The title of this thread was called 'People's names' If you don't find this hilarious, I suggest you see a shrink or the undertaker.

The very name Debbie conjures up large breast images.

The best name I ever heard was my old boss who was called Miles Dexter.

Surely he should have been a secret agent.

On the way into the British Museum with my brother yesterday, we were stopped to answer a questionnaire by a young man named John Bull.

A mate once was on an Open Day at the Royal Free with a chap named Quentin Brownsword. And I work with a lady named Anastacia Konstantinopolou.

re: People's Names

There is a legal academic called Brownsword. He wrote an article with a colleague which was on the Criminal Justice and Penology reading list. Citation "Bottoms and Brownsword". There was a case called Nob v Vadge (you pronounce the "v" in case citations as "and"). There was also a case called Mash v Murrell. It was about a cargo of potatoes going mushy while a ship was docked in Malta.

I once had to negotiate a contract with someone called Sherlock Doris.

There was also a family of Smellies at my Prep School. Irony is that the remaining Smellie, who was a couple of years above me, actually WAS Smelly.

There was a barrister in the 20s called A.Pellant. Which made the law reports confusing when he was appearing for the Respondents.

re: People's Names

We had a lady here who retired last year called Joyce Joyce. (She married a Joyce)

There's a bra manufacturer in Leicester called Wyndham Pigeon. (He is in life a bigger ársehole than even his name might suggest).

There is a Eric Hunt who used to be a sewing machine part supplier here.

A mate told me of how a family he knew of called the Philes, decided in their infinite wisdom, to name their son, Peter! Peter Phile!!!!!!

We genuinely had a Wayne Coates in my class at school.
A Tarquin Trollope works in our "Bristol" branch at work.
In the forces I had an Adjutant,Capt Cox whose daughter Carole married a Lt by the name of Daniel Hucker.

They became Mr & Mrs Cox-Hucker!(OK! not really abrieviated in that order) But that is what they were affectionately known as.

Why does life in the forces seem more inherently comedy than in civvy street?

re: People's Names

It has always been said that fact is more often stranger than fiction?

I still recall the names on the Theatre list the last day I worked in the hospital with the opthalmic team,it read;

1/Holmes
2/Watson
3/Archer
4/Bowman
5/Lane
6/Street
7/Rhodes

Almost as if it were a link conundrum from 1 to 7?

We had a bloke working with us up to a few days ago, whose name was Bankole Jones, but for some obscure reason he preferred to be known as "BJ".

This created great fun for the site managers who needed to contact him each week. They would never phone his direct number, but would always call the switchboard girls first and say, "BJ please".

When I first left school I used to work for a furniture retailer by the name of Lefton Bros, the boss had a son called Ivor Lefton! For some reason, he seemed an angry young man!

I occasionally have to speak to a woman called "Summa Lovin" (can't guarantee the spelling). Unsurprisingly she's as miserable as sin.

re: People's Names

My American cousin, Eve, met and married a Korean-American called Inn Ho, naturally after two years he did give her the old 'eave 'o, by ending up in a mental hospital. True but sad, and amusing all at the same time, I should write for Eastenders......
