Real people I have known include:
Wayne Carr
Candy Lane

I am still pmsl at the mention of the Fanny Fidler gravestone on the other names thread. I can only assume that one was through marriage.

I used to know Iona Pyle, and my mum went to school with Honor Kermode. Best one was an elderly person who I only know by name through a job I used to do - Airey Muff.
Speaking as someone with a ridiculous middle name/surname combo I can only sympathise with those afflicted!

Mr Careless on a brass solicitors plate has always worried me.
At university we used to get post for a Mr Fuck wala lam (I'm not sure of the spelling of the last bits, but the first bit kind of sticks in the memory). It stopped being funny after a while because he got lots of post and had left no address so we got rather fed up of him.
