Well, [i]that[/i] narrows things down a bit. I live in Wiltshire, so I must know her. ๐Ÿ™„
You [i]do[/i] know how big Wiltshire is, don't you? [3,485 km2 (1,346 square miles)].

WGAF how big Wiltshire is?

Did you feel a burning need to join in with the thread in spite of having nothing relevant to offer?

I was deliberately vague; had I said Chippenham would you have demanded to know which street as you don't know her and you think you should know everyone in Chippenham?

From the article on things that have been allowed or not

New Zealand: Number 16 Bus Shelter (yes); Yeah Detroit (no)

Well Number 16, how did you get that name..... what about your brother McDonalds Car Park?

There is a child named "Anakin" in Blackburn. Poor lad looked mortified in the photos taken for the local paper.

I loved the New Zealand version- a family were banned from calling their kid 4Real so they changed it to Superman.

As a fairly hippyish earth loving romantic I wanted to call our daughter 'Rainbow'. I was outvoted. probably for the best.

"Anakin" is a [i]real[/i] name isn't it? at least the pronunciation, spelling may have morphed a bit between countries...

My next door neighbor growing up, a Girl, with a Norwegian Dad, was called "Anneken" (similarly pronounced [i]Anna~Kin[/i]) [url= http://www.nordicnames.de/wiki/Anneken ]it's Nordic see[/url]...

She would have been named late 70's maybe 1977-78, not sure the Star wars connection would have sufficiently penetrated popular culture at that point to result in her being named after Darth...

We had someone for interview here once whose name was Steve Starlight.

Apparently he was heavily into a well known hit West End musical.

I remember taking PE classes at a local primary school for one of my A-levels, and asking two girls to tell me what their real names were after being told Levi and Porsche. I was so naive back then...

My better half works in matty so we get a few choice ones.

The winner, Echo Beech.

The jaw dropper, Nazi. Asian family- both doctors working in the NHS.
Which leads us to two jokes,
Maybe he comes from a long line of Nazi's
and
It wouldn't be too bad if his surnames wasn't stormtrooper.

Porsche

Was it? Or was it Porsha? You do know Levi is a legitimate name as well?

Is it because their names refer to aspirational items that they are ridiculed or because the aspirations are so low? (Ruby vs Chardonnay, Pearl vs Bacardi)

Portia is a well established girl's name
Porsche is a genuine surname of course, hence the car company
Levi is a well established boy's name, from the old testament (hence the jeans company). It's also a surname, see novelist Primo Levi

We took a tour of Victoria, CA with a brilliant guide called 'Algebra'. Her Brother's first two names were 'Luke' and 'Skywater' She was fab tho and explained 'my parents were kind of hippyish, my dad was a maths lecturer and my mum fancied Mark Hamill so I guess it was inevitable' ๐Ÿ™‚

I went to school with a plethora of Ramsbottoms and the like, and we never found that amusing being all Yorkshire and that. Still we did take the p!ss out of a bloke called Gerald Ramsbottom. Because of being called Gerald of course.

The Finns will get this one "Anu saukko"

If you swap the S over the other side it translates roughly as "Anus Opening"

One of my work mates was talking to an overseas colleague via Lync today whose last name is 'Shithole'. I'm sure it means something different where he comes from but I was gobsmacked when he showed me.
