Reading the thread about names you would have liked to use but didn't have the 'guts'! Has got me thinking about the people I have actually read about or knew. Here are just a few examples...

Celia Melia (wife of Michael Melia, eastenders Eddie Royle)
Mary Christmas (She gets married in July!)
Chyna Plate (she would have been Daniel if she was a boy)
June March (she is married)

I remember creasing up in bed one night to hear (I think on John Peel's R4 show) on the radio about a US family with the surname HOGG, who had called their 2 daughters Ima and Ura....

After looking at www.yourenotme.com (recommended on the favourite website thread) - couldn't believe there is someone with the name Mr (or Ms) Lovebottom!
