At our high school, in my year, were two best friends - Robin Hood and Richard Burton. In those days, you had to join to visit a night-club, and their evening was cut short when the local club refused them admission for being 'clever'. they had to go back the following night with their birth certificates!
My wife had a child's name down on the autumn admissions list (he didn't come to the school in the end) - and the parents' surname was Carte, which they insisted on pronouncing 'Cart-eyh'. Fair enough, but if you are hung up about your name, why call the child Orson!!!
It's true - I wish it was not true, but it is!!!!
