Unfortunate names !

[The Cream Bun]

I worked with a bloke called Richard Head. He distinctly did not like his first name abbreviated. Well maybe to Rich.

[Arginald Valleywater]

I used to work with Trevor Hardon, Wayne Wankling, John Doodah and the piece de resistance, Mr Everard Koch, a vet. All real people.

[Guilbert]

>I used to work with ... Wayne Wankling.... All real people.

I remember a poor girl called Wankling on University Challenge years ago.

When Bamber asked a question and she pressed her buzzer the voice over went

"Charterhouse College Cambridge, Wankling
(or whatever the college was called)

The guy who started the Lear jet company was called William Lear.

When he had a daughter he called her Shanda.

I knew someone called Dick Bellringer.

[Snappy]

There used to be someone in our company named Julia Caesar, as well as a guy who changed his name by deed poll to Bob Sherunkle. There's also someone named Beana Wanka.

The model Teresa Scott used to go by the name Teresa Wood when I photographed her.

My favourite was a former colleague named Bob Taylor who named his daughter Jenna.

[crofter]

One of my fathers mates names was: BIG DICK COX!!

I think he was quite lucky he wasn't a midget.

In the early 90's there was an Irish politician called Dick Spring.

[Daz Savage]

I also knew a 'Wayne King.' a few of us shared a house years ago and the company we all worked for asked us to put some guy up for a few days till he found other accommodation. He ended up staying for ages without paying any rent and so one day when 'one of us' was rummaging through his stuff to find anything of value... an ID was uncovered that revealed his name was not (as we had all been told) Tony King but Wayne King.

At first nobody clicked-on to it as it didn't seem odd...

...and then one of us said it out loud!
