-
When I was a kid I knew a lass called Pauline Titcone.
-
I used to knock about with Tony Hookham and his brother Alf.
Sorry I made that one up. :whistle:

Interesting that on my last post about Rebecca 'B-stard', the name has been amended, it's an automatic thing. If the family still use the name unaltered I bet they have terrible trouble trying to register for anything online.
Of course IT people had tremendous trouble dealing wiith the town name of Scunthorpe for similar reasons.

Guys, I chucked this one in on the old site. I know I can sometimes make some up, but this is 100% true. My mates mum was a driving instructor and one of her clients was a young asian girl called Fart Sultana

Was it Dino?

Never found out his name. She left about a week after I started.

Never found that out either.
It's a question I usually ask my workmates about their other halves too.

Played football against a kid from Maltby called Brian Bryan and taught a lad called called Jed Burrough. My mate swears he went to school with Ann Orange but its never been verified.
-
My dad has recently retired from teaching and has told me a few odd names he's encountered but the one that sticks in my head is a lass called Cherry Tart.
I also have a colleague called Ian Taylor. His wife is Jenny Taylor so we obviously refer to her as Genitalia. But not to her face!

My sister's class at school had Mary Hule (hairy mule) and Kay Malender (may calender) in it.

Unbeef Uckinlievable
Not someones name ... just celebrating that I may have originated a thread that goes to 2 pages !
I did once read in a Magazine of a woman who had just popped a sprog and had been agonising for about a week on what to call the Lad
After a week she said to her Husband " I have finally thought of a name - it just came to me after reading this Book - its by Orson Wells - so my vote is firmly for Orson now"
Nice name said the Husband but is it wise with our surname .... and at the bottom of the Letter was the Name Mrs A Carter
-
I had a black classmate called JoJo Coco Brown. I honestly thought it was a joke in poor taste, until I heard the teacher call his name for registration.

A mate has the surname MacKenzie-DuLieu. The DuLieu bit (pronounced duloo) is his Mother's maiden name and only appears on official documents. He is Mackenzie as far as anyone else is concerned. His first-born was called Finn for 2 weeks. Nowt wrong with Finn MacKenzie. They only realised their crass mistake when they went to register her as Finn Dulieu

A long running (and largely unfunny) joke with my kids is whenever they say half a ...something, my response is 'I used to go to scool with him!' : Arfur Minute/Arfur Glass/Arfur Nour/ Arfur Chance, etc.
