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 know two Filipina ladies with unusual names: one is called Pancake, the other is called Cheerful.

How could you ever be angry with them?

This will lower the tone, but in my last workplace there was a chap in the New York office by the name of Gaylord Bumgardner.

I saw something on the TV years ago and the man they were talking to was called Sherman Funk!

When I started high school and we met our form tutor for the 1st time, he asked one of the boys his name and he replied "Sir, William Dickey".

The teacher called him Sir William for the rest of the time he was at school!

Very Austin Powers!

Humphrey Pomfrey is just epic - that has really made me smile. Rhyming - or near rhyming - names are my all time favourite. There is a shop close to my ILs owned by someone called Norman Borman.

There's a man who worked in the drawing office at Yorkshire Water in the early 2000s called Comfort Golightly. Maybe he's still there, but we get all our utility drawings online now.
