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?

To be fair, 'Engelbert Humperdinck', isn't very cool is it? 😒Grin

GnatsChuff · 27/04/2017 11:57

It's a fabulous name! Even if he wasn't!

Igneococcus · 27/04/2017 12:04

The original Engelbert Humperdinck had a magnificent moustachio [completely missing the purpose of this thread]

Was also interviewed by a Fong McGeorge.

@lucysnowe I really want to refer back to this thread so I requested for it to be moved out of _Chat, I hope you don't mind! Grin

QuimReaper · 27/04/2017 13:22

punkpuffin I know a little Zebedee too! Bold choice, I always thought.

GlitteralHood · 27/04/2017 13:23

Someone I know calls himself Perry 7. He's an academic so when his work is cited it's like "7 argued that..."

He's a cunt but good name Grin

We obviously occupy the same corporate world MontyPython!

AgathaMystery · 29/04/2017 00:38

Yes but Dilly you & I both know the GGC is batshit crazy. I say that as a fan of when she was pointy toe shoe factory.

Sophronia · 29/04/2017 00:48

My sister went to school (not UK) with a Kent Hair.

I went to college with Rusty Orr. He couldn't see what was funny about his name.

Paperdove87 · 30/04/2017 10:37

My favourite student name so far is Ianique, pronounced like Unique.
I can hear his parents' thought process...
'We want something unique. Ooh I like that! But how can we make it different and special?'

spinassienne · 30/04/2017 11:10

TBF that could be a variant spelling of Yannick which is an actual name.
