I used to introduce the cabin crew as Lola, Emanuelle and Fifi. Most of the male attendants didn't mind.
My most embarrassing anouncement was many years ago when I was quite new. The captain who was a great joker looked at me as I began. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your first officer speaking and I would also like to welcome......." and at that point I collapsed in fits of laughter.
I looked at the captain. Nothing.
So I began again.
Didn't get any further.
So I began again. Didn't even get as far third time.
So I tried again. This time I started to lose it already at 'gentlemen'.
When the stewardess popped her head into the the cockpit all she saw was me a gibbering wreck, tears of laughter in my eyes and clutching my aching stomach and the captain, sitting motionless, staring at me, totally blank faced.
He didn't have to do or say anything. Just the waiting for him to do something, anything, to put me off, cracked me up completely.
