Shitta! Was someone with this surname in our telephone directory a few years ago.

Lulu yes! Tulip-Lee, pronounced Tuli-Plee - and Florence asks why she has drawn "a yellow twat with a green tampon string hanging out of it" beside her name.

i have a book of worst names.
but iof i checked it that would be cheating, right.
in my defense, it seemed like a good sort of book to have in the downstairs loo for, er, browsing if you happen to find yourself in there for some time.

In my family tree we have the names Pratlett, Stabbins and I think worst of all Clapp. Oh and the Clapp women didn't tend to be that keen on getting married either.
