I have just come across someone who proudly bears the name of Buckmaster de Wolf. It is the awesomest name I have ever heard! Does anyone have any similar awesome names?

I went to uni with the someone by the fabulous name of Julian Gawain Clifford-Wills. He was known by a nickname totally unrelated to his name.

St John Goldfingle.....

Racster Dingwall

I like Cruickshank and Pine-Coffin as surnames.

I love the name St John.

Racster is a nice name. Rack for short.

A friend of a friend on Facebook is named Jesus Santana, which is surely the coolest name ever.

My late uncle was named St John, I was in my late teens before I knew it was an unusual name.

leccybill · 24/04/2017 12:21

I worked with someone in education called Bridie Sharkey. I've never forgotten it, I thought it was a cool name.

I had a one night 'fling' with a Jesus. He was from South America though and was pronounced Heysus, although he was lovely looking and had the best accent ever. It wasn't sustainable, but age 25 he was God like- the name really suited him.

I know 2 brothers called David & Sam Cameron....

I used to go to school with a German boy whose name was Ronald Hamburger. He was inevitably known as Big Mac.

BigGlasses · 24/04/2017 12:28

There is someone coming to give a talk at my work called Dr Ultan Power. Which is a brilliant name. I swing between expecting Austin Powers or maybe his arch enemy Ultimate Power. I'm looking forward to his talk just to see which he is more like (probably neither, probably very normal)

GinIsIn · 24/04/2017 12:29

JakeBallard a one night stand with a god-like Jesus? I'm sure there's a joke in there about missing the Second Coming, but alas I have a newborn and therefore am stupid and can't think of the best one!

toffeeboffin · 24/04/2017 12:33

I give you... Neleka Chuckly.

She suited her name to a t.

BillywigSting · 24/04/2017 12:34

I know a Charles Jupiter Gannicliffe.

My patisserie teacher was called Mrs Sweet.

My dad's boss was called Edward clough (pronounced clue). His office door said Mr E. Clough.

I know a Dr Badman Grin

DrinkReprehensibly · 24/04/2017 12:42

I know Richard and Rosie Rainbows. Just perfect.

At school we had a Dr De'ath, pronounced dee-ath. Yeah, obviously we didn't pronounce it like that.

Scrubba · 24/04/2017 12:44

I know a divorce solicitor who goes by the name of Miss A. Love.

LemonySippet · 24/04/2017 12:49

Timothy Honeybun

Couldn't be more perfect Grin

marybastardpoppins · 24/04/2017 12:51

I used to get sent emails meant for the person listed above me in the company Outlook address book whose first name was Troy - which is difficult to say without doing a movie trailer voiceover voice

SasBel · 24/04/2017 12:52

Watching Once upon a time last night, noticed the fabulously named Brian Wankum produced it!

JuneFromBethesda · 24/04/2017 12:52

The coolest name I have ever come across is someone I've had brief email contact with at work: Assumpta Lawless. She sounds like a comic book heroine to me. Fabulous.

MissDallas · 24/04/2017 12:54

There are some fabulous names on this thread!

I remember a girl in the opticians who have her name as Petra Smythe. It was years ago but I thought it was a fabulous name and never forgot it.

There is a boy in DS'a class called Maximilliano.

x2boys · 24/04/2017 13:21

i used to go to school with a St John everyone called him Sinny there was a Siegfried[sp] in my sisters class.

helpimitchy · 24/04/2017 14:05

Kish Mystery

stumblymonkeyreturns · 24/04/2017 14:09

It's not as good as some here but my friend dated an estate agent called Crawford Moxley which I think sounds like a Bond villain or spy.

He's not actually that interesting in real life.

stumblymonkeyreturns · 24/04/2017 14:13

I now want to change my name to Assumpta Lawless!

I also noticed a producer (or some such) on a programme recently called Cat Fox Grin
