Comical mishaps

[Tea1Sugar]

I had a Paige Turner in my class at school and dp use to work with a Ben Dover. Do you know any others?

I feel sorry for people like Bridget Jones who have a really ordinary name that suddenly becomes linked to one person or fictional character. There must be loads of Harry Potters and David Camerons.

And Fred West. That would be particularly unfortunate.

Someone on my friends list on Facebook bakes cakes. She had one on recently that was for Isla-Skye. I'm not sure if the parents chose the name deliberately or not.

someone else I went to school with has dcs called Kia and a Kai

Vernon Poole and Chris Tingle.. also Warwick Hunt (worra cunt)

Richard Payne (work)
Julius Caesar (school)

At my DCs school there are DTs called Evan and Elle.
The parents must be bonkers!

My friend used Faye Leah for her baby's first name and middle name. Not ideal!

Used to be in the retired section of members of my profession. Everard Cock.

I know a Rob Hiscock... Don't know why he doesn't go by Robert!

DSis went to college with a Theresa Green.

I also know a Theresa Green! And Hazel Wood. And Dn went to school with Thomas Thomas (imaginative...)

I knew a Mr. Shaw-Twillie at my brother's school. And never fail to mention him on these boards (not quite a mishap as in first name-surname but someone must have decided to double-barrel those names at some point!)

I couldn't decide between Faye and Leah for my daughter and did think of calling her Faye Leah at one point with Leah as middle name, but luckily thought better of it!

I like this thread! Can I add that I once knew a Donald McDonald?

There is a radio 4 producer call Jo King.

Know of these two via a friend of a colleague. The fiancée is now married and called Amber Glasscock. It kind of sounds like a high end dildo

Wendy Day, Harriet Peacock & Teresa Green. Seems I'm not the only one on this thread who went to school with someone of that name?

Siblings Amy and Jamie.

Miss Cox (teacher) who married Mr Willey.

William Lee, known as Will Lee

My mum had in one of her classes (now retired teacher) Roman King, Muhammad Ali and Harry Potter. Apparently the Potter family thought "this Harry Potter thing will never catch on"....

I went to school with twins called Connor and Rhea. Their mum calling them in was amazing.

Am a teacher. Seen a few of these.
Joanne King, known as Jo
James Brown
Michael Jackson
Carey Hunt (yes, really)
Just off top of my head!!!

I went to school with twins:
Polly and Esther

I once went on a course and the bloke taking the course was called;
Richard Head

A colleague has a partner called Michael Hunt, she refuses to marry him!

An old head teacher of mine was called Mr Woodcock! Cue sniggers every time his name was called
