Where did you go to school? Drew Peacock went to my school -- but it's a all-boys school
Probably not the same one then. I went to school in Essex, but I dunno where he went when he left.

Carl,

there was some of the WK equipment in the pressure calibration lab where I used to work. I always assumed it was Mr Wayne and Mr Kerr. The guy I knew was real though.

My daughter is Rhiannon.. next kid is on that way and cannot come up with something as nice in our opinion, want another R...

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
I cannot work it out either??

There used to be a Policeman that gave talks at the school called Richard Head (already mentioned I know) used to take ages to calm the class down....

All so at school the local chinese takeaways boy was called
**** Kit Lo(Sp?) he called himself Kit.. and only on the occasional register calling (new teacher for example) was his full name ever used.

Couple of genuine ones:

We had a famous policyholder on the database - a lovely old lady called - Fanny Tickler Used to be a ritual for new starts to be told this and then made to look up the details to confirm it was true Sadly she passed away recently

Also know of a chap who wrote into the local Tourist Information Office looking for a brochure - his name was Everard Koch

There was an Everard Dick in my School. Search the internet for verification, it's for real. Rumours of a sister called Ophillia are unfounded.

This aint the Muppet Show!

I hate my name, but there's nothing bad that can be read into it, but apparently my Dad wanted to call me Rachel, my parents argued, so my Dad spelt my name without an "i" on purpose.

Won't get many Clares these days, far too normal!

My daughter is Hollie - she is blessed with an unconventional spelling too!

My taiwanese contact is called Rabbit Fu - no kidding. There is also some poor blighter called Wing Wing.

I think the recent spate of names are great - this generation will be idnetified by bad music and names from Aussie soaps.
