I went to school with a guy
called Russel Crapper. He started a band called the Russel Crapper experience. It's crap.

Also went to school with a girl called Kelly Smith. We called her Smelly Whiff for seven years. Ahh, childhood!

while working in a London University...
... we came across several, mainly things like Mr Bum and Mr Wank etc, but my favourite would have to be Bernt Berger and the lovely Mr Bumstainus. Unfortunately he did some temping in our office (before i worked there) and was looking through the funny names book: "Ha ha ha - Mr Wank - Ha ha" Pause "why is my name in here?"

Up until seven months ago...
...my GP was a certain Dr. Pepper.

I kid you not.

Visits we're always rather amusing - "Oh, come on doc! Whats the worst that could happen?" etc. ;)

He actually had a row of Dr. Pepper cans on his shelf, presumably gifts from star-spangled patients.

nominative pre-determinism
There's a phenomenon that makes people end up doing jobs as adults which suit the names they were given as children - it's called nominative pre-determinism. Years ago, I worked for the Scottish Wildlife Trust, as did Rebecca Badger, Heath Brown and Forrest Craig! Fucking scary! I'm so glad my parents didn't call me Spastic Shitlicker!

Colleagues
Until recently I had the pleasure of working with both Dick Cleaver and Willie Payne, which is quite a combination, but my sister wins, as she went to school with Hildegard Schnoutskin. No bullying there then...

guess what my name is?
There was a guy back in high school who was named Jason Enoff, whose fathers name was Jack...Jack Enoff. I shit you not. I'd taken several trips on the Toronto Brigantine tall ships in the summers of high school and one day a bunch of us talked about this very topic while we were anchored. One guy from British Columbia had someone in his class named Donald Duck, and another fellow from New Brunswick had a class mate named Michael Thomas Hole, initials M.T. Hole. Though I guess this may have more meaning for those of you on the other side of the pond (me being a canuck and all nor a big follower or sports), but my own name is David Seaman. I had no idea who also shared the same name until 2 years ago when the (soccer for us, football for you) matches were all in the news here and I happened to glance at a news article headline saying I cost England the title, but then on actually reading the article I realized who they were referring to. Joy.

Doctors
I work for the NHS supplying stuff to surgeries, and have encountered the following doctors' names -

Dr Cockshott
Dr Badcock (prostate specialist?)
Dr Wrigglesworth (about 2ml)

and my personal fave,

Dr Wankowski.

I'm sure he works hard. ;)
