My son was at primary school with a lad whose surname was Smelt - didn't matter what first name his parents chose!

Also Smellie. Me and my friends when were were about 12, used to look through the phone book to see who we could prank . Poor Mr/Mrs Smellie were a favourite. Shouting "yuk whats that stink" and puttjng the phone down 😆 (back in the days when calls were not traceable
)
