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.

HK namesin Hong Kong a lot of people take Western first names for business purposes... some of the results can be quite interesting. "Apple" was alive and well long before Gwyneth had her baby. And apparently it's not too outlandish to call yourself Mettanich or Cinderella either.
My fave, though, is the man who went by Sex Chang. This is most definitely not an urban legend, as my bf's dad met him and got his business card and everything as proof. After receiving more than a few tactful suggestions from business colleagues, he did the smart thing and changed his name. To Robot.
