Recently dealt with a woman at work who had called her daughter Beau - all very well but unfortunately this was teamed with the surname Lock.
I wonder sometimes if people think through how names will work together.

Also Billy Balls. If he was a she, his mother would have called him Norma.

When I was a teenager I used to fancy the pants off a boy called Michael Hunt. I honestly didn't work out how unfortunate to be called Mike Hunt until I was about 25. Doh.

This is the best thread I've seen and it has made my day giggling at all of this.

Afraid my only input is a man named Alan Keys

Bo is an okay name for a little girl, Beau is masculine. It means handsome. Tis like calling a girl Andrew instead of Andrea.

My brothers old headmaster was called Richard Head. Also went to school with a Nathan Latham

Know a little baby called Albie Back, which has always tickled me

Hando · 12/10/2009 19:31

I think Beau is a lovely name for a little girl Themissinglink

I once worked with a man called Wayne King. At first I thought it was a wind up - but it was true!

TheMissingLink · 12/10/2009 18:11

Why would you call a girl Beau?

Tomatefarcie · 12/10/2009 18:11

The local preschool has a little girl called Hazel Nutt.

cookielove · 12/10/2009 18:11

When my mum was a teacher there was a poor woman who taught at her school called Brenda Bottoms.

Imagine.

HeadFairy · 12/10/2009 18:07

There's a bloke who sometimes does Meridian news called Chris Peacock

TheCrackFox · 12/10/2009 18:05

Oh, and there was a boy in my class called Willie Dick. Why he didn't insist people call him William or Billy is beyond me.

IvaNighSpare · 12/10/2009 18:02

not sure why it double posted. wasn't that funny!

IvaNighSpare · 12/10/2009 18:01

A girl in my class was called Heidi Lowe (very unfortunate as at the time, in the 80s, there was a very popular comedy set at a holiday camp....)
Sorry, Heidi, if you're on MN
