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?

One of our dinner ladies at school had the surname Mann, so she was Mrs Mann - which amused us enormously as children.

I had a boy called Lyndon Henstridge in my class at school.

And I once got an estimate from a builder who's surname was Guttering, which prompted me to say in panic (when I saw his business card) 'do you do all building work or just guttering ?'

When my Mum first started work in the early 60's she was in the typing pool and had to type letters to a gentleman in France called Mr Dickshit.

At various points I went to school with Red Diamond, Scarlett Snow and Midnight Sparkle.

I worked with Mr Tickell

I know a great kid called Lotta Fanny. Not in uk.

I obviously went to a really boring school, everyone was called John, Paul, Sean, Liam, Clare, Lisa. But it was Catholic school in Glasgow in the 90s.

I work at a university and some of the students' names are incredible. We have a Tigerlily Graham and a girl whose first name is Estelle but her middle name is Glasgow. We get lots of Chinese students here for English courses and most choose perfectly normal English names or stick with their Chinese names but every year there are girls called Ice or Icy. No idea why.

There is an American racing driver called Will Power

There's a woman in the news at the moment called Zipporah Lisle Mainwaring. That's a cool name. She's in the news for painting the outside of her house in red and white stripes - I think it looks fun.

Once met a 'Gradley Thirkle' on the Edinburgh to Plymouth train. He showed me his bank card as I thought he was pulling my leg. Anyone know him in real life?
