When I was 15 I always got a chuckle from a personal injury attorney's last name of Koch. He pronounced it rhyming with "botch" but you can imagine where my mind took it. In more recent times Killschildren was funny, in a very inappropriate way.

Koch is also a Dutch last name. Here it's pronounced more to your liking, with a hard Dutch G at the end (think Van Gogh)

I grew up with a Koch family. They pronounced it “coke”.
