Stupid names!

One of our PA’s is called Airdreamer. Great name. My name, however has an odds ratio of 4 for being in prison 🙄

There’s a Hungarian guy at our place called Zoltan – bloody great name!

Guy once applied for a job with me, name of Tyrone S. Love. I decided that if the middle name was Sweet, he could have a job, no interview or owt, just to answer the ‘phone and give his name.

Turned out it was Stephen.

Hope he found employment somewhere…..

Someone asked me about my “funny made-up name” the other day. My name is Tobias, which I think is in the old testament.

I’m told by one of my school teacher friends that they saw this as the correct spelling of one of the kids in her class.

Le-a

(Le’dash’a) 🙄

I called b*llsh*t, but she swears it’s true.

Biblical names are what do it for me. Hate ’em.

You wouldn’t enjoy it here then, more Jesúses (or should that be Jesi?) than you can shake a stick at.

A fair smattering of Purificaciónes, Inmacaladas and Concepciónes!

EDIT: Better add that my name translates into “sump” from Spanish, so it works both ways. 😆

I have no idea what she sang like, but the very idea of one of the X Factor contestants being called Treyc was enough to confirm that I’ll never watch that show even on pain of death.

Took me several readings of the name to realise what the pronunciation was supposed to be.

Caught a microsecond of “River City” last night, one of the kids is called “Madonna” laughed all night over that one.

Guy from Papua New Guinea used to come in the Uni library I worked in in NZ called John Thomas. Was quite easy not to laugh when he came up to the desk, very big and scary looking. We also had a Richard Head on the users directory.

An acquaintance of mine has called his son Aaron but spells it Airwren as he says his son is the air he breathes and the wren is his favourite free spirit bird…I think he may use a lot of illicit substances!

Heard in the high street ‘Tia! Tia! Tia-Maria you bloody come here now!’

My vets’ son is called Hugh. His surname is Cumber!
I also know of a Cherry Bush!

+1 for the tea test

This is absolutely true.

The brother of a friend of mine is one of those (stupid) Man Utd fans and idolised Eric Cantona in his days at Old Trafford.

Anyway – his girlfriend got pregnant and they decided that if they had a boy they would call it Eric.

This plan was scuppered when a little baby girl arrived so….what did they call her? Erica perhaps?

No.

They called her Cantonia.

Incroyable.

Was Jethro Tull’s wife called Jenny?

IGMC 😀

At various times in the army, my dad met a Captain Courage and a Sergeant Slaughter. 2000AD-tastic!

I wanted to call my first son Buster. My wife was having none of it.

She said if we get a dog I can call it Buster instead…

BH – I met a General Courage – depending how old your father is may be the same chap – he was a descendant of the Reading brewing family. With whom did your father serve?

There’s a Hungarian guy at our place called Zoltan

One of the best players Aberdeen ever had was called Zoltan Varga (showing my age there)!

BH – I met a General Courage – depending how old your father is may be the same chap – he was a descendant of the Reading brewing family. With whom did your father serve?

He’s 61 now and retired in 2003, so he’d have been 53 at the time.

Served with the RTR, retiring as a Brigadier.

My guess the guy i met is a bit older, probably 70 now.

Was Jethro Tull’s wife called Jenny?

No he married Susannah Smith

Twin Girls will be arriving in the UncleFred household in a couple of weeks. I want Pixie and Trixie but the wife won’t have it…

I have taught Bubbles St Clair – true name

and last year worked in an office next to Neal Thunderchief head

When my uncle lived in the states in the 60’s he had a mate who was native American. His name was George Standingatthedoor (honestly). Something to do with native Americans having names which reflected things that happened when they were born.

In the NZ news recently.
Someone had named their kid ‘ASDF’

Fast to type, unpronouncable.
