Ed Balls what a strange name..

[Shoesme 10]

They should have called him Richard.

[Highfields 10]

They should have called him Richard.

Or 'Dick' to his friends.:hihi:

What about Lembit Opik for a name?!

 

I don't imagine they'd turn much of a hair at his name, back in Estonia, which is where his family are from...

[Plain Talker 11]

There was once a lady called Fanny Cramp.

 

AO, I thought you were going to recite us a limerick then...

From the book 'Potty, Fartwell & Knob' we have: Golden Balls - Baptised Aylsham, Norfolk, 26 September 1813. His son was also called Golden Balls.

 

The book also has a section on the best Spoonerism names including: Joe Blobs, Fanny Cucker, Mary Hinge, Carrie Hunt, Betty Swall etc.

 

Also when naming a child you need to take into consideration the effect the initials will have on the name, here are some more examples from 'Potty, Fartwell & Knob' - T.Cosy, B.Astard, D.Og, T,Time, B.Troot, R.Sitch, P.Freely, S.Trumpet, I.D.Card.

 

Another minefield to consider; usually for women, is your future spouse's name. For instance if you're called Sarah would you marry and take the name of someone with the surname Lapper?
