what would you change your name to?

I also had a guy named Mr Horniman on the phone once

That really is a good one.

Which parent with a bit of a brain would name his son Hitler?! :huh:

There are "lots" of people called Hitler around here, because it used to be a common name. I think the neighbour of some fellow is even called Adolf Hitler.

Poor guy. Imagine the abuse he must be getting everywhere, not to mention problems during job applications and such.

I once had a guy named S. Hussain on the phone as well. The guy disconneted the call himself. So I can now say I spoke with S. Hussain until he hung up

I had a classmate with the name of Brian Penas.
professors stumbled over that time and time again, often with great hilarity.

I've been thinking and come to the conclusion that I'd rather fancy the name Jasper.
it just sounds fun, imagine being that guy!!


(TC: great list of names)

More extravagant names, this time from Argentina:
Daddy loves football, he admires Diego Maradona... But it was a girl, so he can't name her Diego, that's a male name, it would be absolutelly ridiculous. The solution: Mara Dona Puch Lopez.
There's also a Maikel (Michael), a Shakira, a girl named Brindis (toast) and Chevy, Bono and more.

Peru
In Peru there aren't any regulations about names, so you can name your son Vagino and it will be Vagino. There's a peruvian Marx Lenin and a girl named Madeinusa.

And now... these are hardcore:
From Venezuela: Yesaidú (Yes I do), Usnavy (US Navy), Superman, Maikel Jackson, Makgiber (remember?), Guarisdá (What is that) and Lexotanil.

*Bonus from Republica Dominicana: Peligroso Suero Noboa (Dangerous Serum Noboa), Bonita Cuevas Cuevas (they named their daughter 'Pretty', that's silly but cute. But the double 'Cuevas' makes me think about some sort of brother-sister marriage), Seno Jimenez Sanchez (Breast Jimenez Sanchez), Ernesto Che Perez, Rambo Peralta, Barney Francfortfrancis Samuel, Gandalf Ferreira, Chicle Faustino Faesta Fostan (Chewing-gum Faustino bla bla bla), Doctor Aquino Aquino (double lastname again, God!), Toshiba Gomez Peralta.
