I don't know if anyone else has already linked to this one, but I thought it was quite funny!

Have a look here

LOL @ "Les Plack"

I had to really think hard about Jenny Taylor.

TheThoughtPolice · 26/02/2009 17:43

It doesn't really work though does it ? I think she was just trying to get in on the action

My dad worked with a chap called Robin Banks years ago.

Our gardner is called Kevin Twelvetrees and I once knew a gastro Dr called Dr Smellie.

I knew of a Miles Long....his parents could see nothing wrong with it but he maintained that "Hi I'm Miles Long" was NOT the best of chat up lines!!

and we have a Jo King who works in Asda, I snirk every time I see her name badge and wonder how many times a day she gets "You must be Jo King"

I know a Dr Corps

edam · 27/02/2009 18:53

no, Sidge, tell me it's not true!

edam · 27/02/2009 18:55

I knew a Theresa Green at school. Honestly. And her very daft parents didn't even make the effort to say ter-ay-za rather than ter-ee-za.

(They were truly hard of thinking, lived in a caravan behind the house they were building. Was only when it was finished that they realised there was now no way to remove the caravan from the site. So they had to live with it in the back garden for years as they didn't have enough money left to pay for a crane.)

I have known a Dr Hemlock and a Dr Slaughter in the past.

fryalot · 27/02/2009 18:59

I know two Mike Hunts. One of them doesn't realise why his name is funny.

I also know a Pete Bogg and I used to work with Teresa Green (she didn't know why her name was funny either)

I also know someone who named her son Lee then remarried to Mr. Lee, thereby changing her son's name to Lee Lee

A kid I went to school with, his dad was called Dick Schrank. Why he didn't go by Richard, I'll never understand.

Heated · 27/02/2009 19:34

I know an unfortunately named Peter File.

I also taught a Jenna, whose best friend was Natalia, shortened to Talia, so I had to make sure I always said "Talia, Jenna" and not the other way round.

Tidey · 27/02/2009 19:37

Someone told me they knew a person called Emma Royde, but I'm not sure I believe it.

Sidge · 27/02/2009 19:46

Sorry Edam it is 100% true!

I also worked in a hospital where there was a Dr De'ath and a Dr Ayvil (think of Austin Powers!), as well as a nurse called Tim Nurse - it used to make me snigger when he answered the phone as Staff Nurse Nurse.

edam · 28/02/2009 00:12

I once bumped into a Doctor Nurse. Can you imagine how irritating it must have been for the poor sod as a house officer, changing jobs every six months and getting all the jokes from a whole new bunch of colleagues - especially the nurses?
