People with silly and / or stupid names

Had a friend in high school who's name was Paul Moore. His step-fathers surname was Sincock. If he hyphenated his name he would've been Paul Moore-Sincock.

IN A PEAR TREEEEEEEE

Ha!

My Mum's husband works with a bloke at Cambridge University called Dr. D'eath

I believe the apostrophe was added when his career path was clear

School caretaker was called De'Ath, I only discovered this years later when he was a patient of mine. He was always referred to as David at school

Some speculation here:

I would find it extremely surprising if in origin it had anything to do with 'death'. If it was 'de Ath' at first, that would be more convincing.

A doctor of my acquaintance swears blind that there is a London doctor/anaesthetist combo who work together a lot called Dr De'Ath and Dr Coffin. Too perfect to believe tho.

FIRST day of Christmas.

dammit

There's someone at the DfT who's called Suku Phull.

I heard Megan Bacon's name called out at a graduation last week

Seen in the Half the Road documentary the other day: Jesus Lamb. Great name.

Came across this chap through my dad, when he was at Atlantic Container Lines. But he never let on he understood why we found his name so funny...

Frankly, if people completely mispronounce names, the joke's on them. :)

I met a guy called Mike Weir - he introduced himself as Michael.

I went out with a girl called Iona Ward; her parents honeymooned on the the Scotish Island. I was her fault that she went on to be a nurse :-) TRUE !

The Dutch project manager for thawing frozen roads .... Gerhard Winters - I kid you not.

Just got an email from Shaun Reeks.

That's got to be character building.

A friend in the LTA reminded me of this:-

"
He has served as a consultant to the CAP Toxicology Resource Committee, as a member of the U.S.Anti-Doping Agency Review Board, and as a member of the DHHS Drug Testing Advisory Board. He is a lecturer and has co-authored numerous presentations and publications dealing with drug analysis, athletic drug testing and toxicology.

I went to school with a Matthew Reeks, kids are horrible.

Mrs Hell knows a lady from HK who came to live in the states - i'm reliably informed that many people who do this refer to themselves by a more western sounding name in lieu of their harder to pronounce by cracker-tongue chinese name for the sake of convenience.

Fanny Pong.
