At my graduation a very long time ago, Ghengis Khan was called up to receive his degree.

I have taught two Imran Khans. I made a waspish comment about cricket to one of them once. He had no clue what I was going on about. 'Supports' Man U :facepalm: ****ing live-at-home-with-mum-and-dad Londoners....

BTW do I recall two international Rugby players who played for England and France respectively: Austin Healey and Remy Martin ?

Indeed. There was also a French rugby player called Jean Condom. I'd love it if he were known as Johnny

Yes, but that is bollocks:

"EVERARD ALPHONSE DICK, 48, of St Peters Avenue, Aylesbury. On August 8 2013 drove an MGF in Fowler Road after consuming 60 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath (legal limit is 35mgs). Pleaded guilty. Disqualified from driving for 17 months, fined £430, costs £200, victim surcharge £43."

60 microgrammes (μg) per 100 ml is 0.06 milligrams (mg) per 100 ml. I generate more than that amount of alcohol every time I gargle with mouthwash :shrug:

I used to know a lad called Ivor. The trouble was that his surname was Gunn.

I was horrified when someone planned to call their newborn son Elijah, but I don't really know how unusual it is in these days.

Sara Cox has a son called Isaac. Fortunately I think he has his dad's surname.
A lady where I used to work had the surname Hardon. They saw fit to call her Gaynor. I shit you not.

Oh yeah, a bloke at work, PhD graduate was born in London to Indian parents who though that Ford Prefect.....no, if only. They thought that a cracking name for their lad would be.......Pratish.

We have tried saying 'Prateeeesh' till we are blue in the face, but....:shootself

First day of a contract once, I was told to make myself known to my opposite number in the development team, one Pretty Paddy. Turned out to be a particularly surly Indian fellow whose name of course was spelt nothing like that.

Oh, and on another contract one of our end users revelled in the magnificent surname Furniturewalla :lol:

Having worked in customer services for many years, I've come across a variety of amusing names. By far the worst has to be Richard Head who went one step further by calling his son 'Dickon' - I kid you not.
The other unfortunate one was a lady called Emma who married a Mr Royds. Completely true!

My Mrs swears she dealt with someone who’d named the latest addition to their litter Red.
Unusual, but when you know the family name was Dring.... :)
