Recently dealt with a woman at work who had called her daughter Beau - all very well but unfortunately this was teamed with the surname Lock.
I wonder sometimes if people think through how names will work together.

My friends DD has a new baby girl called Daisy Hill.

When I was a teenager I used to fancy the pants off a boy called Michael Hunt. I honestly didn't work out how unfortunate to be called Mike Hunt until I was about 25. Doh.

Also Billy Balls. If he was a she, his mother would have called him Norma.

I know a prisoner (not socially I work in a prison!) called Micheal Hunte. Also knew one called Hector Akhter.

Tee hee

I used to have a data supplier in the States called Ed Case, not at all funny over there apparently.

KNew an Adam Wooff years ago-he had a lot of trouble once when a policeman asked for his name and thought he was pissing about.

JuJusDad · 12/10/2009 23:08

Once upon a time I worked in a call centre. Few of the names I remember:

Maximum Velocity (somehow he got married and became Velocity-Hanks, as did his wife )

Treasure Island

Ufuk Gur (a doctor, doubtless is something completely normal in his own language)

Can't remember any more just now.

Friend's nephew was Thaddeus Frogley now known to everyone as tadpole.

Customer where I worked was Mr Major Khakh.

Friend of friend (fof?) knew 2 brothers - Peter and Andrew Nurse. Not so bad you think but they become formally - Mr P Nurse and Mr A Nurse.

I worked with an American called Ed Wanker! You'd change your name, surely? He was bemused at first as to what the problem was, maybe wanker isn't used in the USA?

Arsed · 13/10/2009 09:37

I looked after a chap called Randy Workman for a while.

BarakObamasTransitVan · 13/10/2009 12:09

I rather like names like "Alister Mcalister". And I think Luke Skywalker is rather cool

There is a senior officer in the Navy called Captain Twitchin. Fair do's, but why for the love of God would he chose to call himself Dick?

I also came across a Dwayne Pipe.

lupa · 13/10/2009 12:30

Used to have a customer at work called Mr T Bagg - he must have a sense of humour about it as he always used his initial.

naptime · 13/10/2009 12:48

I know a Bob Roberts...

jeee · 13/10/2009 12:49

I was at school with Jo King and Wayne Payne

jeee · 13/10/2009 12:50

And I taught Omar Sharif, and Elvis Goodluck.

VivClicquot · 13/10/2009 12:55

There's a journalist at the Manchester Evening News called Wayne Ankers.

Heat magazine picked up on this and ran a story about him and included his photo, which then prompted loads of girls to write into Heat / the M.E.N asking him out on a date. Trufact.

JohnnyYellowHat · 13/10/2009 12:55

I know someone who went to school with a Mars Bari.

And I once met a Willie Winkler.

Madsometimes · 13/10/2009 12:57

Teresa Green (She was a Mrs Green though, so you cannot blame her parents).

VivClicquot · 13/10/2009 12:57

Oh and there's a bloke at the company at which I work called Richard Whittington. (Think about it...)
