perculiar names

[mollykins]

Do you personally know someone with a perculiar name, or someone who has the same name as someone famous.

My brother works with someone called Goerge Michael Jackson.

Someone in my class has an Indian family but she was born in England. I think her family tried to give her an English name but got it slightly wrong. Her name is Twisha.

My local high school had two guys, best friends, who went to sign up to a local club, and had to come back with their birth certificates to prove that their names were genuine - Richard Burton and Robin Hood.

I once taught in a young offenders' centre. As the lads came into the education wing from their cells, they had to give the supervising officer their surname, initial and prisoner number. One lad was called John Bond, and his prison number ended in 007. The newer officers didn't realise this, of course, and unless there was a member of staff hand to explain the situation, he was sent back to his cell because they thought he was being cheeky.

Thing is, I think he got more pleasure out of seeing them corrected than ever he would have done by being cheeky.

A woman from a remote Australian community saw a name on a large can and named her daughter.
Kerosine - pronounced Ker-os-in-ee

Le-a. Pronounced Le- dash-a. The "dash" is pronounced.

Doctor Death. Pronounced De-Ath. It sure was disturbing on the surgery sign.
