Unfortunate names

Woman called Pat Hiscock at my work.. and my wife worked at Premium Bonds - including customers such as Lettice Green and Annette Kirten and of course I've invented loads like Dai Ingfrit and the Hungarian Mr B Gabolz.

Gladys Beaver.

She was so snobbish she called herself Glades. This was before beaver acquired smutty status.

Or before Glade became a familiar item in the toilet department.

We had a Richard Ramsbottom at school.

 

[toffeejack]

Just had a catch up beer with a lad that I went to school with.
He's Cambodian with a last name of Hor, said in the way you'd expect it to be said.
He obviously caught loads of gyp for it, but there was one time where we were in tears because of it.
We all played footy together at school, and one day he got dropped off by his mum. We all piled into the school van with him in the back seat. We're heading out the front gates when he pulled the wanking gesture out the back window at the school (and car) behind him, only to discover that it was his mother in the car behind us, who was waving back at him.


What's an unfortunate name you've come across?

so was his mum also a hor? or was he born out of wedlock?

I've heard that story from my ex's mum.

On the topic of my ex - when she was doing her teaching experience she had a kid in her class named Success, who was bottom of the class lol

Mrs. Tree had a kid called "Winner" in the class a couple years back. Predictably, he was nothing of the sort.

This is true.

I played football with a lad called Ian Hoare for years; I am not sure if his long standing girlfriend, Emma, adopted his name when they got married.
