The last name “Bates” is often associated with the famous detective, Sherlock Holmes. The surname references a person who was an attendant to Medieval knights and lords during or after battle.

What about people with the last names of “Dockett,” “Fryer,” and “Smith”? These are all derived from occupations at medieval times such as dock worker, cook, blacksmiths respectively.”

Some other humorous tweets include: ‘I need someone’s help please I don’t know what my first name is,’ tweeted Ellie Macdonald (@EllieMacdonald). In response she received replies like this one by @Maggi_Vonall: ‘It might be Mary.’ – ugh thanks for that.

“I need someone’s help please I don’t know what my first name is,” tweeted Ellie Macdonald (@EllieMacDonald) in a

“Diesel is an awesome name. We had one in my family once, but it was a car not a human.”

“I only know two people with the last names of “Crump” and “Crumbs”. One’s on TV while the other runs Taco Bell.”

“Lawson: The original fast food restaurant? I can’t think of any others offhand! Is there another?”

The best thing about your last name being Bruce is that you have no reason to be afraid of spiders ever again.

”My mum has just upgraded her internet package so she’ll now be able to download all these pictures from when we were at the

Bruce Springsteen concert.”

“I found out that my last name is “Pepper” this morning. Glad I wasn’t already having a bad day!”

Someone asked me for the time and when I told them, they said “thank you, ma’am”. They must have thought my name was Mrs. Pepper.

“My dad had to pay £20 parking today so he gave one of those weird coins with George w all over it as payment.. what’s his last name? lolz.”

‘There are only two people in our family called Smith and they’re not married.’ tweeted Lucy Macdonald (@LucyMacDonald)

‘So my parents are still married, so I’m not a Pepper. But apparently there’s some kind of pepper in me because it turns out I’m Cayenne.’ tweeted Domenica Marchetta (@DMarchetta)

In the UK and Ireland people have to put their name on clothes they’re selling online or else they’ll get fined £500 (and that’s $50).

‘It can’t be hard finding your last name for school assignments,’ someone said when he saw mine. He was right; it wasn’t difficult at all!

Nobody ever wants to share our names with us, we always have to do the asking: “Hi what is your name?”

“I’m Mary, and I am the only one in my family with that last name.” Olivia tweeted.

‘My baby has a hilarious first and middle name,’ someone said to me recently. ‘But his last name is also funny.’ They were right because it was a pun on what he does for work!

A lot of people have been writing about their favorite Victorian era surnames that make them laugh when they read or hear them: Cabbage Patch, Slagmire, Dolly Varden (a type of trout) are all great examples! It doesn’t seem like there’s any rhyme or reason as to why some names are humorous and others aren’t.

Some people think that the names got funnier as time went on, and others suggest it’s because of how English was changing from a Latin-based to an Anglo-Saxon based language.

I never knew what I would find when scrolling through Twitter! It reminded me of all those conversations between friends about their favorite words or last names: “Cakewalk is my name!”

“My dad wanted to give me a unique name,” one person wrote in response.” So he came up with ‘Poppinjay!’ Poppies are so popular right now too!”

One thing is for sure: If you’re looking for laughs, just search VictorianNames on twitter! You won’t regret it!

The last names in the Victorian Era are so different and have a lot of history to them. It’s no wonder that people were making jokes about these names on Twitter because they’re hilarious.

For example, “Poppinjay” is an English word meaning someone who gathers wild birds or other small game for sport. In this case, maybe his dad just wanted him to be unique?

One person said their name was Carrion – which I had never heard before until now but apparently means dead animals left by predators’ feeding areas.. Gross! But hey if you want your own good laugh then go ahead and search #VictorianNames on twitter for more hilarity.

You don’t have to be a Victorian last name expert to enjoy the tweets about them, but you’ll get more out of it if you do some research on your own!

If you’re interested in learning more information about these names for school or just because they fascinate and confuse you then visit this Wikipedia site: [[link]] where there are tons of articles written by experts that detail each one thoroughly so no question goes unanswered.

This is definitely worth checking out, especially if someone has called you an ugly name like “Haggis” which was originally Scottish food made from sheep’s lungs, heart and liver minced with onion boiled in the animal’s stomach lining before being mixed with suet, oatmeal and seasoning.

A lot of the names are just made up words like “Rumple” or came from occupations that have since been phased out such as a “Puppy”. I don’t think any of these accurately describe me but it’s pretty interesting to find out how people got their last name in days past!
