Through work i have met a Lachlan Mclaughlin, a very bright & bubbly girl who came in & announced "hi i'm Brandy" in a beautiful american sing song voice (where is the vomit smiley?) & a Tom Artoe
one of my best friends always wanted a little girl called India........but she married Mr Currie.
i could also write down half the names out of my daughters school phone book- there are some pretty ridiculous ones there.
the head teacher from my daughters old school got married in the half term & said she was coming back as Mrs Tickell which i really thought should have been pronounced as Tickle. that would have been a lot more fun for the little kids

Any particular reason why? India is an unusual name.

The girl who orders our stationary is called Bic!
I also hope that Mr. Tea might take up the offer of bringing us refreshments throughout the day

My sister worked for a real estate office and was amused to get a call from a Mr House, funny enough given her occupation but she asked for his first name - Maxwell!

I used to live in Florida where we had a lot of Haitian people so many of our clients had very unusual names - my favourite was a gentleman called Charitable Surprise. Another yank trait was to put a "La" in front of regular names ie Latonya, LaSharon etc plus wierd and unecessary hyphens and commas in names. It was hard to tell sometimes what were the first names and surnames!

I did share an office once with a Richard Bird - he never did see the joke.

We have a file for the Wanke family and another client and his wife's name is E.Colli

MC

Not sure whether this is his name or occupation!?!?

my partners mates surname is fullelove (ah...i like it).
my uncle is headmaster at a school that has about 50% travellers kids....they have some right cracking names. he had to call out a Tiggy Top Wilcox in assembly recently (wtf)....and has a whole list of chelseas, britneys, romeos and ronans.

i used to work with a nurse from overseas whose surname was nursimooloo...she was sister nursimooloo!

Not as good as some of the other's but always brings a smile to my fizzog: my nan's name was, 'Queenie May Florentine Law'!!!!

Used to crack me n my bro up as kids!

Fantastic!

Oh dear...is that for real?

As far as I know. It certainly looks real.

What is it with these people . If your name is Richard Holder,DONT shorten it to Dick Holder. And if your name is William Stroker, you've got so many options, Bill Stroker, Will Stroker, but NOT Willie Stroker.

Obviously these guys don't have the childish minds we have.

There is a car dealer called Dick Loveit

Our kids dentist is called Mr. Payne !! really !! he's been my wife's dentist since she was a kid.

Our daughter is called India (she doesn't like it at the moment but we've told her she'll love it later in life)

There's a kid in one of our kid's class called Talula (sp?)

I've heard that aussie is terrible for kids names but as ours are Zak, India and Jedd I suppose we can't talk!

Andy.

Pollyana Darling
Yip and Yap Yen (twins)

Oh, and when I was growing up, there was an urban myth about a Mr Gotobed who lived in a village called Little Snoring.

I seem to remember looking it up in the phonebook and he was listed!
