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.

My ContributionWhen I was at school, the slower-learners were very politely called 'Essential Skills', and had their lesson in 'E-Block', hence their rather affectionate nick-name of 'E-Blockers'.....as well as 'Biffs', 'The Mongs' and 'Joeys Friends' (as in Joey Deacon, of course).
Anyway, one of these poor saps was called Michael Jackson, and one of his classmates was called Elvis Smith!!!!!! You couldn't make it up.
We were the only bunch of kids in the history of education who actually looked forward to Parents Evenings, as young Elvis' parents would turn up - with Mr. Smith Senior in his trademark leather bomber jacket, tight denim jeans, and his jet-black dyed hair in an immaculate quiff!!! All this to hear about his sons tantrums, pant-wetting and vulgar 4-letter outbursts. And how he could nearly count to 7!
Oh...and while I remember, my Dad used to work down the mines with a bloke called Jerry Attrick.
