Getting back on the original tack how about these:

Northrop X-55 Ascender which was a jibe on the fact it had the prop at the back (Ass Ender).

Sopwith Dolphin which was not a seaplane!

Sopwith Cuckoo which I suppose threw all the other aeroplanes out of the hangar?

Hawker Hedgehog - a ground attack aircraft maybe?

Hawker Humpback - had a whale of a time

Fairey Ferret - a partner to the Hawker Hedgehog?

B.A.T. Baboon - words fail me.......
