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 used to work for Dr Valentine and Dr Money.

Oh TheRoses, no nothing to do with me but glad to hear there's a real person with the name, especially a Doctor.

I chose the name because when I read Carrie's War as a child I always thought it would be a great name to have.

GivenupontheGarden · 26/04/2017 08:44

Coolest name?

"Isambard Kingdom Brunel". If that isn't cool, then I don't know what is.

OhTheRoses · 26/04/2017 08:40

Ha ha, you've reminded me MrsGotobed, I know a Dr Gotobed. Is he yours?

MrsGotobed · 26/04/2017 08:38

Surely his parents must have realised?

We had someone at work with the first name of Babyshark (surname was fairly normal but can't remember it)

My dentist as a child was Mr Mercy
My Doctor is Dr Watson
My small daughter has an incredibly gorgeous little friend called Valentine - poor lad will probably grow up to be a munter but at present he's all big eyes, long lashes and all the mums fuss him Grin

KimJongCunt · 25/04/2017 23:54

I know a Jacinta Barnes-Jones.

I think it sounds undeniably glamorous.

Bloodybridget · 25/04/2017 23:49

A distant ancestor of mine was Neptune Blood.

Fozzleyplum · 25/04/2017 23:40

Has anyone mentioned brothers Rupert and Edward Bear, who had a solicitors' practice in Nottingham?

HectorPlasm · 25/04/2017 23:22

of, not on!

HectorPlasm · 25/04/2017 23:22

Oh and I went to school with a family on Conway-Crapps - I suspect they didn't end up working for the Welsh Tourist Board

HectorPlasm · 25/04/2017 23:19

My great great aunt - born on a ship going to Canada so was christened Nova Scotia

Wayne Ankers - well known in Manchester business circles

Squeakymoo · 25/04/2017 22:52

went to school with Dawn Frost
what about Axl Sparks, Regina Boyle or Micheal Hunt (Mike Hunt)

hippadoppaloppagorillapig · 25/04/2017 22:49

We used to get letters in an old job from a Fitzroy Pencil. When I moved to a new job, he was one of our customers!

Also Howlingmad Wolfman (but this must have been a deedpoll job)

Went to school with a girl called Inda Bath

SirSidneyRuffDiamond · 25/04/2017 22:16

I've met a naval officer whose surname is Ripping-Gale. I've often pondered whether his surname suggested his career to him?

MrsBobtonTrent · 25/04/2017 21:57

And we always watched the credits after Buddy so we could cheer for Thomas Wanker.

One summer, dh and rented 2 cottages in France, one off Daffodil Marriage and the other off Bunty Cox.
I know teachers called Mr Snowball, Mr Wiggle and Mr Windybanks.
I once marked Colin Collins' exam paper.

MrsBobtonTrent · 25/04/2017 21:55

Used to work for a chap with the surname Hoar who named his son Nicholas.

Also, worked with a Will Excell (v dynamic sales type - I always wondered whether he would have been different with a more staid name).

Met an Australian lady called Tallulah Tripoli - love the way it rolls off the tongue!

Another pilot I was aware of was Captain Fear. He wore a cape to work; it had a big gold letter 'F' on the back.

I have a colleague whose surname is Cakebread.

There was also an Edwin Shacklebracket.

If your surname is Love, you have to be a doctor. Introducing yourself as 'Doctor Love' must be pretty cool.

frami · 25/04/2017 21:55

Last year I took my dog to a vet with the surname Labrador.
I worked with a Rose Budd.
Also know Dr Kneebone
