What is the funniest or most ironic surname you can think of for an army general?

Asked by Ltryptophan (12091points) April 13th, 2020 from iPhone

Many times surnames are appropriate to someone’s profession.

I was thinking of funny names for generals. General Weak. General Short. General Mercy. General Meek.

Are there any generals from history that actually had this problem?
