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

Once met a Texan through work who was called Sterling Pratt.

Drew peacock (Andrew but as it was the same as his dad he went by Drew)…awful!

Patient at an old job actually changed his name by deed poll and we had to request the proof… Jesus Christ Is (I can’t put the last names as it’ll out who I or where I am based) but I believe there are several Jesus Christ’s which I just find very weird!

Ah yes I knew a few Pratts as well.

It's funny how this thread is making me remember people I'd completely forgotten about.

I’ve just noticed someone beat me to LCJ Judge. Sorry!

I also know a fellow barrister called John Law. Now that’s a solid name. I always imagined him introducing himself in a James Bond-esque style.

Taught a child named Ruby Port

My mum & dad had friends (a married couple) called Gay & Les. They never quite understood why I fell about giggling when they mentioned them (I was about 10 at the time).
