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?

Selvagia Colomba (means wild dove in Italian)

I know sisters called Ginevra, Sofia Helene, and Alessandra. I always feel like they could be the sisters in a period novel.

I was at a work do with Randy Wiggle from Milwaukee. He went round the room, introducing himself to everyone like that: Hi! I'm Randy Wiggle from Milwaukee. Hi! I'm Randy Wiggle from Milwaukee. Hi! I'm Randy Wiggle from Milwaukee. (Everyone else just used first names - Helen, Dave, Caroline.

He said that by repeating it over and over, it made it less funny for everyone.
Randy Wiggle was wrong on that.

On my first day in my new job I was asked to make a phone call to a Mr and Mrs Wardrobe. I thought it was some sort of joke on a new colleague for ages and was rolling my eyes and laughing along and saying "yeah right, you're not going to catch me out with that one!". But, no, there really was a Mr and Mrs Wardrobe (in Plymouth, Devon if anybody knows them).

There was a make up artist on The Usual Suspects called Yolanda Squatpump. Her name has totally eclipsed her career - I think there was a FB page dedicated to it at one point.
