My Name Is

[Bazile]

A colleague showed me the name of a chap

His name is Roy Alty

Do you think his parents deliberately thought about it when thay were naming him ?

[AlwaysConfused]

Yep, they knew what they were doing. Hippies, I'd say.

[BlackadderV]

Maybe, maybe not. Anyone with the surname Hunt should think long and hard before naming their child Michael.

[frugalfred]

..or Wilfred Hart - I actually knew someone with that name.

[jourdain2]

Used to register a boy who was called Peter Ennis - the register used the initial only of the first name.

[Mamyalynne]

I think sometimes it is deliberate, other times it is almost subconscious.

I am the first born - My Mother was Vera, she named me Lynne and was mystified why anyone made the connection that she had done it in honour of the singing forces sweetheart.

Before I went Self-employed, I worked as a Security Officer for a large local Company. we had the job of booking in Daily Contractors, one of whom was always reluctant to give his full name which of course we knew, but as we needed to enter him in the book we always asked Mr Wayne King.

I have posted may times of my wife's teaching days, when a child due in to the school in September was advised by his parents, Mr and Mrs Carte (they pronounced it 'Cart-aye) that they would be joined by their offspring - Orson.

Yes it is real.

No I am not making it up.

Friends of ours had an acquaintence in the US who name was Less, Richard Less, his with..... Ruth.... I always questioned this though until I met Dick... not bursting into a fit of laughter is my finest hour.. ;0)

[AlwaysConfused]

There used to be a cop on the local force called Robin Banks, which his colleagues found hilarious

[tonyav]

There was a lad in my class at school called Phillip Phillips.

We`ve got a funeral directors around here called Wake and Paine. Very appropriate!

[Peter Pedant]

The two Cross children, my father insisted on calling them George and Victoria but really their names were .....

[lardhelmet]

What about their cousin Brent Cross?
