View Full Version : Unfortunate name
While reading the Sunday Mail came a cross an article that mentioned people getting ripped off on their mobile contract. One of the unfortunate gentlemen was named Mr Bartholomew Simpson!!! I bet he gets stick everyday for that one!! ;)
Good one Hotrod4
Took me a mo tho - was thinking why???? Then the penny dropped - doh :roll:
There was a guy in either America or England not sure, but he was stopped by the police for a minor traffic offence and ended up being taken to the police station so they could verify his name.
after many times of asking i believe they finally accepted what he was telling them.
His name is Mr Donald Duck:D
Also remember o guy from a few years ago who came from skye. We all know alot of Islanders have the surname Mcleod or Macdonald. This poor unfortunate chaps surname was Macdonald first name Ronald!!! ;)

"Gay Richardson, West Anstey
I have great problems with my name - for some 20 years since it became the accepted name for a male homosexual I can't introduce myself as "Hello I'm Gay" without a smirk. I often have serious problems with sending or receiving e-mails as they are blocked by a spam filter which obviously has decided that I am writing something undesirable."
donald duck used to be a GP on the west coast - think it was Mallaig - he had his name before cartoon character.

Ah, but did he have time for you?

Let's not forget the Orcadian variation of Thwaite.

Could that have been the GP from the West-Coast? Last time I checked, he was still alive (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4105265.stm).

I remember, a few years ago, on Have I Got News For You, they extracted some amusement from an unfortunate bloke from New Zealand with the name Michael Ichyanus.
Now, how you wish to pronounce his surname, I will leave to your discretion.

Mick Nutter that ran Hagars bar in Wick, well his kids were named Adam Nutter & Theresa Nutter :)
donald duck used to be a GP on the west coast - think it was Mallaig - he had his name before cartoon character.
His son also became the local doctor and was also Dr Donald Duck. An appropriate name for a "Quack".:Razz

I worked with an electronics engineer named Sparks.
And at the same place, a Dr Hills, whose wife was called Beverley.
And a mechanical engineer called Case, first name Justin.

:lol: You beat me to it. I used to work with Adam, and he would complain about the trouble filling in forms, or ordering stuff on the phone cause people didnt beleive that was his name! :lol:

spot on. i used to deliver hospital letter,s to raigmore for him.

Years ago when I worked in RAE Farnborough I was asked to deliver some equipment to the medical centre, for attention of Dr Death. I thought someone was taking the 'p' so didn't bother going. Later, when I was told I had to go, I found out the name was pronounced De 'ath. :)

After years of attending to his "condition" with an extended digit, did he change his name to Ivor Brown-Gussett?
20 odd years ago there was a jump jockey with an eye-catching moniker. He now works in horse sales and has his own website:-
Sadly the auto censor won't allow a link to his website. So here is another one where he is mentioned:-
http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-84890558.html
He was tactfully referred to by commentators of the day as "B'stad", just like the New Statesman character Alan.

I used to work with a Mr Richard Fiddler.
My daughter had a teacher whose name I'd get suspended from the Org for probably. He was American (of German extraction) and in German I suppose it would be pronounced "Vanker" but since he was American he pronounced it with a W. He would phone me and say "Dr. W___________ here" and I could never stop sniggering.
I went to school with a Hazel Wood.

I assume he inherited his father's surname, just like everyone else!!
Unless I am missing the point here and "Malcolm" is a really hilarious name?
Touche!!
No way, now reading that made me laugh:lol:
Here's another:
Les Plack the dentist:

I worked in the health service for a while. We had a large Chinese community who gave their children less than traditional names. I met a Snow White who's brother was called Ayrton Senna. Elsewhere I've also met an Anesthesia, Phantom and a Rogue Furlong. A common name in the Chinese community is a F swear word followed by You. Imagine having that as a name and being pulled over by the police.
My English teacher was called Mrs Brolly and I worked with A Bridge.
At college there was a change of faculty head. Mr Hand was taking over from Mr Head as of........ how we laughed at that memo!
My sister knew someone called Tamara Knight
There was a Sister Coil who was a in charge of the maternity ward I worked in!! She had no kids herself!!

Similar to Fitz-, then. I wonder if his father was called Dean Freedman.
Had an elderly customer called Mr Shufflebottam at one place I worked.
We had an 11 year old girl at work last week called Holly Potter. We always get a sweet girl in about this time of year too called Holly Christmas.

I know some parents really need treatment. One of my teachers at school was D I Morgan. No prizes for his nickname.
I came across one unfortunate soul with the surname, Kermode. Strangely enough when he got married he changed his name to Smythe. I still wonder what caused him to suddenly decide to do that.
Lets not forget poor old Richard Head - I was going to say he had a hard time at school but thought better of it.
I once taught a lad whose parents shoudl have been locked away. Their suname was Ling and they called the poor lad Karl! :confused
