Where do people get these names?

Hot on the heels of discovering that the latest round of security leaks in the USA was by a lady named [color=#404040][font=Helmet, Freesans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Reality Leigh Winner, it now seems that one of Cardinal Pell's sex-abuse accusers is Lyndon Monument.[/font][/color]

[color=#404040][font=Helmet, Freesans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Presumably his older brother is named 'Washington'?[/font][/color]

What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be off honeymooning somewhere exotic?

[Happy Jack]

I am, I am ... Tottenham Court Road.

Well alright then!

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.

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. Feeblebunny

[toneknob]

This means nothing to me

[Geek99]

i was once in Florida and the (very pleasant) young lady serving me at the Publix supermarket had the unusual name "precioulicious"

[Osiris]

I have dealings at work with a woman in the Philippines called Shiny Zhou. Makes me laugh every time an email pops up from her

[EliasMooseblaster]

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.

Drew Peacock?

Frank.

[machinehead]

And I genuinely knew a Howard Pease...

Is that your real name??

[acidbass]

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.

[Oopsdabassist]

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]

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.

A driver on my brothers old round was Robin Basted

[FinnDave]

My school didn't approve of first names, just initials and the surname. Which was unfortunate for young master Peter Uddle.

[T-Bay]

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.

Mr Trump's nominee to be the next ambassador to the UK is a chap named Woody Johnson.

I think this guy wins.
