Juan Quar, have you posted to this tailor made QOTW?
I once met a fellow in Sydney who did have the unfortunate name of Wayne Carr.

In the Navy you have the ranks of Seaman and Leading Seaman. Yes, I have met a Seaman Staynes and a Seaman Seamen. Shits and giggles over the PA for a Seaman Staynes.

A few years back there was a Minister for Racing in NSW whose name was Richard Face.

I went to school with
a Simon Staines. Our music teacher had an accent & insisted on being called "Master". His surname was Bates. His favorite student was Simon.
Music was funny for all except those 2!
True story.

I don't think
your teacher would be a wanker if he called himself that. No touching allowed! No sense of humour!

Ben Dover
The unfortunate name I called out whilst doing the register for a brand new intake of secondary school students. None of them seemed to think anything of it. I couldn't see that lasting.

You would think the poor kid would call himself Benjamin.
Parents - they should be licensed to name children. Glad you kept a straight face.

Yep
Like the idiots who named their kid Drew. Mr and Mrs Peacock showed themselves to be real morons.

My daughter had a teacher called Miss G Stringer, and I once worked in an office with a guy who insisted everyone call him Michael.. his surname was Hunt.
(Freakmandu, Tue 22 Feb 2011, 6:27, closed)

I can imagine that guy saying his name very stringently and a teeny bit high pitched - "Michael, it's Michael".

I certainly have posted, possibly on the first page
with an experience of possible adolescent DIY sounding.

Names - hmmm, I once worked on a ward where in a sideroom there was a gentleman with a hugely inflamed testicle.

As staff tend to refer to patients by their condition - The Leg in bed 1, The Spleen in bed 4 and so on - the poor bloke was naturally known as The Goolie. This worked well until a Mrs Goolie arrived in the sideroom next door.

How long did it take for someone to call the bloke Mr Goolie?
Not long. Not long, at all. Poor man.
