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.

nominative pre-determinismThere's a phenomenon that makes people end up doing jobs as adults which suit the names they were given as children - it's called nominative pre-determinism. Years ago, I worked for the Scottish Wildlife Trust, as did Rebecca Badger, Heath Brown and Forrest Craig! Fucking scary! I'm so glad my parents didn't call me Spastic Shitlicker!
