I knew a girl called Rosie Lee (for the Cockneys amongst us)
and a pair of inseparable girls at school, Miss Easy and Miss Lay, obviously always collectively referred to as 'Easy Lay'
and at work we had an Eric Hunt and a C.Hunt and we still have a Dolphin Loo
and whilst working in Hong Kong we had a girl called Twinkle and another, who as a kid had been an Elvis fan, called Sivle.

I once knew a pair of brothers called Ben Down and Neil Down.
Any relation to Ben Dover?

I met a girl once in Birmingham and her real name was Ming D'Nasty.

Isn't he a character from the new Flash Gordon movie ?

Working in the direct mail industry for so many years, I have seen some real funny names, while cleaning and processing data.

One that always sticks in my head is Sidney Harbour - mainly because I was curious if he married a woman called Pearl

During my Police service, we had a Detective Chief Inspector for a while whose name was ... David Swindle. Quite a famous guy, he was the senior investigating officer in the Peter Tobin (serial killer) case. He still crops up on the TV now and again as a private investigator.

There is a Pocahontas McGhie now aged in her 20's who used to live in Port Glasgow (and maybe still does).
