People with silly and / or stupid names

She's not dead like, was a cheap 5oth birthday present from me.

Have you given up on Electric Bhugaloo so quickly?

She's been hanging onto the gravestone for a few years now, but I'll get her to PM you anyway, she could do with a night out, you'll have to pay the train fare mind.

My favourite name in the local graveyard is Mabel Batman.

I think I’ve may have posted this one before but my favourite of all time is Dean Frost, or d frost, who is the M.D. of a refrigeration design and maintenance company’s for reals.

We had a Sunday Fango at work. Seemed such a jolly name! Also I always like Mousa Dembele, it's my favourite footballers name for saying out of my mouth, feels pleasant

Spoke to someone called Trushit today

Got sent this:

Florian Wimpissinger [...] suggests that the presence of PSA in some women’s squirted fluid and not others might be because the emissions from the Skene glands could travel into the bladder.

That has got to be made up. :)

Our new resourcing guy has the surname Kareer.

An elaborate ruse if so:

Just remember good old Sue Cobbledick. Her title has changed since this article, which kind of wrecks the joke...

Mate knows of someone in his old job with the name of Jimmy Savile. Works in child protection.

I saw the ID pass he had to create for him - can confirm its true.

Some lady keeps coming into my work and pronouncing her second name as "co-burn"
Its spelt "cockburn" she aint foolin anyone.

I liked this one--not a silly name as such, just nominative determinism at work.

A labyrinth of passages runs the 300m length of the building, each so thickly lined with ducts and wires that they have become narrow and low. When I visited a few weeks ago, Andrew Piper, the head of design for restoration and renewal, ran his hands across a jumble of cables and pipes, naming each in turn: “That’s data, that’s the fire alarm, that’s security systems, that’s optics for broadcasting, that’s heating, that’s cooling, that’s steam, that’s water. We are particularly keen to get rid of the old steam pipes,” he said. “If you have a steam leak, there can be real damage to people. High-pressure steam can cut through bone.”

She needn't. It is co-burn.

Just found this thread - love it.

Mounted policeman Dickie Bushell was on TV the other day if I remember correctly.

Some guy called Amani Jean added me on LinkedIn. That actually seems to be his name.
