What's in a name?

I've always been amazed, sometimes aghast and occasionally agog at the names parents bless their offspring with.

I'm not talking about the youngsters today going all gangsta LA ghetto or simply copying the latest TV non celebrity or fashion accessory name BUT the real old fashioned giggle worthy moniker.

Just saw a councillor on the news Michael Michael.

Ex school mates Timothy Ian Thomas, Teresa Green, P Brain and John Thomas.

The ribbing I used to dish out. Apologies now I'm older.

Thankfully my own parents were thorough to make sure there was no way I'd be open to any cruel school time ribbing.

Happy New year to all,

Mike Roedick.

Pre school trip the headmaster was reading out those travelling, giving initial and surname. I guffawed and was oiked out of assembly.

A mate went out with a woman copper and her name was Dawn Raid.

The recently retired head groundsman at Lords cricket ground was Mick Hunt.
Cant think why he never used the more traditional shortened version of Michael.

Was in school with a guy,his name was,duane pipe! And yes,we all guffawed too.

I went to school with someone called Verian Smart and once met a guy with the classic Mike Hunt name.

There was a lady in my village called Wendy who married a guy with the surname House, but she refused to take on his surname and he took hers on instead.

My Daughters middle name is Ninian, but I’ll take the hit on that one.

A mate went out with a woman copper and her name was Dawn Raid.

I really want this to be true. Either way it’s funny.

My elderly neighbours Mr and Mrs Liver.

Stan and Dee.

Itor abollockoff wrote "ruptured Russian"

My grandparents first names were Pearl and Dean, but we used to call them nan and grand pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa.

The father of Snooker player Darren Morgan was called Morgan Morgan.

If you want funny made up names then listen to ,"The twelfth man" cricket parody tape. Absolutely rammed full of funny names.

Used to work with a guy called Richard Holder. Always insisted on being called Richard for some reason.
