hogso Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 In my job I encounter some really odd names. In fact, rather sadly, it's one of the highlights of my job Oh how we titter at some of the things people have changed their name to, or worse, were given when born. I just got thinking about some of the best ones I've heard as I'm working on a case at the moment for a Francis Jeffers - who does indeed live in Liverpool. Don't think it's that Franny Jeffers though. Saw one of the best names EVER a couple of weeks ago. A guy changed his name to; Dr Jo Jo Magic Space Monkey Genius. It's up there with some of my other favourites I have encountered, such as Bacardi Ann Coke, Hurricane Serenity Star, Monkey Skunky, and Lola Molly Poppy Seed Anyone know anyone who has a weird or wonderful name? Share one with a celeb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danwichmann Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 The best real one I've heard is Dover Disney, but that sounds pretty boring compared to the ones above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I work in a bank with Rob182, I'm sure he has a few. One that springs to mind for me was a 'Mrs P Enis'. I've never seen any names as weird as your examples though, where do you work?? And you're right, best part of my job too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAVe80 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 My mate has a job where he sits creating customer accounts all day, for the company he works for, and will often email me the ones with the most bizarre names he comes across. I think the funniest one was, Mr Ramjam D Funkyboogaloo-Smythe. Which I am told is 100% genuine, although I'd imagine changed by Deed Poll.

villa_kie Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Drew Peacock...also know of a family, last name Pipe, who called their first son Dwain. About 6 years ago, when i was in sixth Form, our school made the national press as the school was employing an active BNP menber even though it was a catholic school. Three of my mates gave an interview to the Guardian and had their photo taken to accompany the article. when the reporters asked there names one told them his own, the next gave a lad who was the school idiot and the final one gave Drew Peacock as his. Surely enough the next morning all three names were printed underneath the photo in a full page article!! even the teachers loved it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choffer Posted August 12, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted August 12, 2011 My school was one of those which had boards all over the place with names of school captains, rugby captains, etc on them. Clearly in the '30's the big man in the school was Peter Enis. School captain, rugby captain, athletics captain, head prefect, for several years - P.Enis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate went to school with a (West Indian) brother and sister called Castle - the boy was Windsor, the girl was Cinderella. He also had a job at Selly Oak hospital and swears blind he once dealt with a patient called Orson Carte. My younger daughter had a classmate called Max Whisker. And right here at Bradford University we used to have a Professor W. C. McSporran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
