What’s in a name? William Shakespeare asked this question in Romeo and Juliet all the way back in 1597. But in fact, the idea of names and their significance has always existed among humans. In his immortal tragedy, Shakespeare continues to say that names don’t really matter; you may call someone whatever you want, but it won’t change their essence. However, many cultures and traditions will disagree with the great English bard.
Many ancient societies took naming newborns very seriously. It was believed that the name a child received at birth would define their character traits or even their entire life. Giving them funny names or unusual names wasn’t even an option. These days, some parents are a bit more relaxed and sometimes give their children not the common names everyone is used to but names that sound like something else.
There is a whole science called onomatology that studies the history of names, where they come from, how they developed with time, and how they can be used. Even though names are pretty special compared to other words, they are words too, which means we can play with them and make name puns. Just remember when you’re making jokes on names to be kind and not hurt other people’s feelings.
For this article, we have collected some name jokes. Most of them are based on word puns, and although some may fall into the ‘dad jokes’ category, they’ll surely bring a smile to your face. Find your name on the list, and if you happen to know a good name pun, make sure you let us know in the comments below.

Why do hurricanes get such boring names, like Sandy?
Name that thing Hurricane Death Megatron 900 and I guarantee people will be evacuating like rats.

They name them in alphabetical order, starting with an “A” name at the first of a season. If a hurricane is very destructive it is retired and not used again. It is not long since all tha names were women’s names.
