A Vodafone door to door salesman was doing the rounds on our road earlier with the latest offers that aren't available online apparently... anyway he left his business card and when I saw his name I had to LOL as it was Robin Crowe! His family must love bird names Grin

Had to go and Covid swab a lady called Myfanny Bush. Me and my colleague were in hysterics all the way to her house. Normally we call a patient prior to arriving and my colleague mustered the strength to call her but she didn’t answer but she called back. My colleague then starts shouting oh my god my fanny is ringing. Our driver had to pull over the van as he was in hysterics. When we got to the house I was the one who had to swab whilst colleague was clean nurse. I managed to hold it together unlike colleague who exclaimed oooh what a beautiful garden you have! All I can say is thank god for face masks and visors! 😂😂😂😂

At one point, the American Ambassador to the UK was called Woody Johnson, wihich always sounded to me more like a porn star than a diplomat!

Also friend Joanne King always known as Jo King

At a school open evening this week we met a teacher called Mr Butt.
Why would you decide that teaching was the career for you with that name? Grin

GrandTheftWalrus · 23/09/2021 21:40

I also knew a man called John Thomas who owned a gay bar in Puerto Rico.

Also seeing the Joanne King posts reminds me of when the police came to my door looking for a Joanne King that lived here, I told them I had lived here for 6 years and before me was a old lady. I said did they not realise the name was Jo King? Obviously someone had just given a random address.

@Caplin

Whilst out canvassing during a by election we found:

Barbara Baboorab
Endletrout Cassidy
Grafton Prince

And there was a candidate (now an MP) called Bambos Charalambos, which was magestic.

Majestic is a perfect way to describe it - I really love his name!

Sorry - why is Theresa Green funny…?

I like the nominative determinative ones - like the late Lord Judge and Lord Justics Laws, both very senior judges.

Joe King. What were his parents thinking?

GrandTheftWalrus · 23/09/2021 21:48

@benmac apparently there was lots of girls called pocahontas running about the west of Scotland in the 90s.

In my school there were male German teachers. Addressed as Herr Ball and Herr Clinic. Just glad Mr Eacock worked in the music department.

I knew a girl who’s last name was ‘Fanny’, she was the butt of a few jokes Grin

One of my favourite names is Mary Fukuto, who was a producer on Frasier.
