There is a Vietnamese restaurant at the King's Road end of Sydney Street, Chelsea, named Phât Phúc.
It always makes me smile, apparently the correct pronunciation is Pat Puk, and it is alleged to mean happy.

We use a one-man transport firm occasionally and he is called C P Duck Transport.

His first name is Chris, making him Chris P Duck.

I also met a girl called Angie Hoare, who hated being A Hoare.

I noted that the commentators always make sure to pronounce the Z quite clearly

I also used to know a Mike Hunt, must be fairly common.

There was that webpage for some American high school yearbook thing from 1993 that was doing the internet rounds about 14 years ago; sadly it's no longer accessible. It did contain the rather sexily named Demetrius Breedlove.

It also contained the unfortunately named Ginger Minge.

Who later got married and became Ginger Box...

I worked with a Dick Funnell (2 L's!) at Croydon council from 1972-75. Was it the same one?

Years ago, I worked with a woman called Shirley. When she married, she became Shirley Worley (the names rhyme).

Then they bought a house in Purley.

Which leads us nicely onto baseball card legend Rusty Kuntz - yes, really, you can look him up (carefully...)

Yearbooks are a ffertile source for this sort of thing, from the infamous Jesus Condom to a white boy named Rowdy Negro (yearbook quote: "Yes, it's my real name"). Not that teachers have it any easier - I've also seen shots of classes apparently taught by a Mr Perv and a Mrs Rape...

My first day at school in a new country - my teacher was Miss Poulou and I sat next to Johan Fuchs. Makes me giggle to this day.

There could have been a shop named after him.

I wonder whether he ever met Edwina Currie?
