Titania, you can't start a thread like that without telling us what it is, or else what's the point?

My maiden name was Blower. I bet you can make up half of the jokes yourself, particularly as I played the clarinet.

I knew a girl at university who's surname was Dyke . I really love my surname so I didn't change it when I got married (actually I think I was just too lazy to sort out all the paperwork).

Mine isn't stupid. It is a perfectly common surname - but it is a pain when chooisng names. Can't have namkes like Jack or Joe, as they dsounf daft.

My maiden name was Veall - which always seemed daft because I was veggie.
