More silly or unfortunate names: Justin Case, Sue Mee, Rob Mee etc

For anyone who missed it, the BBC had an item about unfortunate names, discovered by parenting site TheBabyWebsite.com from going through online phone records.

See the Baby Website’s full list, and the BBC item for more names sent in by readers.

My own favourites, apart from the ones above, are:

• Mary Christmas & Esther Munday
• Hazel Nutt, Rose Bush, Ivy Plant; and sisters Ivy, Daisy and Rose Roots
• Jo King, Lee King, Carrie Oakey, Stan Still, Doug Hole, Terry Bull, Max Power, Will Power, Ray Gunn, Lotte Flack, Helen Back, Sonny Day, Tim Burr
• Paige Turner, Anna Sasin, Annette Curtain, Bill Board, Barb Dwyer, Pearl Button, Albert Hall, A Burke, Barry Cade, Jenny Taylor

If you like this sort of thing, do see:

• posts on unfortunate bloopers by kids (e.g. “A myth is a female moth”)
• Cornish silly names from previous centuries (e.g. John Bath married Elizabeth Duckem)
• funny place names (e.g. the Ugley Women’s Institute)
• rude food name and another rude food name
• interestingly appropriate names (Dr Butt published an article on the colon, a Mr Leakey works for Thames Water) and also my other posts on nominative determinism and the like (jobs that reflect your name, e.g. Dr Doctor, Dr Surgeon or dentist Les Plack) - warning some are rude!:
• Jobs reflecting names (nominative determinism, or aptonyms)
• Interesting names
• Another great name
• Nominative determinism 4
• Nominative determinism 5 and similar stuff
• Nominative determinism 6 (e.g. vasectomist Dr Dick Chopp)
• Nominative determinism 7 and other funnies
• Nominative determinism 8
• Nominative determinism 9
• Nominative determinism 10: dogs lead in Barking, woof woof!
• funny cut-off name (and another cut off word on Twitter)
