Light-hearted: Don't you just LOVE some names?

[MadamesNet]

Taking a break from work...how cool is 'Kashuo Ishiguro' especially with 'Sir' Prefix

Always thought 'Isambard Kingdom Brunel' was quite something. Almost as if there will be no room big enough to fit his entire persona. Why hasn't this name ever appeared in the baby names section, they're always looking for something unique

What other names do you know that just make you sit back and think WOW! (in a good way not in a 'Chardonaye' kind of way ifyswim).

Ansel Elgort
Jarvis cocker
Amelie Mauresmo

When I was little I had a massive obsession with pole vaulters. There were two that were always battling it out for gold. There names were something like Sergei Bubka and Quincy Watts. I adored them and this thread has brought back some great memories.
We had chicken in my youth too and my favourite was called Gregory Peck. I thought I was hilarious coming up with that!

I always liked Biddy Baxter (editor/producer of Blue Peter, IIRC).

Michealangelo Antonioni
Donatella Versace
Steve McQueen
Zola Bud
Grace Deathridge (schoolfriend) is an immense name and she carried it off with... um... Grace!
Sebastian Flyte, i know it's ficticious.

Johan Sebastian Strauss.

Strauss is a fantastic word to say: Strauss Strauss Strauss

My mum once had a student called Billie Midnight Blue. He could use William if he wanted, but he wore Billie Midnight well. I have never forgotten it.

There's a business journalist/reporter on the BBC called Julia Caesar - I guess her parents decided to name her that as they hoped she was destined for great things!

The nurse who did my dcs vaccinations, Sister Elizabeth Bennet. She didn’t disappoint.

Your ancestor now has a street named after him in Dublin ( rightly so as his design helped Dublin port to develop). It's in the 'new' area near the Grand Canal theatre and Marker Hotel.
Blood Stoney Road.
I kid you not.

Cara Delevingne - it just sounds so glamorous and I always say it with an overly exaggerated Italian accent.

Nina Nannar always has to be said in a Smash advert alien voice.

I met an older lady once called Tuppence Tempest which I thought was AMAZING.

Agree with F1 drivers... Emerson Fittipaldi, so lovely to say over and over

And also Giancarlo Fisichella, who I found so hawt

And who could overlook PG Wodehouse, who revelled in the handle of
Pelham Grenville.. I remember in one of the Bertie Wooster books, Bertie saying "There's some rough work pulled at the font," regarding some startling Christian name he had discovered a friend had, and did wonder if his own had vexed or delighted him...

I met a woman years ago who had the fabulous name Comfort Golightly.

Atticus Finch - amazing name.

They also did it with "Barack Obama", now there's another fabulous name!

Ah, the Barack Obama song on the Chris Moyles show! I used to practise it whilst driving to work until I got it right and can still do it now! I miss those days....... Chris himself wasn't that funny on his own but when they were all together as a team it was fucking hilarious!

I remember Toby Lerone as well.

There are so fabulous names on this thread!

One that sprung to my mind straight away was the comedy character Philomena Cunk.

I work in a school with a lot of international students and there are some amazing names, it never ceases to amaze me. (Obviously I can't put them on here though)

I know a chap called Tom Majors. It's not exactly a cool name but it would suit him if he was an actor.

I always call George Alagiah 'George Alligator'.

Telegraph culture section journalist - Tristram Fane Saunders

Bob Flowerdew (Radio 4 Gardeners’ QT regular).

Bob Flowerdew and his Co panelist Pippa Greenwood HAD to become gardeners with those names

Ooh! Just remembered an aristo, quite mind boggling actually,
‘Jacobi Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe ‘ . I’d Knick the ‘Jacobi’ for a new baby but leave the rest.

Foljambe - from Mapp & Lucia - although it is a RL surname too.

Also like ‘Jecca Craig’

This thread is amazing. Especially for pregnant ladies like me! Added two names to my list already!

Jean-Claude Camille François Van Varenberg, also known as Jean-Claude Van Damme - I'm not that brave...

@Tamiah - 👍👍🌟Glad to know at least one person is going to make use of these fabulous names.

Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio is pretty cool.
