Randomly searching Auto Trader (for those who can’t see it the wording on the screen) made me chuckle as its a main dealer listing

Jack Goff takes some beating.
Do some parents not think, care or just have a good sense of humour.
But if it’s your married name ... then it’s just pure bad luck.

You don't have to take your partners name. In the US Randy Bender doesn't mean anything, nor does Willybiro.

Jenny Taylor in the UK is pretty unforgivable.

Didn't Jasper Carrot have a (short) skit on this - ex-pat in the US had the plate 'bks' or very similar?

Anyone who follows the YT channel 'Aging Wheels' will know he drives a Reliant Robin in the States with a UK-spec front plate that says bks

Once, long ago, there was an entry in the Oxford Area telephone directory (remember those big books full of names?) for an unfortunate chap called Robert Sole (it might have been Soul) and of course he would be known to many as Mr R Sole

Made a whole lot worse if her first name is Ava or Lottie.

#kittendisesstion #pedantalert: it wasn't Leeds, and IIRC no-one evert tracked down the professor; it is an incredibly unusual name and thought to be a (funny) hoax that I have neutered by being a pedant.

Swedish rally who must have struggled with weak components; his name was Bengt Axel

Sales manager at Dunlop Tyres in 1968 was a certain Mr Skidmore.

I worked for Mars, one of the Managers was a Rowntree.
( We were all convinced that he was an industrial spy... but he always denied being related to that family).

Ooops... Almost forgot Richard Head too.
( Really unlucky if you became the one, one, one / 3rd)

Did a few plumbing jobs a few years back for a bloke around the corner from me called Richard Kitchen. Aka Dick itchin

[Huff]

I did a post grad diploma where the course leader was a Mr Dick Small.

On the quirk of nominative determinism (aka - strangely- appropriate coincidences) in the last couple of years I've worked with Structural engineers with appropriate names - one a Mr Bracey, another , a Mr Wedge.

I can prob think of several comparable in other consultants ...
