Re-watching old Walking Dead and I'd forgotten about the wonderfully-named producer Caleb Womble.

Best name ever, for me. What's yours?

I knew a PE teacher called Jim Hall which he hated.

Also knew someone who changed her name on marriage so her last name was exactly the same as her first name ie Grace Grace. Why would you do that through choice? Absolutely bizarre thing to do. She was a total fuckwit anyway.
