    List them, but they must be real. No "Seymour Butts" etc, unless you can linky the real person.

    I'd have thought 'nipplenuts' was pretty unfortunate for your parents to call you but hey...:D :p

    I remember reading in a newspaper years ago about a
    young lad christened Drew Peacock.

    Apparently the parents only twigged after googling the name!

    worked with a lass in london whos surname was 'Haughney'; me being

    a) Irish and
    b) Polite

    would always make a point of enunciating the 'gh' in the middle of it to make it sound like the way we'd have pronounced 'Haughey', though obv with an 'n' sound in there also

    Of course my colleagues, and the girl herself didn't, and it always just ended up that she sounded 'Horny'

    How we laughed...

    I had a bit of an issue with piles (sp?) when I was in Australia and had to get a rather large one lanced.

    Funnily enough, the doctors name was:

    Dr. Rick Alterator - (He sure did).

    There was a guy I used to work with called "Bent Kristensen". He had just moved over to Dublin from one of the Nordic countries. People would laugh whenever dealing with him. For a while he was thinking he was big man on campus, but he sang a different tune when he found out what his name means over here! ...from that day forward he wisely dropped the T at the end of his name!

    There's a guitarist who plays with David Gates (from the band Bread, for those of us old enough to know :D ), when he tours. His name is Randy Flowers. From his picture, you can see he's not as dainty as you'd think!

    "The name Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 - pronounced Albin - was also rejected by authorities in 1996. The boy's parents had chosen the name as a protest against Swedish naming laws"

    Ha....Genius!

    Yeah, Ruu, I was guilty of the "Best Real Name " thread, which inspired this one. Art really will eat itself ;)

    Anyhoo
