What's in a name?? Does your name match something about you?

I think I have already mentioned on another thread that my grandmother as a young woman, went to a December wedding where a Mr Winterbottom married a Miss Frost and the service was conducted by Rev Christmas Jones!

My sons had a teacher called Mr.P.Nutt.... who apparently was married to Hazel. Not sure I ever believed it.

There's a wood and timber yard in our town owned by the Twigg family.

Head teacher at my first school was Mr. Cain. I’m fact he used a leather strap on miscreants.

When my children were at school the cook was Mrs Cook.

On a flight once, our pilot was called Randy Holiday - some names just don't travel well.

Phil McCann who was reporting on the petrol shortage (for BBC I think)

It was an American I read of in an American mag, so with a name like Randy Ponce I certainly thought it was a good job he wasn’t born a Brit.

The Transport Manager in the local authority I worked for was called Rick Shaw!

I can’t remember where I read it, or who said it, but someone said that if he wanted a daughter to grow up beautiful and graceful (or words to that effect) he’d give her my name (a classic, ‘royal’ one,)

Alas I can’t say hand on heart that it worked in this case!

I met a funeral director called Mr Stiff, I worked with a P Ennis. And a school I once visited hadn’t put much thought into the nameplate on the head’s door - Mr G Roper.

My mother was at school with a girl called Easter Primrose.

I worked with a Nurse Nightingale and a Nurse De'ath.

I went out with a butcher called Gammon

These names sound as if they're straight out of a Carry On film.

A dental practice in Oakham 'Dentith and Dentith'.

We knew a fantastic physiotherapist called 'John Thomas'.

The Dentith's daughter is now in the oractice.

We had a neighbour called Barbie Kew.

The other day we were at the doctor waiting for my husband's appointment and on the next patient screen came up the message 'Mrs C Beeby to treatment room one'. We got the giggles.

My Mum had a friend at school called Walter Cann.

A long time ago, I was introduced to a doctor. His name had nothing to do with medicine, but certainly made me bite my lip so as not to laugh. It was William Peter Dick. He was known as Willie.

I was in maternity ward overseas with a consultant called Aldous Balls completely true the mums on the ward used to call him old conkers behind his back
I can’t tell you what my friends father in laws name is as he’s still alive and it’s such a naughty name his parents must have been bonkers to not realise

A Consultant obstetrician in Stoke was Mr Clubb- all is pregnant ladies joked they were 'in the Clubb'

I was admiring a lady's dog and she told me that when she viewed the pups the owner called the parent dogs in.

She called 'Roger'....and the lady didn't know if it was the dog's name or a command!

Worse still was the eye clinic, where, on the door was a name Mr T.Watts . It was hurriedly changed when it was pointed out.

An orthopaedic surgeon at the hospital where I worked was Mr. Bone.

When I was having my son, my doctor was Dr Boddy. And we used to have a local councillor called Dick Small (!)
