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

@ddl1

I've met people in Accounts called Ms Cashman and Ms Ledger ;a primary school teacher called Mrs Littlechild; and a gardener called Mrs Green. There were early/mid 20th century neurology textbooks by authors called Brain and Head, and there is a book on animal behaviour by Fox and Tiger (yes, really). There is a law firm in Warwickshire called Wright Hassall; read it aloud and it just about sums up any situation where one might need to consult a lawyer!
A family I know used Wright Hassall and one family member living in Bristol rented a second property out near Cardiff and the agent was Crook & Blight. You could not make it up.

@dancinfeet

Shirley Worley (married name), which sounds kind of fun, but she was a fairly elderly very strict ex headmistress, not someone you could have a chuckle with about her name.
Jesus I’m early 40’s and would be giggling like a school girl if someone presented themselves to me as ‘Shirley Worley’ - it’s making me chuckle now, I’d be in stitches if I was in a work environment where you’re not allowed to laugh.

Hugoslavia · 22/09/2021 23:01

Oh yes, and my Dad's friend is actually called Randy Gibbons. I kid you not. I'd forgotten about him until this thread.

Polly married a Mr Parrot.
Gaynor Hardon. How could her parents not have realised this one?

I live next door to Mr. Bean. He prefers people to use his first name rather than call him Mr.

Oh and Dr De’ath, Dr Killah and Dr Scull all on the same corridor with names on the doors.

I used to work with Mrs Christmas and Mr Heaven- both were lovely!

I was at school with girls named Priti, Beauty, Lavli, and Joy.

My best friend didn't take her DH's surname, because it's essentially her first name! (Like Taylor Taylor)

I don't get Briony Pickles though, why is that one amusing?

Sundaymorningfiveninteen · 22/09/2021 23:03

The Reverend Daunton-Fear.
( of a church in Barming Kent , I kid you not ).

Genna Taylor was a girls in the same year as my daughter. I didn’t believe it until I saw her name on the sports day run down .

Decades ago, my granny found a wedding notice in the paper, informing the reader that a lady with the surname Drinkwater had married a man with the surname Wee.

She cut it out to show us. Sounds like a match made in heaven, don't you think?

ItsReallyOnlyMe · 22/09/2021 23:04

Nicholas Hawes (apparently his parents didn't realise until after he was born - calls himself Nick now)

FangsForTheMemory · 22/09/2021 23:05
