Funny names!

In an earlier thread i mentioned i used to work with a guy called Gordon Bennett. This thread is for other funny names.

My Great Aunt was called Pearl Button (honestly - no shit).

I also used to work with a guy called Simon Pinder, his wife was called Linda - Linda Pinder!

The provider of the funniest name wins £40*

*not really

I had a Great Aunt called Elsie Mettrick (el-symmetric)not a lie!

is 40 quid the going rate for some nose candy or something (or just a round of drinks in that god forsaken country)....people always seem to expect 40 quid around here.???? Wasn't Gordon Bennet a footbaler? who was unfortunate enough to have his name co-opted as a meta-swearword for God?

Can't think of any people's names except the guy who works on Buffy the vampire Slayer who's called "Thomas Wanker".

But locally we have 3 interesting companies.

Star removals (OW!) Star Rentals (who presumably, one calls to rent one after having yours removed).

I've heard a story about him. And heard someone on radio say they knew him.

Urban myth me thinks..

Trevor Marmalade on the Footy show in Australia is a good one. not sure if its his real one though

and there was Ranald (not Ronald) McDonald who played Aussie Rules footy for North Melbourne in the AFL many years ago.

some parents really don't have much imagination. how many people with the last name of wayne have a middle name of john. the really funny thing about this that his real name was actually marion.
