Sukhwinder
The name of a taxi driver I once had in NYC.
Seriously.
There was also one named
Balwinder
Sure I am being un pc, but just makes me laugh saying them.
Makes me think we could start a new thread of funniest real names.
And what about the lovely sounding
Diarrhea
Has a flow to it.

With an i, I think.
+1 for mellifluous, which is how I think of my favorite fishing rivers sounding.
In the realm of dirty words I think "cornhole" is hard to top. It's making me laugh even now.
