I had a friend back in school whose phone number spelled ORGY-MOB.
And when I was working with my (future) husband at an export job, we figured out that the toll-free number for one of the shipping lines was 1-800-BEEF-CRY.
Edited for bold.

No joke. When I was 6 years old I had a piano teacher named Miss Anus (pronounced Ann-us) Didn't understand why my parents roared with laughter when they found out.

If I were a teacher and my name was Anus, no matter how it was pronouncer, I'd change it! There has got to be something that would be suitable, how about Amos, or Amus. Anything but Anus.
About phone numbers. There is a local company that has never updated their phone number in their advertising. Instead of using (XXX)8987100, they still use TY8-7100. If you live the the right area of the country, you might know this number. The TY is the old phone exchange for the name TY-ler.
When I was young, our home exchange was YU, which stood for YU-kon
