    Nobody has mentioned QI's producer Beatrice Gay yet? :confused:

    Also, nothing to do with TV but when I open up Photoshop I always look at the name Seetharaman Narayanan :D

    Whoopi Goldberg

    If she married Peter Cushing she would be Whoopi Cushing

    If she married Gerard Depardieu she'd be Whoopi Depardieu

    The teenager from Outnumbered has a peculiar name, Tiger Drew Honey. I often wonder if his parents were hippies. :P

    I take it you don't actually know who his parents are. I would suggest that if you Googled his parents, then do NOT do it from work. ;)

    I'm surprised no on has mentioned comedian Fogwell Flax and Roy "Chubby" Browns real name of Royston Vasey

    Then there is Finty Williams, Judi Dench's daughter
    Nazaneen Ghaffar - Sky Wheathergirl
    Forest Whitaker
    DeForest Kelley
    Dreama Walker from Don't Trust the B in Aparment 23

    Not really a weird name but when I watch KN I always imagine that it was the comedian Arthur Smith that created/produced it :D
    It would explain some of the content :p

    The co-producer on Family Guy - Cherry Chevapravatdumrong.
    In one episode they acknowledge its strangeness, a TV news reporter reveals Chevapravatdumrong is her surname but she changed it to get on TV as it was such a stupid name that no-one would believe was real.

    Her real name's Caryn Johnson. Clearly she didn't think that name would stand out as much!

    Some of the non-English names are not really weird. It is just the language difference.

    The incredibly annoying Lizo Mzimba. He sounds like a dodgy company that you send your phone to for a rip off amount of cash.

    Although shes not a tv personality as such ,theres a high up police woman that often gets interviewed on telly with the rather unfortunate name of Cressida Dick.*sniggers childishly*.Maybe she should change it to Cressida Richard.

    I don't think he has transitioned too well from Newsround.
