There used to be a barber in Lincoln called Les Hare.
For those readers with an interest in the sciences, check out this page (yes it is genuine)
Abstract
The aromaticity of arsoles has been debated in the literature for years. Some measures indicate arsole to be non-aromatic, others attribute at least slight aromaticity to the molecule. Here, we take a ring-current view of aromaticity, and study arsole in more detail. We make comparisons to the nitrogen analogue pyrrole, the phosphorous analogue phosphole, and the carbon analogue cyclopentadiene. The newly developed gauge-including magnetically induced currents (GIMIC) method provides a direct measure of the current flow in molecules. Using GIMIC, we show that arsole indeed is almost half as aromatic as pyrrole. Phosphole comes in between. Even cyclopentadiene is found to possess a moderately strong induced ring current, thus questioning the accepted classification of this molecule as a non-aromatic reference system

Perhaps Ben Dover has a sister called Eileen.
And Annette Curtin remains one of my favourites.
But in reality I did learn with some horror a few years ago that some friends of mine whose surname is Nott were planning to call their baby William if it was a boy. (I suggested that if it were a girl they could call her May - fortunately they got the point that Will Nott was, in truth, not a happy name to saddle someone with.)
Anecdotally I have heard of someone called Abraham Nurmal (universally referred to as Ab Nurmal, of course).

I knew a couple in Scotland whose surname was Breen.
They had a lucky escape when they had a baby boy.
I asked what they were going to call him & they said, "Thomas".
I then reminded them that in Scotland most people called Thomas end up being called Tam.
So...... he would be Tam Breen!!!![Big Grin](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
A swift rethink followed.....

My wife had a teacher named Otto Mobiles. There was a doctor in one suburb I lived in as a kid named S.K.Y Lau. The jeweller who made our wedding rings in Texas was named John Phlegm (yes, phlegm).
I worked with a Paul Keating and a Tyrone Power once (same work-place too).
