Tribunal in France has refused permission for the names for 2 babies Nutella & Fraise (strawberry) & have renamed Fraisine (19C name) & Ella...
What goes on in the minds of some parents?

I taught Aaron Mycock. Oddly insistent his name was pronounced A-Ron not Air-Ron.
I,ve also met Barry Cade and Kuhl Bir Shandi.

I discovered one of my fb friends had a Mustafa Tan on his friends lustre yesterday

Anette Curtis (correct spelling) is an ex colleague of mine. I really hope she got married to get that!

We had a Paige Turner at school

I used to know a girl called April Showers.

I think Luke Ware might be a typo and actually is Luke Warm?

I dealt with a client called Michael Hunt at work. Lovely man, but I nearly fell off my chair when he said "oh, call me Mike"

Oh! And when I was a kid, a friend's relative knew a Shirley Whirly (probs not spelt like that, but still...)

I have a relative called Jenny Taylor

I knew a Red Hummingbird, Bridget Job (worked in oral health dept!), Gay Mould (full name- not short for Gaynor!)...

The next one is potentially going to out my location, but there's a local journalist here called Dick Bellringer. No joke!

I went to school with a Theresa Green....

I knew a Richard Sowell (pronounced Sole). You'd think a registrar of births would say - hang on a minute...

I used to work with a guy called Long Wang

I knew a Hugh Jass, no I'm lying, that was in an episode of the Simpsons, (snigger)! Still makes me laugh though.....

Used work with someone called Max Myring

A friend of mine swears she knows a Lydia Teapot. Sorry if youre a MNetter Lydia

The poor little sod whose parents gave him the fore- and surnames of the England team that won the World Cup in 1966 has been dragging that ridiculous burden around for 49 years now. Imagine every time he shows his passport . . .

And on a previous thread I mentioned Wendy House - her single name.

Victoria Cross was a married name and they did not call their son George.

I have met

Jane Lane
Ann Mann
Nicholas Nicholas
Shirley Shirley

There was, of course, the eminent Dr Donald Duck, who was born long before Walt Disney borrowed his name and suffered vastly for it.

My mother also cited kids called Heather Bell and Crystal Glass from her teaching career. I know there were others, but those are the ones that i remember.

I used to work with a woman whose surname was Hoare. She lived with a friend whose name was Trollope. On the entryphone at the door was 'Trollope and Hoare'. We all fell about laughing - she couldn't seen anything wrong!

Also knew a man called Doug Peat.

I believe that there is a clergyman in Scotland called Ronald McDonald.

My dad, bless him, is William (Willy) Cock.

His cousin is Richard.
