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.

I used to work for the NEAB examination board in Manchesterdoing the tedious job of checking that the examiners marks had been added up correctly in thousands upon thousands of GCSE exam papers.
To relieve the (considerable) tedium of the job, myself and my colleagues (consisting of an A-list dossing team of Summer-job students, stoners and agency monkeys) collected the stupidest names of candidates, and wrote them on the toilet wall, along with their candidate and exam centre numbers for verification purposes. I enclose the winning five, preserved in a diary entry from june 2 1995:
5: Hwlong Dong
4: Albert Hall
3: Lee Ho-Fuk
2: Neil Spacker
1: Salik Chundergrunt
There were countless more, lost to history thanks to poor short term memory retention. Now where did i put those Rizlas. . .
