Also a Mr Whippey.

I work with someone who's surname is Dick. It gets worse, his first name is Harry but he has a scottish acccent so he is affectionately known as "Hairy Dick" .

TidyTink · 24/02/2008 22:13

its just one of those names that makes you get slightly about when you say it (i do anyway)

LyraSilvertongue · 24/02/2008 22:14

A girl at school had the surname De'Ath. I suspect they may have added the apostrophe...

devonsmummy · 24/02/2008 22:29

scottishmummy · 24/02/2008 22:29

LyraSilvertongue · 24/02/2008 22:30

Scottishmummy, isn't that what they called Harold Shipman? Dr Death? I wouldn't fancy seeing a doc with that name.

scottishmummy · 24/02/2008 22:33
