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 knew a Kilian Von Wolff

I once came across an Ace Ripley.

Humphrey Pomfrey is just epic - that has really made me smile. Rhyming - or near rhyming - names are my all time favourite. There is a shop close to my ILs owned by someone called Norman Borman.

I was once interviewed for a job by a Tremaine Carew Pole.

I also knew a Galahad and a Lancelot.

On an episode of come dine with me there was a guy called Maximilian Wellington Leftwich, I loved it!

I also once had a customer called Mrs Joy Diamond Perfect Grin

I met someone with the surname Scrivens Waghorn once. They definitely should have been a pirate.

I saw something on the TV years ago and the man they were talking to was called Sherman Funk!

When I started high school and we met our form tutor for the 1st time, he asked one of the boys his name and he replied "Sir, William Dickey".

The teacher called him Sir William for the rest of the time he was at school!

flapjacks - I'm loving Rory Lyons!
My friends were married by the Reverend Gordon Bennett.

I have met a Humphrey Pomfrey and it still makes me giggle like a child 20 years on. Grin

This will lower the tone, but in my last workplace there was a chap in the New York office by the name of Gaylord Bumgardner.

I know two Filipina ladies with unusual names: one is called Pancake, the other is called Cheerful.

How could you ever be angry with them?

stumblymonkeyreturns · 24/04/2017 14:13

I now want to change my name to Assumpta Lawless!

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

stumblymonkeyreturns · 24/04/2017 14:09

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 used to go to school with a St John everyone called him Sinny there was a Siegfried[sp] in my sisters class.

MissDallas · 24/04/2017 12:54

There are some fabulous names on this thread!

I remember a girl in the opticians who have her name as Petra Smythe. It was years ago but I thought it was a fabulous name and never forgot it.

There is a boy in DS'a class called Maximilliano.

JuneFromBethesda · 24/04/2017 12:52

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.

SasBel · 24/04/2017 12:52

Watching Once upon a time last night, noticed the fabulously named Brian Wankum produced it!

marybastardpoppins · 24/04/2017 12:51

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

Couldn't be more perfect Grin

I know a divorce solicitor who goes by the name of Miss A. Love.

DrinkReprehensibly · 24/04/2017 12:42

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.
