At least she had her marriage as a defence! But some parents just don't think, when compiling given names... Officially, Dad was Alfred Leslie, but was always known as "Les", as was his dad before him. But officially... it was Alf Hart! ?? EDIT: We're commoners... we drop the "H", when saying it out loud!

His name was T Watts. I new someone who got married once and became Claire Clare. And another one who became Jayne Wayne. but I also know some parents who called their kid Holly. Didn’t tell anyone, wanted it to be a surprise. When they had filled in the paperwork, the first person they told pointed out that their surname is Day. And they genuinely hadn’t realised the issue with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 I had a girlfriend years ago. Her name was Jacklyn. Her ex’s surname was Hyde .. she said She’d never have married him for obvious reasons ! I’ve also got a mate with a very ordinary surname but because he went through the mill as a child, adoptions and all sorts he’s never been fond of his family name. His now wife suggested they use her family name ... Nutter. He’s not too sure about it ? He is now deciding that he may change by deed poll to .. Santa Cruz .... I suppose him being from Burnley might explain that particular train of thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Had two blokes in the warehouse years ago named Alistair Pratt and Alex Watt. The stock take sheets had to be double signed every Friday night shift and I had to check and correct any stock imbalances on a Monday with finance dept. The stock sheets were signed without fail like this, A Watt A Pratt, much to the hilarity of all concerned. oops, forgot about the time a young lady joined the workforce on evening shift by the name of Emma Dale....another case of parental neglect.

Nowadays I make do with model railways and stamp collecting, Mrs Jono says it’s more healthy than lose women who will only want me for my body or programme collection. Besides castration is painful so she tells me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Way back in primary school there were a couple kids who may or may not have had some young romance going on, the people were real but the relationship could have been a myth..... Poojah Shah & Richard Self Oh what could have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna 1 Anna 2 Hilarious jocularity is all well and good sir, but I can't help thinking a post about first names in a thread discussing surnames is highly inappropriate. This is not the way to get a New Year off to a good start. I propose a 3 hour forum ban, to give you time to go and take a long hard look at yourself in the mirror. Shameful! I'll wish you a happy New Year later... when you have seen the error of your ways! ? ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did wonder if I should offer a caveat but then I thought only argumentative pedants with nothing better to do would point this out. Not sure why I thought I'd get away with it on this forum. ?

TimRam Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Worked with someone who had same christian and surname as me. Became good mates...into footie and rock music. Oh how we laughed (not) when someone rang up thinking they were speaking to the 'other one'. 'Sorry, can I stop you there....' became our catch phrase.

GboroRam Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I worked with a guy with the last name Coxhead, worked in goods inward. One day a delivery came addressed to Mr Cockhead. The delivery driver decided to pronounce it Cokehead, because "I can't exactly call him that now, can I?". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
