Several things come to mind...

Ben Dover was mentioned. Don't forget his sister, Eileen.

I worked in a discount store when I was younger. We would call the front desk and ask them to page Pete Moss to the garden department. Of course, we'd also ask them to request Peter Gozinya to meet his wife somewhere.

We had two families living in town, right next door to one another and they did in fact, live on a lakefront. Their mailboxes were right next to each other. Their family names were Pond and Lake.

We had a kid living in town where I was a cop. His last name was Anis. And yes, he was an asshole, He eventually changed it to Anisi.

"Shoemaker and Borbe" was the name of an accounting firm in town. I was dating a girl who was not the sharpest tool in the shed. As we drove by their business she saw their sign and said "I know what a shoemaker is, but what does a borbe do?" I told her that after the shoemaker made the shoes, the borbe was the person who put the little eyelets on for the laces. She swallowed it. Really. She was fun.

The Trocadero was a burlesque club in Philly back in the day. I remember one stripper being featured in their ads regularly - Holly Pena, the Mexican Hottie.

When I was a cop there was a NJ State Police Trooper named Copp and the current Philadelphia Police Commissioner is Danielle Outlaw.
