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 worked with a Sean Haggers, nothing special there , but all company emails were of the 'first initial last name format. They did not make an exception in this case.

That sounds like a cute wee staircase. I can see it'd make you smile every time you passed the name boards... On subject of names & Our Mutual Alma Mater, I attended a memorial service for an academic in my final year. At the university, Alison Duke was known as The Iron Duke, in Girlguiding she was Chick. Not sure she was any the less formidable in guiding, mind you, what with the whole "negotiating hostage release with various parties in the Greek Civil War" Thing (& all the rest of the relief work she did after WW2) Hmm

My DH's american colleague was Sherwood Dodge. When we were introduced I couldn't help but exclaim, "Awesome name!". His wife then told me he was from a line of 5 of them but they broke the tradition with their son, which I thought was a shame.

Similarly to Workplace I used to work in a hospital where the operating lists were identified by the surgeon's surname and the first 5 letters of their first name. All fine except for Mr William Seymour.........

On the credits for Breaking Bad there's an Alejandro Snodgrass. That's a great fusion name I think.

I'm not sure if he has been mentioned yet, but I think the journalist Damian Grammaticus has a wonderful name.

I used to know a Helen Christmas. I believe there is a low-key TV presenter in the UK called Emma Christmas.

I've heard of African folk with names like Blessing and Patience. I think names such as these are Nigerian.

I used to work with a guy called Jonny Eighteen. I always thought it was a nickname but it's his real name.

Brodie McGregor from Anstruther!

I love this name Smile

There is also a (rather good looking) police officer on Twitter called Harry Tangye - another great name!

I also know somebody called Carl Coolbear!

Hygellig · 03/05/2017 09:45

Seamus McSporran has a great name too!
I do what parents were thinking when saddling their children with some of these names.

GiGiraffe · 03/05/2017 15:27

I have another one! I just bought something from eBay and had a problem with it. I was contacted by Tini Kroger to resolve the issue

Gatekeeper · 04/05/2017 19:36
