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.

Pass by nameNew Scientist ran (and gave up due to the vast amount of input) a letters page section on nominative determinism.
My favourite ND day included meetings with Quentin H Todslaughter (and no he wouldn't reveal what the H stood for) and Cornelia Boldyreff of SWURCC (which I assumed was an anagram for something particularly rude)
