I would have changed my name to Roy Jones too. What are great names you have come across? My favourite in my friend circle is the mighty Asher von Hippel, a name I can only imagine his (German) Dad and (Indian) Mum designed after each being given half naming rights and deciding upon it entirely in isolation from each other.

Paid Members John Matrix Posted August 24, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 24, 2018 To this day, one of the best names I’ve ever come across was when analysing reams of school attendance data, noting the outstanding punctuality of one TJ Hercules.

Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted August 24, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 24, 2018 I always thought the actor Morris Chestnut had an excellent name for a handsome black man. I was even more pleased to discover his full name is Morris Chester Chestnut jr, that's a fucking name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted August 24, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 24, 2018 Years back, I was bored in work and browsing the global email address list and came across a chap by the name of 'Megatron Bison'. Mr M. Bison. Amazing. I always wanted to email them just to enquire about it. I never did and they seemingly left the organisation a while later. Presumably to do something involving robots and combat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W35ty Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 My best friend from childhood had a mum called Theresa Brown. A real life pun and that's why most people don't believe me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Cod Eye Posted August 24, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) My ex used to be a club and session singer, so a lot of her friends were in the same game and all had "stage names"(her's was "Vikki Leigh", until I met her and told her that was the name of a porn star, so she changed it sharpish!). Well, one couple who were both entertainers had a little boy, who they named Tiger for some reason. When asked, they said his full name was Tiger J.J. Tavaro(her stage surname was Tavaro), which I thought was magnificent! Well, that was until you saw his actual legal name on his birth certificate was Tiger Joshua Jesus Huffington(their real surname)... Also, my current Mrs' surname is "Beevers" and her brother wanted to call his newborn daughter Isla, that is until I made the observation "Isla Beevers" sounds like some exotic lesbian holiday destination.

Keith Houchen Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 There were 2 brothers who used to be known in the Cov rock scene in the early to mid 90s called Conan Elvis Friel and Bruce Lee Friel. I think their dad did a lot of drugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
