Jack Crapp perhaps
There is a story about a time he was sharing a room on tour with one of the Bedser twins.

Jack replied, "No, Crapp", only for the receptionist to point him to the gents

There was that Japanese girl at World Juniors a few years ago, Wada. Her bib # just said WADA in big letters. All the Ethiopians were reluctant to come near her but ended up beating her in the end.
About 10 years ago, WVU (my alma mater) had a pair of defensive linemen whose surnames were Dingle and Berry. They always sat next to each other on the bench, so TV cameras would catch "Dingle Berry" on the backs of their uniforms.

I went to high school with a guy named Dixon Hand. He played football. There would be an audible giggle in the stands whenever his name was called by the PA announcer at football games.
I always liked retired Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Bob Walk.
The British actor and game show presenter Bradley Walsh completely lost it over a question about the West German skiier Fanny Chmelar. (The "Ch-" is pronounced "Sh-").
How about marathoner Anuta Catuna
