I once worked with a person who'd gone to school with a girl called Myrtle Turtle. I have never stopped loving that.

Any others?

Annette Kirkton.
Poor girl would have been fine anywhere else in the world, but no, she went to school here, in a town with a district called Kirkton pronounced "curtain," rendering her "a net curtain" forever more.

My sister was at school with Winson Yip... Best. Name. Ever!

I wanted her to marry him. He’s a city wanker on a TON of money now...but she’s a genetic scientist, so she’s alright on her own! Grin
