If this has been done before, I apologise!

 

Over the forty years as a teacher, I 'encountered' quite a few names that stood out. I'll start with a few and leave it to other members! (All of mine are genuine and the last in the list, I saw in the Express & Star, last week.)

 

Teresa Green

 

Sonia Tighe,

 

Barry Cade,

 

Richard Head,

 

Claude Balls

 

Don Key Edit: Saw this yesterday on credits for movie 'Secret Santa'

 

Jenny Taylor,

 

Lori Driver.

My parents didn't pay quite enough attention to my name as I would have liked. My maiden name was Potts and my first initial is S.

 

I used to get letters addressed to Miss Spotts all the time and I swear most of them were bored people in admin departments who knew but wanted to have a laugh to brighten their day. And of course I was called Spots all though school. B)

 

One of my very good friends is called Alistair **** and he suffered in school and even now gets a snigger or two when he says his name. So his kids didn't suffer the same way he kindly added 'son' to the end of their names. :o

I have had a lifetime of "Everhard, Eversohard, Neversoft, EverReady, Eversoft, Everest" and others say "wasnt that the name of the guy that Larry Grayson talked about ?"............. oh how I laugh.....through gritted teeth !

 

We liked William as a name for our first son but............ Willy Everard ..... ?? We decided against it !
