There are heaps of stupid parents out there when it comes to naming their children. Just a few examples:
Wayne King (American musician)
I Wanke (head of private equity at BCI corporation)
Chris Mass (litigation attorney)
P Ennis (footballer Manchester United)
Les Bein (dog trainer)
Richard (Dick) Long (actor)
Richard (Dick) Wanke (senior mining engineer)
Ben Dover (composer)
Richard (Dick) Little (many people)
Richard (Dick) Pusey (mortgage broker)
Richard (Dick) Rash (project manager)
Richard (Dick) Kuntze (author)
Richard (Dick) Balls (author)
Plus plenty of women who by birth or marriage had names like Fanny Saw, Fanny Hore, Fanny Little and Fanny Hunt

Some parents need a slap though, eg Mr and Mrs Minor who named their son Morris.  It's like the Dare advert where the nurse says so Mr Murray what are you going to call your son and he says Callum. Then drinks some Dare and thinks about it and goes with Jack.

Or the parents in NZ who named their twins Benson and Hedges.
Seriously have would be parents never seen the ribbing that people get from stupid names?  It was a running gag in "Kingswood Country" over the family name Bullpitt and the main character in "Meet the Parents" started calling himself Greg Focker in the 8th grade as he copped heaps from his real name Gaylord (and a quick google check found an accountant named Richard (Dick) Fokker, so yet another example of stupid parents).

Unconfirmed, but someone told me there was a guy working in British taxation office, named Robin Bastard.

He obviously had a calling.

There is an antiques dealer named Robin Bastard, imagine being told your whole family are Bastards. Other unfortunate surnames include Faggot, Mangina, Derrier, Death, Weiner, Slatze, Gobbler, Slatse, Fokker

I like that Monty Python skit.

I received an email today from a Rod Herring, at first I thought it was Red Herring.

Thank you,
