How about:
Bread and Butter?
Gunn and Pistol?
Beard and Barber?
Caulie and Flower?
Girls and Girls?
Bump and Dent?
On a slightly different note:
Between February 15 and April 15, 1931, Judge J.C. Davis of Dillon County, South Carolina married the following couples:
Ransome Blue to Elizabeth Redd
Russian White to Mary Ann Black
Nathaniel Green to Amanda Brown
Solomon Gray to Josephine Orange
Navy Blue to Aurelia Chocolate (Blue-Chocolate.. heh)
Josephus Drab to Blanche Walnut
Willie Lemon to Juanita Tann
And then there are the people whose names change for the delightfully better when they get married:
In 1938, Miss Birdie Snyder married C. Canary and became Birdie Canary.
In 1949, Bob Wager of Saint Augustine, Florida, married Bet Dooley! (she became Bet Wager)
Shirley Kinter married Robert Shirley, in Iowa City, Iowa. (Shirley Shirley)
Miss Birch married Mr. Oaks! The ceremony was performed by the Reverend Maples. The couple left for Hickory, North Carolina, then boarded with Mrs. Forest on Elm Street.
(note: all are from my Ripley's Believe It Or Not! Encyclopedia of the Bizarre)
I wonder.. are name threads allowed here? If so, I've got a bunch in this book.. if not, it's all good.
Edited to add : As for wofa's variants, I used to have a bunch of those, but have now forgotten what they were.
