A neighbour called Windsor Gates.

Once saw a TV programme on this subject where a few gems were mentioned such as. Peter Enis (True) A lady called Nellie who married Mr Jelly.

Owners of a local gym called their children Tallulah Little Bear and her brother is Tin Tin Jellybean!!!! I am surprised that they were allowed to register the Jellybean bit.

I used to go to school with a Frank Hunt. I still cannot say his name without a long pause between the first and last name.

Still don't get the Jenny Taylor! will probably come to me in my sleep!

I once had a client called Ivor Stiff, strangely enough he preferred to use his middle name which was John.

At the same place we also had guests called Mr & Mrs Veryard. I always wanted to say, Ah, Mr & Mrs Veryard, have you met the Stiffs?" but just couldn't do it somehow.

My nephews were chuckling about a friend's new girlfriend. The reason? Her name. Jenny Taylor. It took me a while. But then I remembered a student I once has calked Lee King.

My husband once had a colleague named David Balls who called his daughter Holly. But the most unfortunate was a lad I heard about whose nickname was 'head first'. His name was Robert Slater. Fine until it's written R Slater.

Any more unfortunate names to cheer us up?
