FabSwingers.com forum: Brilliant names

I really love names. Walking round a cemetery, reading the headstones is a cheery hobby

But some names are just a cut above the rest. So, what names have you come across that are a bit special? People you've met, graves you've read, or names on the work database.

My favourites are Mrs Troll, Mrs Furniturewallah, and Paige Turner.

Plus honourable mention to the Lily Pond that my mum once met, and the Mr Hyacinth Wenceslas she heard on the radio.

Anna Marie Balding was interviewed for itv racing this afternoon as her top trainer husbands representative at Newmarket today.

I know it’s not all that uncommon but I really enjoyed reading Anna Marie on my television screen.

With that name he'd have to be one or the other, and he's not very scary looking!

Then you definitely want to get hold of a book called Potty, Farewell and Knob. The author trawled through census data and births marriages and deaths over a few hundred years which is all available online. The book is a list of extraordinary apparently real British names. These include:

Pat Fenis

Carey Hunt

Shat Butler

Farting Clack

Herbert Sherbert

Shitty Dikins

...and many more.
