Best name you ever heard

[Elephantsareace]

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 know a Brian O’Brien, whose dad was also called Brian
Christine Cross - she used to go by Chris
A marketing manager called Robin Money
A dentist called Dr Smilie
A urologist called Dr Wang

My dad once had an employee called Cherry Peel - it wasn't her married name. Her parents had actually called her that.

At uni I knew someone called Pratinder Shagger and someone else with the surname Fukanaga.

My ex went to school with someone called Douglas Orgy (it might have been spelt differently but said the same). He explained "once he was 18 he changed his name to Thomas". I was a bit slow on the uptake and said "what so he's Thomas Orgy now?"

A work contact called Twinkle Shah.

Never fails to make me smile.

Had an appointment with a doctor called comfort.

Trade Union officer called Wayne King.

What parents do that?

On the back of one of my jokey Latin quotations books (yes, I’m that sort of person 😂) credit is given to the gloriously named Nikiforos Doxiadis Mardas, who apparently in the 90s ‘divided his time between London and Athens’ and I’m sure was known as Nick to his friends.

One of the reception teachers when my DCs were little was called Mrs Diaper.

Always thought the writers Shere Hite and Minty Clinch were great names.

Oh and my df had someone in his class at primary called Martin Martin. And I had a teacher who taught a Norman Norman.

There was a GP in SE London called Dr Bindon Blood

Elvis Safari and Lurlene Trumpet

My friend also worked in a GP surgery years ago and had to call in a patient from the waiting room called Mrs. Shagbarmy.

My friend's gran was called Bunty Chicken

I've always loved that Gary, Phil and Tracey Neville's dad was Neville Neville.

There was also an American racing driver called Dick Trickle.

My dad is really into genealogy and when looking into our family tree he found some distant ancestor, a woman, called Lockhart Warnock.

Hypatia Kettle

A little American boy at dd1’s pre school in Abu Dhabi was Florian Finkbeiner.

And she later knew a Polly Esther Cotton.

I’ve suddenly remembered my mum recounting how, many years ago, she had to call in Mr Corps to see Mr Coffin.

I knew one of them.

Also Chris Cross, Catherine Weel and A. Pratt.

Was your Christine Cross in early years education??

Funnily enough, my address contains the word Dove, like the bird. You’d be amazed how often people read it as dove, like the past tense of dive.

I had him on a flight once, DW has never believed me- I knew I hadn’t imagined it!

Family history research turned up an ancestor called Fannie Damp.

Dived is the past tense of dive, but Americans say dove.

When I was a nurse we had a a listvof all the departments in the hospital
It always amused me that one of the consultants who worked in Urology was called Gwen Craply.
I also remember a colleague taking a a call from a Dr Limpprick ,...

Polly Esther Cotton

Poor sod - were her parents 3 sheets to the wind when they came up with that?

Just remembered our vicar in the seventies - Ernest Killer!

Do you work in a town in the north west of England by any chance?
