the small, if puerile, joy that your names give me and my fellow scholars here at the Institute.
