People with Stupid NamesThere are hundreds of unfortunate people out there with silly names desparately coping with the evil their parents perpetrated upon them at birth.
So far, I've met a woman called Rusty Tharp, a child health consultant called Peter Files and have the business card for "Fab Boolaky" on my desk.
We'd like you to tell us about the people you've met or work with that have silly, inappropriate or frankly wierd names.

I'm responsible for averting some disastersWe (nurses in Maternity Ward) have talked many parents out of stupid and/or embarrassing names:
Clitoris ("But it's so pretty!")
LaTrina ("It's a toilet where?")
Harley (Not bad but the family was named Davidson)
Nair (Name of a hair removal product. what were they thinking?)
We have been unsucessful more often, sad to say:
Chon ("you know, as in Chon Kennedy!")
Velvet Boes
Kandy Kane
Veleena Fritz
twins James and Jim ("What do you mean they're the same name?")
and my two faves--
YoHighness DaFines' ('Yo' for short)
twins Chip and Dale, named not for the Disney chipmunks, but for the nudie dancers.
Our friend's name Uwe Pleban is pronounced "OOvah PLAY bahn" He got some junk mail addressed by someone who had obviously only heard his name.
The name was Hoover Fleabomb
