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.

People I've worked with...or customers, or guys from school - all genuine:
Mavis Davis, Jean Bean, Joan Foan, Julie Dooley, Barbara Wanke (pronounced Vonque, not Wank-ee), Crawford Weir, Heathcliffe Edward Owen Bowen (his parents can't have liked him very much), Albert Hall.
Ooh, and Mr Richard Sole who signed his name R Sole and a Mrs Widebottom who insisted on having it pronounced Wid-E-Bot-Ohm (all 4 syllables)
And in town the other week I heard a mother chastise her annoying runt who was being a bit of a shit at the time by calling out "Ralph-Jay, stop that" - as if being called Ralph-Jay wasn't bad enough.
