Just caught sight of this on the credits at the end of a programme as I waited for something else to start..."Victoria Hamburger". Seriously, you'd change your name, wouldn't you?

I suppose the only thing that could be worse is if she married Mr Sponge Grin

Lilbreeze I went to school with a Penny Laing (pronounced Lane) too.

Feel a bit guilty at having forgotten about her actually, as she was murdered when she was only 20 or 21. :(

Whats wrong with that?

My cosmetic surgeon is called Mr Carver. Oohh and I went to school with a Jade Greene!

I couldn't believe anyone would call their child Candida. But they have. And do.
I know a man who, before he became a doctor, wisely changed his surname from Slaughter.

Mary Fukuto is producer on Frasier it always gives me a smile when it comes up on the credits.

kickingKcurlyC · 22/05/2012 07:24

Good grief. I thought Phanella Fudge sounded like vanilla fudge, because it does. You're just sick ghoulsjustwanttohavefun.

ripsishere · 22/05/2012 07:28

I didn't know that's how you spelled her name. Phanella
I generally trot out my Thai aquaintances, Porn, Porntip, Bum, Bummy, Tit
but won't Wink. They are all acceptable and normal names in Thailand.
DD refused to call her swimming teacher Miss Poo because it was rude.

Thomas Wanker did the music on Buffy.
Brian Wankum was an associate producer.

BatmanLovesRobin · 22/05/2012 08:01

It's a bit like a Latin declamation, isn't it:

Wank
Wanker
Wankum

MimsyBorogroves · 22/05/2012 08:13

I knew a Fallon Hardmeat.

Hownoobrooncoo · 22/05/2012 08:15

There was a guy in our company called Randy Bullock.

WandaDoff · 22/05/2012 08:17

My Mum used to know an Arthur Jelly.

QuintessentialShadows · 22/05/2012 08:18

Anette Curtain.

But, the name that makes me giggle the most is:
Trude who married Jan Lutt. So Mrs Trude Lutt which means Jingle or fanfare in Norwegian. Lutt is an instrument, like a lyre. They are both musicians. I went to school with the pair of them. Grin

QuintessentialShadows · 22/05/2012 08:19

OMG. I have just given out the real names of real people. Confused

Illuminatedlabia · 22/05/2012 08:21

I know a Lew King.
I am so childish it makes me giggle every single time I hear it.

SoggySemolina · 22/05/2012 08:27

My mum's great aunt was called Fanny Hertz!

BadgerFace · 22/05/2012 08:57

I dealt with a tax inspector called Robin Mycock. Much hilarity in the office when his letters used to arrive...

OlaRapaceFru · 22/05/2012 09:00

There's a presenter on BBC TV called Julia Caesar - the first time I heard her name I thought I was, well, hearing things. But no, that's her name.

kickingKcurlyC · 22/05/2012 09:07

Actually, it's Fenella. I just copied that person above. I'd have guessed Fanella myself.
