I had a teacher at school called Diane Smith. Which was fine - until she went and got married one summer and came back as Diane Azure.

She so should have kept her maiden name for school - I don't think she ever lived it down.

I also knew a boy called Phil Mee.

Dikon Stainer was the worst name I've ever heard. He was Head of Marketing for HMV or something.

Bob Sherunkle was an entry in the BT Intranet staff directory too. People used to look him up all the time. Sadly he was the creation of the techies and not a real person. Even though he had a photo and everything.

I used to work with a Christopher Peacock whose nickname was Chrispy (he called himself Chrispy so obviously didn't mind)

I used to live up the road from a Julius Caesar and his son was also called Julius Caesar. I seem to remember they had a daughter called Julia too, but that could just be my memory playing tricks!
