Yep. Agree.

There was a bloke by that name who was big in the fitness/gym industry in the 1960s.  I remember a girlfriend trying to get me to say his name in front of her parents (her dad was a hulking great cop) and I managed to spit out Mike ... ale Hunt ????

True story, I worked with a bloke once who's brother named his son Richard Edward. I said to him "youre kidding right?". He said "No Why?". I said "He named his kid Dick Ed?". He looked at my with a horrified look.

I had a work colleague who claimed that he had a crazy uncle on his mother's side, you know the one every family has,  called Richard Harden.   Now he claimed that uncle Richard was in the military and soon  wanted to retire from senior ranks.  Apparently, above a certain rank one retains the rank moniker into civilian life.   Thus he intended to retire as Major Richard Harden.   I have not been able to verify this but if true, a life time went into setting this one up.

He's a figment of my imagination Prof. Rod doesn't have a brother called Roland as far as I know, but he should have done.  :)
A guy I once worked with was called Tom Bowler - this time a true story.

My first wife's anaethetist for the first born was Dr Dizzy. Yes, true. Operated out of Ballarat Base Hospital.

One of the first men my ex (same as above) dated after we parted was a dentist. Conversation went something like this: Her: I'm going out with a dentist (kinda show offy). Me: Oh that's good, what's his name?" Pause. Her: Dr... Dr... Dr Slowcock, don't you say a fkn word... Me: Laughter. Her: storms off. (He practiced in the Mentone area, circa early 80s).

I remember Cardinal Sin, the Archbishop of Manila. I think Cookies Dr De'Ath takes the prize though.

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.

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.
