to think these twins' names are ludicrous?

Toddlers - Dick and Fanny.
Not short for anything, apparently. British family.
Lordy.

They're real. I met them today.

And you thought to ask if that is their given name on their birth certs? Lovely... (and frankly unbelievable)

I can confirm that Everard Dick is real - I saw his ID at Chicagos Aylesbury one night - the door staff thought it was a wind up, unsurprisingly.

I know sisters called Sara and Yara. The older child chose her sister's name and wanted it to be similar to hers.

Also know sisters called Ella and Leah.

Yermaw Zahoor - not buying it, just too perfect!

used to send emails for work to a guy called Randy Bullock.

Oh. For. Fuck's. Sake. Those poor kids.

Monkey, read the fucking thread!

Oh do RTFT Monkey

I went to school with a Gaylord. His sister was a thoroughly ordinary Tracey.

When I was a child our gardener was Mr Trowel, and our doctor was Dr Coffin.

I always feel sorry for Freddie Fox, younger brother of Laurence. Isn't he one of Peppa Pig's friends?

I don't know anyone with a really unusual name. I do have a subscription to findmypast though, which is good for debunking/proving some of the things that come along on silly name threads.

There are no flipping Chlamydia's over the age of 10 (obviously). There really is a set of twins registered as Baby One and Baby Two though. And a Calamaty Jane, which came up when I put in Chlamydia, as one of the most similar names to Chlamydia!

Thanks Max, I've had professional dealings with one and two

An acquaintance called her second son Ace, other child called Benedict. Totally random sibset I thought, I wondered if her DH insisted on having his own way the second time round

hawkeye is it Pocahontas McGlinchey?

I overheard a mum yelling to her two sons 'Amazon and Ocean'!!

Icansee close...

There must be a few

I have an aunt Fanny, She's my mums older sister.
Everyone called her Frances because she hates her name unsurprisingly! even though it's not her real name

Icansee are you east coast?

I was on the train with twin girls, about 7yo I would guess. One started chatting to me.

Her name was 'Unique.'

I've met a Tia Maria and a Sapphire-Cocaine. It wasn't spelt like cocaine if I remember right, but definitely pronounced the same way.

It's not easy being called Richard Head I can tell you

What's wrong with Richard Head ?
much better than Eileen Dover or Hugh Jardon

Keeptrudging glad you enjoyed it, it's my favourite name ever bambambini I didn't believe DP either but he showed me the paperwork, 100% real.
