One of my friends, Mike Huck is forever grateful that his parents didn't
call him Alf.

Used to have a good laugh at the local Co-op when they got a PA system
installed, asking if our friend Mike Hunt could please come to the phone.

Expressing milk should not be missed, as it involves a breast pump, which is
one of the funniest devices I have ever seen working. It's kind of
cartoonish in its bizarreness. Hilarity in a box.

did you get away with a middle name "Anne"?

Mr. & Mrs. King, of my acquaintance, had a baby daughter. It was suggested
that she could be called Frances Ursula Christine.

Why do parents do that? Are they just terminally thick?

Mind you silly things can catch you. My elder sister is Marion Rosemary,
this was fine until she started getting her own post addressed to "MR
Liquorice", my Dad would open it...

There's a book called "Remarkable Names of Real People" which a friend and I
spent a hilarious afternoon reading in a bookshop. Hundreds, all certified
genuine. How about:

Turkish diplomat - Mustapha Kunt
Indian chief - Unable To Fornicate
New York phone book - Siddhartha Greenblatt (no hidden joke, just weird).

And that's just from memory 25 years ago. The friend bought a copy and it
still graces his smallest room.
