I once had to ring a guy called Richard Ayres to arrange delivery of his car. The tempatation to call him Dick almost got the better of me .


Surely a name change for this poor kid is in order.

Mind you I bet he will be one of the few people who's real name is funnier than their "**** Star" Name .

Was in our doctor's surgery Wednesday afternoon to discover a family with a 1ish year old son that they'd named William. No problem until they called his name out over the tannoy. William Williams. Yes, their surname was Williams.

The mum was American, not sure if that made a difference......

A mate of mine works in a theatre in the West End.

A woman called Hilary ****** turned up to collect her tickets. She was American so she couldn't understand why the entire box office was in tears.

I knew a girl called Annette Curtin.

I was once at Heathrow when the tannoy paged a "Mr Forskin", and my uncle immediately said: " I bet if he sets off to go to a phone, loads of people will jump out and pull him back":

Anyway, isn't Drew a girl's name: Drew Barrymore, she of the flat face?

You would think parents would have some consideration for the solid, unforgiving pi$$ taking that their child is going to be victim of when they are given a stupid name.
