There was a Michael Hunt at my school.

I knew someone who called her child Amber Waters, which always seemed a bit unfortunate to me, but maybe I was overthinking it.

There was a baby called Drew Peacock in the paper. Hope to God they had the sense to change his name.

squoosh · 23/02/2015 11:13

Oh poor little Drew has already been mentioned.

I went to school with a 'Jennie Taylor (genitalia) and a 'Chris Peacock' (crispy cock)

I have a colleague who says she grew up near siblings called Ophelia and Everard Dick.

I didn't believe her. Heard it dozens of times, urban myth, blah blah blah. Then I googled them and it turned out she was right! Blush

I'm always so sceptical of people who claim to know/know of people with this names. But I suppose some of them are true.

I know a few Jenny Taylor's. My mum went to school with an Annette Curtain.

Love these threads. Don't have any stories mind. Still coming into play though as it certainly will be fun.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 23/02/2015 18:54

Ha ha. Henrietta Crow and Julietta Cock. Love it!

I knew a Holly Wood - her parents were surprised she changed her surname when she got married.

I've shared these on MN before, but I know Jack Potts, and two of my friends went to primary school with Wendy House.

RL20 · 24/02/2015 09:25

I can't believe some of these names ha ha, has made me giggle. I don't know any particularly funny ones but I know of a Robyn Robinson and a Fynn Findley. Why, just why?

I also heard 'Bridget Jones' over the tannoy in Tesco last week, couldn't see her anywhere though.
