There was a doctor in the small town I grew up in called Dr De'Ath. Quite posh he was.

We used to socialise with a lesbian couple back in the 1970s. Their names; Les and Gaye  :)

No way,  seriously.

True story! Looked it up so it is a fair dinkum name.

..... it would have been rendered D'Ath, or De Ath, meaning from Ath. It was also occasionally an occupational name for a gatherer or seller of kindling. In this case, the name is derived from the Old English word dethe, which in turn is derived from the Old English word dyth, which means fuel or tinder.

Someone where I worked had the name Phillipa Hoare.

Also, my kids had a good laugh over Steele Sidebottom.

You'll like this one, Hamish... well, it is your thread.

Back when I joined the Navy, there were a number of dramatic changes to make like when you were issued your 'kit' (all your clothes). Then you had to spend an afternoon with an ink stamp labelling all your 'clobba', as we called it, with your surname followed by initials. Standard issue, and everyone had to wear them, was white cotton boxer shorts - about 2 sizes too big, a la Betts style. The ink stamp labelling on these was vertical and down the fly. Blokes with the surnames, O'Toole, Cox and Dick were hesitant to be seen in their undies.
