A Name In Question

[Biccylova]

I was introduced recently to a young man called Butters, when I asked my oh later how he got such a nickname oh insisted that is the chaps actual christian name, I don't know if to believe it or not and wonder if any of you folks have ever heard of a Butters.

Only ever heard of it as the nickname for the South Park character Leopold "Butters" Stotch.
It's a common enough surname though and in some circles surnames are often also used as first names.

In a world where people can name their kids Chardonnay, Track, Bristol, or Fencepost, there is very little else that can surprise me.

Not here though. :-)

I used to work with a guy who had the middle name 'Tulip'.
Perfectly normal first name and surname, just Tulip in between.

It might have been 'borrowed' from this:

When I was at uni there was a Professor Butter, and the rumour was that he had a son called Roland

[Quoi]

i thought 'butters' was an ugly girl.
everything fine but her face
I remember a song in the charts with it but cant find it

[aelmpvw]

i wonder if professor butter was the head?

Tilly...Fencepost was meant satirically, although if someone can name their child Track.......!

[Tilly2]

Thank goodness for that, Mikey!

Tilly...I wonder how many girls were named Chardonnay before "Footballers Wives" was aired in 2002 ?

Did you know that the boy's name "Gary" was almost unheard of before Gary Cooper came along ? And he changed his name from Frank to Gary, after Gary, Indiana ?

Some great pairings here

Some people were named after the place they were born, Florence India and so on, not met anyone called Back of a taxi yet .....

[Berniecuddles2]

[naomi24]

I've never heard of it, but I'd like to know the thinking behind it..... or on second thoughts, perhaps not. ;o)

[Sipowicz]

Is he a cheeky chappie?

[Patsy33]

I heard he was a character. :-)

[Patsy33]

I heard he was a slippery character :-)
