In college there was...
...a guy called Stefan Le Bolloq.

His room-mate was Billy Kidd.

After initial mistrust, the police had a good laugh when the pair were arrested drunkenly stealing reg plates from cars.

The headmaster of my old school was called Mr. Bate
who for some reason liked the "Headmaster Bate" sign on his office door...

I also knew a boy when I was in Scouts called Ian Brown. Not overly funny, but when the register was called, with the second name before the first initial, it became
"Brown, I"

Porn Names
I know this doesn't really count, but it's fab anyway.

Porn names, for those of you that don't know, are where you take the name of your first pet and the first road you lived on in order to create the name you ought to use if you ever became a porn star.

Mine, for instance, would be Blue-tac Mawson (rubbish, I know).

My friend's is Pussy Cockburn. I love it. I might steal it for my own one day...

Like the Hexagonal Tool
Many have told of the famous Alan Key who worked for an Electronics company somewhere in the North West. He would always introduce himself thus:
"Hello, I'm Alan Key. Like the hexagonal tool!"
One person apparently replied:
"Oh yes, I'm Stanley Knife."
He wasn't though, he was just a great big tease I think.
I always thought that an ex-colleague was born with his very own porn-star name: Phil Chambers.
There used to be a woodwork teacher at my school called Mr Woods.
I had a succesion of amusingly named Physics teachers. They replaced Mr Tryfell with Mr Girdley. They both had beards and I think they may have been the same person.
I mustn't forget Edwin Loverseed as it has a poetic beauty all of it's own.

my aunt's boyfriend was probably christened richard
but for reasons best known to himself he goes by the name of Dick Strain

In five years of working in shops and reading peoples names on their credit cards I've never matched that, the best being Betty Broccoli. She was buying a vegetable peeler.

christians
are cruel to their children.

One of my EX-boyfriends (for good reason...) had a sister named "Christencia"

pronounced: "Chri-STENCH-ah"

...she turned out to be a model Christian girl, pregnant at 16 and now the unwed mother of about 4 screaming rugrats all with different fathers...GO JESUS! I blame the name. This is apprently the best name the braindead mother could think of after three miscarriages...seems to me like you're spending too much time in church and not enough time with the obstetrician, lady. *probably going to hell*

I had a brass teacher once
called Phil Mcafferty. Guess he should have been a dentist. Another famous brass player, ex-solo cornet with Black Dyke, Phil McCann. maybe he could audition for the part of the beggar on the B3TA home page.

I went to secondary school...
...with a girl who was called Crystal Mayes. Although she was born well before Richard O'Baldy came up with the idea, she understandably hated her parents by the time she reached the age of 12.
