    Curiously enough, your name (although I won't reveal it here) ought to be in this list on it's own merits.

    PS - My name isn't Wayne Kerr, although he may have misheard the way some have referred to me in the past.

    Well Fungus mentioned Radio 4. I know it isn't a person's name and so is cheating, but I always love the programme called "Crossing Continents" or as I hear it "Cross Incontinents"

    You really have to wonder about some parents.

    Still, not as bad as some celebrity names. Moon Unit Zappa???

    At GSK there was a Tom Bollock in the US and a Dick Gigante.

    Also there was a girl at our school called Jane Pigg (middle name was rhoda). At Shell there was a David Bowie who refused to pronounce it that way.

    I was also told about a Micheal Stability - Mick Stability

    If you listen to Radio 4 you will know what at the end of one program they announce that the producer was Jo King. I think there's another R4 bod called Fi Ling. (Fi, as in Fiona.)

    Dick Burns. Ouch! (That's a real name.)

    Some decades ago a Mr Pine married a Miss Coffin. The offspring hyphenated the names and hence are the Pine-Coffins. (I jest not.) One such person regularly gets stopped at customs, presumably for taking the piss when they show their passport.

    Coventry Poly has a Dr. De'ath. (Pronounced Day-arth, sadly.)

    Someone I know is known by his surname. His first name is Aynul.

    I once knew a Mr. Kuntz. I'm sure that's worth a snigger.

    And a Mike Tall whose most notable feature was that he was short. So we called him Mike Small.

    There must be a Poly Merrick somewhere. (As in polymeric, from chemistry.)

    Fungus.
