A friend of a friend on Facebook is named Jesus Santana, which is surely the coolest name ever.

My late uncle was named St John, I was in my late teens before I knew it was an unusual name.

I worked with someone in education called Bridie Sharkey. I've never forgotten it, I thought it was a cool name.

I had a one night 'fling' with a Jesus. He was from South America though and was pronounced Heysus, although he was lovely looking and had the best accent ever. It wasn't sustainable, but age 25 he was God like- the name really suited him.

There is someone coming to give a talk at my work called Dr Ultan Power. Which is a brilliant name. I swing between expecting Austin Powers or maybe his arch enemy Ultimate Power. I'm looking forward to his talk just to see which he is more like (probably neither, probably very normal)

JakeBallard a one night stand with a god-like Jesus? I'm sure there's a joke in there about missing the Second Coming, but alas I have a newborn and therefore am stupid and can't think of the best one!

I know Richard and Rosie Rainbows. Just perfect.

At school we had a Dr De'ath, pronounced dee-ath. Yeah, obviously we didn't pronounce it like that.

I used to get sent emails meant for the person listed above me in the company Outlook address book whose first name was Troy - which is difficult to say without doing a movie trailer voiceover voice

The coolest name I have ever come across is someone I've had brief email contact with at work: Assumpta Lawless. She sounds like a comic book heroine to me. Fabulous.

It's not as good as some here but my friend dated an estate agent called Crawford Moxley which I think sounds like a Bond villain or spy.

He's not actually that interesting in real life.

I also noticed a producer (or some such) on a programme recently called Cat Fox Grin
