Used to know someone whose name (following marriage) was Norma Bellini...
As a choirboy gentle amusment could be found during baptisms in wondering whether parents had really considered their poor children's initials when naming them (my own parents apparently decided against naming me either Edward Michael, or George Norris).

When I was a ballet-mad kid I had a tortoise called Dr Coppelius.

Anyone care to share their pornstar name? (That's when you combine the name of your first pet with the first word of the name of your street.) Mine's Topsy Brunswick.  |

Mine would be either Nicky Freemasons, or Simon Valley (depending on which pet, and whether it's the street of now, or the one where I was first born).

Micky Queen Brilliant game, Marters. How come it always works? Think again before you say that; in my case it comes up with "Gus Deal." Or, if using the present street of residence, "Gus Butler." Not much better. |

Georgie Broadlands, if we go by my first pet and the present location: if we use the first pet in the family and my first road, then it's Wussie Whiteknights, I'm afraid....
