Truly awesome names

[lucysnowe]

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 knew a charlotte Shirley shillingford once !

The excellently named Barb Haddock is a highly regarded estate agent near me. She's a very glam, blonde lady who doesn't suit her name at all

We will be moving this thread to Baby Names soon.

In my family tree there was an Eli Mentel. Also a married couple Polly and Solly. And an Auntie Bluma (I think this is German/Yiddish for flower but does not sound good in English). And of course a Great Aunt Fanny.

Friend of a friend at uni was named Velvyn O'Hara which I always thought sounded like a glamourous 1940s Hollywood star :D

Once worked on a project with a lady called Krystal Maze - she wasn't from the uk so probably had no idea how awesome her name was

I worked with someone called Victoria who married a Mr Cross!

I worked with a James Dean
I knew of an Autumn Summers

And not real but someone I know was once misheard as being called Lion Roosevelt

Oooh, ooh I've thought of one! A friend of mine had an American colleague and she was called Kestrel Lemen.

I was at uni with a girl called Silka Pearle. The family was German.
One of my closest friends is called Victoria Cross, I don't really notice the irony to be honest.

I knew a Rock Rockerfeller. Brilliant name!

Thanks Toni :)

My mum went to University with a girl called Wendy House

John Smith

We have the deeds to our Edwardian house. In the early twentieth century it was owned by someone by the name of Reckless Augustus Rogers.

Reckless Rogers is a great name in itself but Augustus in the middle finishes it off!

My great grandparents were Maggie-May and John-Jo. I love that they were both hyphenated and alliterative.

I know of a Mrs.A.Hoare

Once came across someone called Strawberry whivh i was a bit about at first but quickly realised I loved it.

I work with someone in the same field who has the same first and surname as me. Our emails are all "hi IHaveACrapCat, it's IHaveACrapCat here" we've been working together for years (different office Thankfully) and it still tickles me

I went to university with a girl called Fleur Greentree

Oh, I love threads like these!

My favourite, most awsome name is the journalist Damian Grammaticus.

I used to work in the records department of a national utility company and kept a spreadsheet of all the weird and wonderful names I came across. It sadly got lost over time but the ones I still remember are the Trumpton-like Mr. Onions of Windy Hill Farm, and Mr. Noah Flood, whose house was called The Ark. A lady called Tamara Knight, and anothe called Mary I Trust, which I always felt was lacking a comma and question mark. And lots of people in one part of the country with the surname Chicken.

I've also worked with someone with the surname Uren, and an Eileen Forward - amazingly there is more than one of them in the Scottish records!

Has anyone mentioned the wonderful Pat Badger yet? He's the bassist in Extreme. American Rock God, had really long blonde hair. Pat fucking Badger.

onemorewonthurt I always remember his name, watched a repeat of CDWM recently and his name suits him!

Years ago I worked with helping teens with a service and had to ring

Candy Kane, Lee Attard
I always thought Xsara Hale was fab, if we move on to funny initials/names!

I know a Merlin Sol, with a brother named Raphael...!
Boston Blue Waters
Went to uni with a few Maximilians... must have been popular year I was born!

Humphrey Pomfrey is giggle inducing!

I knew of a woman called Daphne Duck, a gent called Sidney Harbour , a girl called Min Gee and a teacher called Hilary Filary

Also knew of a Hugh Watt

GP called Dr Pile.

Worked with Kenny Dearlove.

DontFuckingSayIt Had to phone a Mrs Corker once (in a proper professional capacity) and left an answerphone message full of giggling snorts asking her to call back before the days of re-recording.

Ds2 went to nursery with Norman Nobbs.

DD was at school with a Ruby Rose Red

A lady who lived in the street I grew up in was Precious Redwine
