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.:)

Desirée Titz

This was a name I particularly remember (no, I don't know why) from a great list taken from US telephone directories and published years ago in a book by Richard Boston called Baldness be My Friend. I wish I still had it, cos the full list is incredible.
