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 know a Veritas True, a Peregrine Ambler and a Crispin Butterthief

Ooh - and Romeo Shakespeare

I once worked with a lad called Chris P Bunn

No way, FamilySpartan! I wish I actually knew her. I only came across her as my friend took her booking at Ticketmaster many years ago and was really tickled by her name.

As a child, there was a lovely old lady who lived near us. She had the absolutely wonderful middle name "By-the-sea". Her surname was Shaw, making her xxxxx By-the-sea Shaw (pronounced Shore). I remember being fascinated by this very elderly lady with such a romantic name and always wondered about her creative/wacky parents who must have named her in about 1910.

Used To work (abroad) with a Mr Wanko - pronounced van-co.
Always amusing when London based clients would call asking to speak to him.

Maggie Macsporran. Love it.

Laird MacLean a real sweetie, mature student at college. Wasn't a Laird or Scottish but always wore a tartan tie.

Crawford Moxley - bought my house through him!! Small world.

@ShatnersBassoon the woman that did my dating scans for DS was a Jo King. Made me every time I looked at her report!

I knew a jo king, she was married to Paul king (p-king) they didn't call their son Juan sadly.

I also know two brothers called Anthony and Peter nut, a nut and p nut!

Oh and I have had dealings with a gynaecologist named Dr Fuca. This was in Italy. I told him what it sounded like in English - luckily he thought it was hilarious.

I've always loved that Ralph Feinnes full name is triple-barrelled: Ralph Thistleton-Twickham-Feinnes* fancy-schmancy!

• if memory recalls - i get a bit wobbly brained and thigh-rubby thinking about lovely Ralphy

Justmadeperfectflapjacks - my orthodontist was also Gordon Bennett! Were you in the NE?

I knew a family whose last name was Gotobed, pronounced exactly as it sounds! Always thought that the nighttime routine at theirs would be funny!

And we had a teacher at school whose name was Gay Hancock, always had to stifle a laugh with her.

DDad had a hand Japanese/half Scottish colleague called Yakimoto Hamilton. As a child in the 1970s, I loved that combo, and the exotic imagery it conjured up.

Gimble I knew someone whose surname was Bedgood !

Heidi Poppy Buttons sounds unbearably cute. I'd love it if she was a hard-nosed bitch

One of the names on here is on my MN baby bus

A managing Director of quite a big company in America called Princess Harper. She was lovely!

Wee boy in my Bookbug sessions called Jaxon Sangster.

Also my mum used to teach a Lynx Wildwood

I had an operation last year and my anaesthetist was called Dr Haus. I was made up

Two kids in my brothers year at school had the surnames Wiley and wanklyn.....

I think it was in another of these threads, but someone posted that they worked with a lawyer called Alcides Hellmeister. Such a fab name, it always stuck with me. (It's real too, I checked).

Orlando Whippy (was a young estate agent when I met him)

Hector Hawkes

I spent a summer collating Primary school Sats scores, some of those names stayed with me a long time, now I can only remember Princessing Ellis.

A teacher called Miss Lush, always thought she belonged in a Ronald Dahl story, Lauren Lush.

I know of a Horatio Blood who makes toy theatres...

The best I can come up with is that I work with a Chelsea Bunn.

It really suits her!
