Funny names...

[Brownie86]

I was talking to one of my friends this weekend, who is a teacher at a local school. She said she's had a child there called Allanfa Dan (Pronounced Alana Dane) and found it to be a weird and interesting name, and so asked the parents of the child why that name. Turns out she was born prematurely and because the hospital staff did such a wonderful job they named her after the ward.

This sounds perfectly fine, unless you understand Welsh and realise they have called their child 'Fire Exit'...

Another good one is my friends University Indonesian house-mate who was called Marcia Cachu (pronounced Cashew). Again, in Welsh, this time it means skid marks...

Anyone else have any good ones?

This thread has "name puns" written all over it.
Lad I went to school with was called Justin. Bit middle class I know and I wouldn't mention it, except his surname was Case.

My mates brother from primary school was called Beejay, pronounced BJ, so we often mocked him for that. At work we get loads of brilliant names, one of my favourites is someone with the surname Pi Ying Ho.

Used to work with this lad Ben.

Always came into the toilets with me.

I wouldn't have minded but his surname was Dover.

I have a vague memory of the Commonwealth games a few years back and someone with the surname Dikshit.

We deal with an Indian call centre from a company called Friends Life at work, and they're always told to use English names, I've not spoken to him for a while but there used to be a guy who called himself Ringo George.

The groundsman at Lords is called Mick Hunt, which is preferable to being called Mike Hunt, unless you read it in a Yorkshire or scouce accent.

Also the French defender we were linked with a few years ago Rod Fanni.
