My sister went to school with a girl whose mum was called Carol Singer. I went to scouts with a boy who was Richard Saul......AKA......R Saul ;)

I work with a guy called (James) RIchard Burton. There's another example of parents that hate their kids, but can't recall it off hand.

Pull up a sandbag, when I was in the RAF... stay with me, I worked with a guy called Mabbs, he said to only call him that and never by his first name, I later found out that it was Richard. He had a fear of being called Dick MaButt, his dad was called Roger and to further the joke he called his son Philip....

A few years ago, I sent a package out to a Mrs R Sole. If my daughter Rachel, had ever been on a date with someone with that surname, there would have been no second date. Just in case .....
I also play against a guy called Ritchie, who is nicknamed Mabaza.

haha we should not make fun of anyone but I don't know why people do this.
If you're a cricket fan perhaps you'll know of an Australian satirist called the 12th Man? For ever taking the micky out of, in no particular order, Indian, Pakistani & Sri Lankan names. The players in question all loved it. Being "sledged" was a badge of honour.

I used to work with a Peter Lee from Peterlee. I also went to school with a boy whos parents named him Dysart Caulfield. Unfortunate as he lived in a pit village called Dysart which had an extensive open cast coal field!

In my zymol days I took an order from a Mr H Simpson who lived in a Springfield Close in Surrey!

One of my neighbours is called Shona (a flame haired woman of large proportions!) she is married to a Dr Beaver! I discovered this wonderful fact and checked it on the electoral register... Priceless!
