Tokyo Sexwale is one of the greatest names ever. Unfortunately, he's an ex-ANC apartheid prisoner who has ended up on the Board of Barclays, the bank that bankrolled apartheid. As well as FIFA. Quite negotiable morals, that guy.

Danny Drinkwater, plays for Leicester I think
A surname that almost inevitably elicits the question, "do you?", to which the only answer can ever be "never touch the stuff"

My girlfriend works with a lady who has named her child 'Minty', which is fine if it wasn't for their surname being 'Thin'

Don't think so. I really hope she refers to her Dad as 'papa'...

Ta. I think I may have read about this guy in the King's alumni magazine at some point. The department still used to be called 'War Studies' when I was at King's.
It brings to mind one of the greatest names of all time:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_Friedrich
http://recollectionbooks.com/bleed/Encyclopedia/FriedrichErnst.htm
His best-known work is "Krieg dem Kriege" ('War against War'). Image search for this at your peril. It contains absolutely horrific images of war wounded (some shown on the second page linked to above).
"Ernst" means "serious" in German (as well as being, at the time, a common first name for men, like 'Ernest' in English). "Friedrich" means "rich/mighty in peace". It would have been a fairly unremarkable name if it hadn't been for his pacifist work. I thought for a long time that it must be a pseudonym, but apparently it's real.
