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.

Poor sodsI went to school with an Aubrey Edmund Berkley Collins and a Jolyon Plum. Whilst Aubrey became everything that his name might suggest (with an added dash of overenthusiastic perversion), Jolyon fought bravely against the restrictions of his name and became the hardest lad in school. He had quite thick glasses too so I guess it was either buckle to the name or start dishing out the kickings. And oh, what kickings. He actually left a footprint on my head.
My brothers kids have quite an odd selection of names between them but family honour holds me back from spilling them. I'll just let it slip that they are named after WWE wrestlers, wizards, rock 'n' roll singers and members of Hawkwind so you can play your own guessing game.
