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.

A few I came across in my old job,which I may have made up, but nevermind:
- Freya Badger (some kind of eco-warrior?)
- Dick Wood (I'd like to believe this. It might have been Woody Cock, or it could just have been a bland, slightly funny name that got embellished in the telling.)
- Olive Green / Blanche White (popular amongst old ladies, but its just laziness on the part of the parents, if you ask me.)
- Theresa Green (I remember looking this one up, so its definiately real. edit: its also been mentioned several times before. Sorry...)
Many more that I've forgotten, but my Dad knew a Mr and Mrs Head, who named their daughter Sonya. They wondered why he was laughing when they told him...
He also worked with a man called Robert Palmer, who always gave Dad a blank look when asked "Are you addicted to love?"
Quick note to any prospective parents: naming your daughter "Phrankie" is neither big nor clever. She will be laughed at in admin offices the lenght and breadth of the country.
