karalime where did you go to school? Cantalot High?

I can offer Reuben Neptune - brilliant name, sadly wasted on the thieving scumbag who broke in to my house and nicked my ipad and £80 cash.

There was a girl at my secondary school called Astra Dolphin
What a great name, made me think of a cartoon dolphin!

@MrsMeeseeks I was coming here to say I worked with a lady called Josie Kiss I wonder if they are related? Smile

I loved her name.

Used to have a lab technician in uni called Gabriella Lovelace. And she had a Bond baddie Eastern European accent.

There's a woman in the news at the moment called Zipporah Lisle Mainwaring. That's a cool name. She's in the news for painting the outside of her house in red and white stripes - I think it looks fun.

Sorry if she's been mentioned before, I haven't had time to rtft Blush

Through work Joyce Joyce, a family of lovegun's, Mary Christmas? Several Mr Mann's and various other amusing names.
There is an American racing driver called Will Power Grin

I obviously went to a really boring school, everyone was called John, Paul, Sean, Liam, Clare, Lisa. But it was Catholic school in Glasgow in the 90s.

I work at a university and some of the students' names are incredible. We have a Tigerlily Graham and a girl whose first name is Estelle but her middle name is Glasgow. We get lots of Chinese students here for English courses and most choose perfectly normal English names or stick with their Chinese names but every year there are girls called Ice or Icy. No idea why.

I know a great kid called Lotta Fanny. Not in uk.

RubySparks · 24/04/2017 19:31

I worked with Mr Tickell

karalime · 24/04/2017 19:27

At various points I went to school with Red Diamond, Scarlett Snow and Midnight Sparkle.

When my Mum first started work in the early 60's she was in the typing pool and had to type letters to a gentleman in France called Mr Dickshit.

Apparently it was pronounced Dee - shy!

One of our dinner ladies at school had the surname Mann, so she was Mrs Mann - which amused us enormously as children.

I had a boy called Lyndon Henstridge in my class at school.

And I once got an estimate from a builder who's surname was Guttering, which prompted me to say in panic (when I saw his business card) 'do you do all building work or just guttering ?'

DontFuckingSayIt · 24/04/2017 19:20

I see a great deal of names at work and there are some corkers, in even my fairly small and normal town.

Giggorata · 24/04/2017 19:16

There's a fire officer called Tyson Truelove and DH had a friend called Runagullion Rattray (I don't know how to spell the first name, as it is Gaelic, but that's how it was pronounced)

greeeen · 24/04/2017 19:16

A welsh lady called Wolf Blaidd. I always think of it as Wolf Blade even though that's not the correct pronunciation.

AgathaMystery · 24/04/2017 19:12

I went to primary school with an Ishbin Derik Ishbraduch.

onlyslightlyinterested · 24/04/2017 19:10

I know a chap called Maurice Bytheway

Chottie If you're referring to the same person Rip Torn is a bit more than just a stunt man he's a Billboard Hollywood actor and it's not his real name.

wildbhoysmama · 24/04/2017 19:03

I used to teach 2 boys, they were best friends and sat together - Richard Satti and Edward Rice. DS's best friend wants to be a doctor, if so he will be Dr Payne!

Gatekeeper · 24/04/2017 18:56

My dad worked with a women called Ophelia Bott and Rose Chicken

leccybill · 24/04/2017 18:54

I sent an ebay parcel recently to a Snowdon Bearley.

I had a date once with a Ludovic LeBlanc.

Humphrey Pomfrey is still my favourite of the thread though!

StrawbRhi · 24/04/2017 18:53

I once worked with a Aurora Oceana! I thought it was a fairy princess name and absolutely loved it. Judging by the irritation she displayed when asked about her unusual name, I doubt it was chosen by herself though.

MOIST · 24/04/2017 18:52

I've recent;y come across a Dr Kill. Which would be terrible if she wasn't really engaging and fabulous.
