People with Stupid NamesThere are hundreds of unfortunate people out there with silly names desparately coping with the evil their parents perpetrated upon them at birth.
So far, I've met a woman called Rusty Tharp, a child health consultant called Peter Files and have the business card for "Fab Boolaky" on my desk.
We'd like you to tell us about the people you've met or work with that have silly, inappropriate or frankly wierd names.

Like the Hexagonal ToolMany have told of the famous Alan Key who worked for an Electronics company somewhere in the North West. He would always introduce himself thus:
"Hello, I'm Alan Key. Like the hexagonal tool!"
One person apparently replied:
"Oh yes, I'm Stanley Knife."
He wasn't though, he was just a great big tease I think.
I always thought that an ex-colleague was born with his very own porn-star name: Phil Chambers.
There used to be a woodwork teacher at my school called Mr Woods.
I had a succesion of amusingly named Physics teachers. They replaced Mr Tryfell with Mr Girdley. They both had beards and I think they may have been the same person.
I mustn't forget Edwin Loverseed as it has a poetic beauty all of it's own.
