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?

Randy Gorilla*

There's a footballer called Luis Boa-Morte*, which I love. I wish my surname was Boa Morte.

*spellings may not be accurate.

Loving these names! I met a lady called Daffodil Marriage which I've never forgotten as its such a lovely name.

Some of these are gobsmackingly amazing. Here is my contribution:

Headmaster at secondary school - Dr. Fear. He was totally wet and useless.

Girl at same school - Susan Breadcake

Woman I had to phone at work - Susie Pine-Coffin

Neighbour - Mr Flasher

Orthopedic Surgeon in one of the hospitals here - Mr. Limb.

Boy in school I worked at : James (pronounced Hymi) Casablancas.
(sounds so much more glamorous than James Whitehouse.

This is one of my favourite subjects, and my biggest regret of not working in a multinational at the moment.

Granville Clutterbuck is just all rounds fantastic.

A bored trawl through one worldwide address book yielded the results Willy Risin, Irina Vagina and Anton Shaggin - which was great, but his job title was Stimulation Resource Co-Ordinator. Even better!

I used to attend an osteopath called Dr Bones Grin

I didn't think of Tickell, but yes, there's a whole family of them in my dd2's school.

The best names I have encountered are a Dr Pepper and a Dr Hoo.

I worked in the legal field for a few years undertaking medical negligence legal work, particularly gynaecology. Medical professionals used where Dr Cockshott and Professor Stud.

Also my colleague used to deal with a lady by the name of Victoria Bracegirdle which he really liked for some reason.

I always thought Barrington Pheloung had a corker of a name. He composed the theme to Inspector Morse (I'm sure he did many other things too)

There was a man in our village, when I was a teenager, who ran a builders yard. His name was Watson Axe. I always wondered whether it was just me that found that funny.

My husband went to school (abroad) with a Felix von Schittling-Horney! I trained with a Dr Love and Dr Payne and worked for a neurologist called Dr Brain.

I was once served in a U.S car hire place by a Rusty Colon. It was the last straw after a 18 hour journey I was practically hysterical.
