Also had a Dr. Pepper in IM
Also a peds Dr. Asswad (pronounced ah-swad, but of course my classmate presenting during peds rounds made sure he said Dr. Ass-wad multiple times in the HPI). For some reason I was the only one laughing my ass off. No one else seemed to get it while my face was tomato red and tearing profusely.

I worked with an international resident whose last name actually IS "Butt," which was weird because she's Indian (dots, not feathers), and that seems like a pretty much non-Indian-sounding name.
Before medical school, I worked in market research for a company whose clients were big pharma companies. Our niche was focus groups and interviews with various health professionals, including physicians, so we subscribed to a database service of something like 600,000 US physicians. Since there was a lot of downtime and I'm a huge nerd, I started searching for and compiling funny physician names, hoping that one day, someone on SDN would post such a thread and I could finally use these great names. Here goes.
Stokes Dickins
Harold Cox (too easy, but its there. Hes a family doc from AL)
Ellen Kookier, psychiatrist
Mark Titi (OB/GYN from the bronx)
Richard Dicker, a ped from NJ
lovely political correctness.
bhat or bhatt (and sometimes muslim people use "butt" b/c they don't realize the english meaning of it) is a very indian and pakistani last name. by the way, no "dots" if they're pakistani. 😉

Dr. Goo= Gastroenterologist
Dr. Posthumous, pulmonolgy (should have been path)
Dr. Pepper and Dr. Apgar aren't outrageous. Virginia Apgar, an anesthesiologist, came up with the APGAR score, and Dr. Pepper (the soda) was named after the physician from UVA. Just a little trivia. 😉
Dr. MRSA ( prob. spelled Mirsa)
--internal medicine, I think.

Urology resident back when I was a resident:
Dick Steehle
The head of one of the local ED's- Dr. Leach (To quote him: "Sounds like the bloodsucking parasite, but spelled differently." According to some he has the personality of one too....but I happen to think he's an awesome doc)
One of our general surgeons who takes trauma call: Dr. Slaughter
An FP doc I met: Dr. Dedman

This isn't a funny name, but it was used in a funny way -
I once scrubbed in on a pedi surg case with a mentor, who was collaborating with a neurosurgeon named Dr. Anderson on another case later that day.
My mentor spent the whole time in the OR talking about "Dr. Anderson" in the voice of Agent Smith in The Matrix. I nearly contaminated the field, I was laughing so hard.

Anil Warrier, MD unfortunately not a proctologist.
Not sure if this is an actual physician's name, but I was leaving the parking ramp at the hospital today and saw the following license plate:
TRD MAN
Gastroenterologist?

There is a medicine resident where I go to school named Dr. Tinguely (pronounced tingly). His wife is an OB/GYN resident, but she kept her maiden name professionally.
There's an IM doc in Toledo named Dr. Blood.
My FP when I was a kid was Dr. Hu (who?)
I worked with a Russian postdoc in a lab before med school who's last name was Vagina (pronounced va-GEE-na). They didn't believe me when I handed her passport to the clerk at the social security office. They also didn't believe me when I ordered the nameplate for the lab door. Dr. Vagina was clueless.

I was friends with a girl in undergrad who ended up going to med school on the west coast. She got married to a Mr. Slaughter and became Mrs. Slaughter during med school... will be Dr. Slaughter this June.
Not sure what specialty she ended up going into after all, but fortunately, I don't think it was surgery!
