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.

So tired I forgot my own mother's name........In my tired and exhausted state (MA dissertation due in soon) I forgot the hilarity of my mother's maiden name. My mum's family are German and Dutch, and her maiden name is Maas (pronounced mars). Not only do people mispronounce it all the time (which used to drive my mum mad) but it also meant that she used to have a lot of trouble getting her school travel pass each year, because the ticket man would think she was taking the piss when she asked for a 'season ticket for Maas'...
Also, my cousin, who shares the same surname is called Justin. I would guess he gets the same kind of jokes directed at him... poor guy, he is a great bloke as well
