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 know someone called Ray Leakey and he was (long retired now) in charge of radiation safety at a research lab. Weirdly, dp and I were the only people who seem to have found it funny.

An old work colleague was called Maxwell Lovelace Keate. I loved his name.

RunBikeSki - DH used to work with a Hamish Patel which I thought was a great fusion name.

QuimReaper and LionsTeeth, along with Miss Nazareth, the other RE teacher at my Convent secondary school was Miss Jordan.

Is it mandatory for RE teachers to have appropriate names, I wonder? ("Sorry Mrs Jones, you've been unsuccessful in your application for Head of RE as your name does not fulfill the essential criteria")

RaspberryOverloadsOnChilli · 25/04/2017 13:39

Does anyone have an unusual name and keep looking at threads like this to see if they get mentioned? I do Grin and no, I'm not telling

Vasili Manthos was in my Homeric Greek class at university. We used to go around repeating his name under our breath because it rolled out of the mouth so nicely.

A uni friend of DH's is Dr. Dickon Love and his father is Rev. Love.

Some friends' daughter named her new baby Scarlett Poppy Fields.

My father printed some change of name cards for a lady called Andrea Buttles who changed her name to Butolph, which in the local accent must have come out more like butt-off.

In my hometown there is a family of doctors: Dr Wehbie (to rhyme with freebie)
Briony Shaw (briney shore) was a UK windsurfer from the summer Olympics last year.

A young cousin of DH is Hudson Harley
