I recently heard of an Elphinstone Dalgleish. Have also met a couple of kids called Star.

What fun/marvellous/slightly wacky names have you come across?

I worked with public records, and there was a list of the best names, place names and occupations, compiled over many years.

My favourite name was a lady with the surname Sidebottom. She married a man called Mr Top, and thus became Mrs Sidebottom or Top!
