Ventisei - his grandfather came out of the orphanage in Italy with a number instead of a surname...

I taught a class that had a Cox, Ball and a Hancock. It used to amuse me.

I went to school with a Michael Hunt. Genuinely.

I also knew a girl whose surname was Smelt.

Also Clutterbuck.

There's a Dr Love who does vasectomies 😂.

Had a teacher called Mrs Westmancote, which obviously became Eastwomanjacket among all of us..

JollyAndBright · 08/09/2020 22:52

I had a friend at school called Tarquin Penford-Luckinbill.

He is lovely but his dad, Billington Penford-Luckinbill, was as much of an obnoxious tosser as the name makes him sounds.

I also have a hyphenated surname but not quite as unusual.

WarriorsComeOutToPlayay · 08/09/2020 22:58

My surname has been mentioned and it is one of the good ones. It does make people smile which is lovely. I like having a cheerful name!
