How about names that make you sing?

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl...
Or Lola, lo, lo, lo, Lola. Now I'm not the world's most passionate guy...

Her name was Talulah...

Lydia, oh Lydia, oh have you met Lydia?...

There's loads more but those are the ones I encounter most frequently. Grin

Dorothygherkins... We had a teacher in our school called Mr Sultana :)

I also like Edwin and Eric.

DH smiles at Monty. :)

How could you take a teacher seriously, if he was called Mr. Sultana! I also knew of a primary teacher called Mrs. Bottoms, I think her class always sniggered when they had to say her name!

We never!! We were always in trouble for being silly! Naturally, at 14 years old the best thing to do was to call him Mr Raisin!!

I still smile at the memories :)

Mrs Bottoms is a superb name! Very apt also for primary school age humour... My DS would think that's HILARIOUS - everyone and everything at the moment is related to bottoms, bums, burps and he would find that hysterical !! :) :)
