A name that always made me smile was on a gravestone in my local cemetery. It is Ernest Belcher I wonder if he got his leg pulled about it.

our physics teacher was called Mr Print ...so of course we all called his daughter little miss Print ...i don't remember her first name .

My penpal has a brother called Xavier ....their surname is Ray .He carries it off well of course it's only english speaking people who notice because X-rays are rayon-x in French .

Re Graham's mention of Ben Dover -
coincidentally, he's mentioned in next week's Radio Times (10-16 May) - father of actor Tyger Drew-Honey.

If you have a look at this 1940 US census there are some amazing names, would have expected names like that in the 1960s

There was a guy who used to make porn who called himself Ben Dover. I don't think that was his real name though.
(not that I know that much about that sort of thing mind you)

Hi Ann.

I see you are getting back into this! I seem to remember you as one of the main contributors to the old thread.

Was some good stuff in it.
