Dikshit is a common surname in India.

So is Kant...pronounced like but with a soft t.
Imagine a father telling his son he is a true kant.

I used to scan phonebooks to look up "odd" name combinations--usually there would be someone with the name. Seems like there are a lot of dumb parents out there.

I used to work for a German company, and there were some right old funny ones in there. A collegue of ours used to compose these huge email announcements, and on occasion used to leave his computer unattended mid composition. I think that Wolfgang Hassellbach was one of the more amusing names that used to "find it's way onto" the address lists of his mails

[wadgebeast]

A bloke I used to work with had the surname 'Ness'. His dad and uncle had conspired together, so my mate was called 'Peter' and he had a cousin called 'Angus'.

Peter simply had P.Ness put down on his business cards; he'd got used to the abuse by then...

[The Tramp]

Lad at school called Hardon Bates.
So when he recieved mail it was Master Bates....always made me laugh.
