I have just come across someone who proudly bears the name of Buckmaster de Wolf. It is the awesomest name I have ever heard! Does anyone have any similar awesome names?

I deal with a couple of US attorneys, Blythe Jack and Dick Dickman. I think she is a pirate and he probably hates his parents.

There was a make up artist on The Usual Suspects called Yolanda Squatpump. Her name has totally eclipsed her career - I think there was a FB page dedicated to it at one point.

On my first day in my new job I was asked to make a phone call to a Mr and Mrs Wardrobe. I thought it was some sort of joke on a new colleague for ages and was rolling my eyes and laughing along and saying "yeah right, you're not going to catch me out with that one!". But, no, there really was a Mr and Mrs Wardrobe (in Plymouth, Devon if anybody knows them).
