SICbass Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I once worked in a show where the dancers were hired from the States. One was inflicted with the, in my opinion, incredibly vile name of Wealthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earbrass Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Somewhere I have a slim volume called Remarkable Names of Real People. I haven't seen it in some years, but a few of the entries stand out in my memory: Heidi Yum-Yum Gluck Zita Apathy Mrs. Belcher Whack Whack and my personal favourite... Gaston J.

EliasMooseblaster Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Years ago, I took down the details of a customer called Penny Less. When she noticed me trying to suppress a smirk, she explained that "Less" was her husband's surname, and that apparently it could have been worse - before he met her, he nearly married a woman called Ruth. My sister also reported receiving an inquiry from somebody called Breezy Pleasance, which sounds like some kind of air freshener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acidbass Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 There's a drummer in NI here whose full name is actually Robin Hood. Also there's a guy who changed his name by deed poll to Crazy Horse Invincible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oopsdabassist Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Worked with some South African guys a few years back, Innocent Zulu was one, and Funny Zumboga, whose accent was so thick you couldn't understand a word he said, even if you tried lip reading him!

Geek99 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I used to work in Macon, Georgia for a guy called Richard. His secretary was filipina and called Ephaniah. They liked shorter names and asked people to refer to them as Dick and Phanny. Honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnDave Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 My school didn't approve of first names, just initials and the surname. Which was unfortunate for young master Peter Uddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bay Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I have come across a few at work over the years but sadly can't mention them, one I came across not work related that stuck in my mind was a lad called Dwayne Pipes, to be fair his mother had remarried but you would think they would have stuck with his original name. When I first heard it I thought someone was pulling my leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
