My dad knows a podiatrist named Dr. Paw. And when I was in primary, we had two missionaries in our branch for a while who were named Joseph Young and Brigham Smith. Or so they claimed, since their first names weren't on their name tags.

My roommate's dad was named Rex Harrison (like the actor how played Professor Higgins). I had an anesthesiologist named Dr. Stitch- he should have been the surgeon, I guess. And my optometrist is named Dr. Bogus. That's a last name that would go poorly with most professions. (For the record, he is a very good optometrist, despite the unfortunate name)
There's a family in my home ward, last name of Abbott, who were going to name their son Peter until they put the two names together and heard what it sounded like.

If we're just discussing unfortunate names at this point, my mother graduated with a girl whose last name was "Zass." First name doesn't really matter.

Yeah, I bet that stank.
