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?

An old work colleague was called Maxwell Lovelace Keate. I loved his name.

I also have a friend who changed his name by deed poll to Johnny Bollocks. Shockingly he is known as Bollocks to everyone now.
