Went to school with a knacker whose first name was Elvis, of course no one dared mock his name for fear of stabbing, theft, burning of house etc

This is honestly true - I know a woman called Gay Hoare. (She married a man called Hoare.) I don't know why she doesn't go by Gabrielle, or whatever her full first name is.

Yea, the story goes that when he was thinking of moving over to the States, some punter who was interviewing him regard working on TV over there recommended that he changed the name.

Imaging that - from the country where people have names like "Randy Persons".

An american I know was getting some smart answers over here a few months ago because he was introducing himself to people by saying "hello I'm Randy". He changed his intro line quick enough after the first day.:)

Capt'n Midnight

The head of the catholic church in the philippines used to be Cardinal Sin.

Mike Rowe. A kid from Canada who had a web site. He's a web designer so naturally he called it www.MikeRoweSoft.com

Microsoft, however, is not amused.

It has demanded that he give up his domain name. In November, Rowe received a letter from Microsoft's Canadian lawyers informing him he was committing copyright infringement.

"I didn't think they would get all their high-priced lawyers to come after me," Rowe said.

He wrote back asking to be compensated for giving up his name. Microsoft's lawyers offered him $10 in U.S. funds.

"A prime examploe of a bad choice of name? Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's child's name. I wonder how many seconds it will take for other kids to turn: Shiloh Pitt to Piloh Sh*tt?"

One of my friends is a District Nurse. Part of her patch is in the not-so-high-class part of the town, and some of her "clients" have just named their daughter Chlamydia. Because they "liked the sound of the name". I swear you couldn't make this up!

My friend chose Luke as a name for his son, just so he could say "Luke, I am your Father".

One good thing about the current trend to use chavish names is that in 20 years it will be really easy for employers to whittle down a pile of CVs.

As long as teenage mums can spell the kids name on the benefits form, who cares?

The worst name I ever heard (and this is true) - Euryn. Do you think the parents were taking the p*** when they came up with that?

The funniest name I know someone with is Patrick Ennis, The first time I say some of his mail addressed to Mr P Ennis I almost died laughing! Classic!

When I was in banking there was a Chinese lady who had an account - Mrs Yum Yum Yuk (known afectionatly to the staff as "spit don't swallow")

I knew a guy called Neil Armstrong (really).
Every time he said anything, someone somewhere went "beep".
That must get pretty old after a while.

Ivana Trump's daughter : " Ivanka ".
Ivanka Trump : that's how her mother got famous in the first place.....
Think about it .

I knew a boy who went to the same school as me called Wayne - thats not an unusual name of course but his mum and dad were Mr & Mrs Kerr.
