I used to have a friend called Richard Hardon (work that one out)

And I just got an email from a guy called Lars R. Vadjina, I know it is spelt wrong and he isa German but I thought it was funny.

 

Shunty: laffed at your bit about pronunciation of names without the "T". We get that here too, as well as the end letter off almost every word missing. If you ask a kid round here what town he lives in, the answer will be "Scunnor'"
My two are Mark and Gary--two names the kids at school can do nothing evil with!

 

Don't be so sure....

 

I knew of a girl who decided they liked the name of the ex American football playing, wife murdering chappy Simpson. (Just to give you and idea about this girl - t'was her third child by a third different father....) Rather than call it Oranthal James, shortening to O.J. (the bit she liked the sound of......



....she called it Oj. I kid you not.

I had to send a cheque to HM Customs recently. The contact was Ms A. Pothecary.

Her parents must either have been very stupid or just hated her.

Bros

 

....If thats the case, i'll send him over to you MarkO - Get yer wallet out!!!!

BB

 

My wallet's full already, and besides - he couldn't afford me.

 

Used to know a guy called Slade, i was named after one of the Beatles although the story goes it was a toss up between Paul and Ringo, i think i got off quite lightly!


Probably an urban myth but here goes
The owner/founder of the Lear Jet companies daughter is named Crystal Chanda Lear

Girkl i was working with took a call, asked 'who it was' reply Mike Hunt - she fell into fits of giggles and put the phone down. She later phoned him back and apologised to which he said 'I get that alot'

MarkO

I thought developers were 2 'a' penny.

i'll give him 1 pence, find a mate and we'll do a deal!!!

When I was at school I hated my name - now I like it 'cos it's different. The only problems I have now is that with the Hull accent when they say "'phone" it's sounds like "fern", and also I get the pi$$ taken 'cos me sisters name is Heather. My Mother still pleads inocent with this and says she didn't realise until I was 4 and my sister was 1 and her old police sergeant told her that we sounded like a herbacious border.

I also work with a bloke called Mike Hunt and (this is the best one and it's gods honest truth) a girl called Jenny Taylor! (think about it)

 

I know a "Harley Davidson"...cheers he must still be thanking Mum and Dad now

My first son will be called Valentino (Tino for short) and the Mrs has agreed. She has an unusual name and beleives that it's done her more good than harm, so it was an easy victory.

It was either that or Barry or Randy or Wayne

 

Most kids in Bracknell are called "oi" or "you little ****".

At least thats what the mums call them.

 

Once had a client where the head of the Dutch division was:

Aree Kok

True!

 

I know someone with 2 kids

A. Nurse
P. Nurse

The parents plead ignorance/innocens

Paul

 

The wife swears she knows someone called Vonda Dicks.
I wonder if she is.

 

I know a "Helen Highwater", which makes me chuckle.

As does a lass called Sailah in our office. "Hello Sailah". etc.

We have a Randy Koch working in our Oakland office, and I know Frank Fuchs. (Which, upon mentioning his name, it is now the law to say "oh does he?")

It's things like these that keep the days a little shorter

 

I know someone called Iona Parrott.

 

One of our local ministers is called Albert Bogle. Sounds ok until you find out his wife is called [badsp]Henrietta[/badsp]

 

I used to have a teacher called Mr Black. He was really pleased with himself because he'd called his kids Matthew and Penelope and his wife hadn't worked it out........

 

There was a Drew Peacock at our school. He left

Not nice

 

A guy her has called his boy Jordan Tiger

I have called my boys, Jake, Samuel & Harry, the new on is going to have a rock hard name like concrete

 

I always wanted to have a son and call him Dansak...after the curry.

I also knew of someone called Drew Peacock, poor git. We also have a customer called Paul Mycock , which could be a useful name.

If i get a mo I'll check our dtatbase tomorrow as I know we have some aumsing names like Dick Crane, what a boaster eh ?

And we also used to have a list of bogus names that the new statrted was asked to call up including the Jenny Talyor, some dude from a Chuch, you know Mr B Leaver.

Every year we invite Mr Whatmuff to a seminar. He always replies, so he really exists. Or it's a damn good wind-up

 

Guy in Marlborough changed his name to ... Danny Chevy Camero. Takes all sorts...!!He looks a right country Bumpkin!!

 

I had a flat next to Cherry Orchard many years ago.
You see some good ones if you work in a hospital, among our favorites:
Manganita Bustamante
Iona Dick
Will Barrow
More when I remember them.
You get some good spoof ones on Wogan, 8am weekdays

 

I used to work for a large Swiss company that employed the spectacularly unfortunately named Helmut Suucker

 

I once knew a

Wayne Kerr

absolutely true. Everyone used to call him Pidge as in pidgeon, he used to keep them when he was a kid. Only found out by accident, nice guy - but his parents!!!???

 

Originally posted by Clarebabes:Where did you go to school? Drew Peacock went to my school -- but it's a all-boys school

Maybe there's two of them

PS: Toltec -- there's a fairly well known company called Wayne Kerr Electronics.

If you ever go on the Electoral role database the country has several Mickey and Minnie mouses !
