Sab Deol said he was punched twice by Discipline inside the VIP area at the club, prompting his cousin to intervene.

Both men said they had done nothing to provoke the attack.

Discipline smiled and nodded at the jury as he was released from the dock to join his parents, who wept with joy.

He shouted “Yes” before hugging girlfriend Jacqueline Jossa, 19, who plays Lauren Branning in the BBC soap.

Had the case not been thrown out she had been due to give evidence in support of Discipline.

Wayne Payne, 31, (inset) was travelling at 61mph when he hit Cameron Ward (main picture), who was riding his bicycle alongside his parents in Erdington, Birmingham on April 1 last year. Unemployed Payne was sentenced to five years in prison and banned from driving for five years. A judge had bailed the killer driver over the weekend on 'compassionate grounds' so he could see his two young daughters before being jailed. But just minutes later Payne, of Erdington, argued with Cameron's grieving relatives outside court.

Engineer is a pretty common Indian surname - a lot of Parsi people adopted their job titles as surnames when they emigrated to India (see also Farokh Engineer, Navin Engineer, etc).

Robert Kenedy Nunes do Nascimento (nakhchivan), Saturday, 12 September 2015 13:19 (eight years ago) link

remember when the story was circulated that maicon douglas whatever was a bastardized tribute to mikey d

He does not know when or how the rumour started, just that he has heard it all his life and it is not true. Maicon Douglas's name may have an assonance with a certain Hollywood actor, but the Inter Milan right-back was definitely NOT named after the star of Basic Instinct and a host of other big-screen blockbusters.

"My parents aren't film buffs, I don't even know if they know who he is," the Brazilian told Gazzetta dello Sport in 2008. "It's just funny because this urban myth, that my parents were such fans of Michael Douglas that they named me after him, has been around for a decade. "Everybody assumes it's true and, until now, nobody has asked me if it is."

A 21-year-old man appeared at Bristol Magistrates' Court this morning charged with raping and grooming a 12-year-old girl.

Jack Smoothy, from Yate, is charged with raping the girl between September 30 and October 31. He is also charged with grooming the girl after allegedly contacting her on more than one occasion.

The grooming charge relates to activity on social media, while the alleged rape occurred in the Bristol area.

Dressed in a white t-shirt, silver chain and grey track-suit bottoms, Smoothy spoke only to confirm his full name and age.

I was going to mention the name of the guy who runs the funeral home that took care of my parents' funeral arrangements but I see that Devilock already mentioned him on August 31, 2015. Let me tell you, though: while Dick Tips has a comedy name and that was a bizarre news story, they were nothing but kind and professional when I had dealings with them and I couldn't have asked for a better company, especially with regards to my mom's arrangements when I was making them by myself.

Another local LOLsome name is the founder of our one big supermarket chain, Howard E. Butt, hence the name HEB. No, I am not making this up, and yes, it is the absolute best supermarket chain around.

The sudden rise in awareness of the surname "Buttigieg" in the U.S. (thanks to Pete Buttigieg) is kinda funny to me because for the longest time I'd always associated that surname with Canadian home organizing guru (kinda a proto-Marie Kondo minus the gimmickry) Hellen Buttigieg, whose show "Neat" became a mini-obsession for me back in 2015 - 2016.

His surname at birth was "Tollemache-Tollemache", his father having doubled his original surname, "Tollemache", in 1876 after his second marriage. "de Orellana" derives from the naming customs of Spain, where his mother came from, and is a forename rather than part of his surname. The first "Tollemache-Tollemache" also seems to be an unusual forename. Leone was Ralph's sixth son, hence "Sextus". "Fraudatifilius" is Latin for "son of the defrauded one". "Leone" repeats a pattern seen in the names of his elder brothers and sisters (Lyonel, Lyonesse, Lyulph, Lyona, Leo, Lyonella and Lyonetta). His first five initials, "LSD OF", may include a reference to the divisions of the pre-decimal British currency, £sd, for pounds, shillings, and pence followed by half-pence (ob., "obol") and farthings (i.e., quarter-pence). This may be a reference to a financial dispute between his father Ralph and Ralph's first wife's trustees which had driven him bankrupt in 1863.[4] Similarly, an elder brother was named Lyulph Ydwallo Odin Nestor Egbert Lyonel Toedmag Hugh Erchenwyne Saxon Esa Cromwell Orma Nevill Dysart Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemache[5]—his first 15 initials spell "LYONEL THE SECOND". In practice, Leone shortened his name to "Leone Sextus Tollemache".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubert_Blaine_Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff_Sr.

Hubert Blaine Wolfe­schlegel­stein­hausen­berger­dorff Sr. (a.k.a. Hubert Wolfstern,[2] Hubert B. Wolfe + 988 Sr.,[3] Hubert Blaine Wolfe+585 Sr.,[4] and Hubert Blaine Wolfe+590 Sr.,[5] among others) is the abbreviated name of a German-born American typesetter who has held the record for the longest personal name ever used. Hubert's name is made up from 27 names. Each of his 26 given names starts with a different letter of the English alphabet in alphabetical order; these are followed by an enormously long single-word surname. The exact length and spelling of his name has been a subject of considerable confusion due in part to its various renderings over the years, many of which are plagued by typographical errors. One of the longest and most reliable published versions, with a 988-letter surname, is as follows:

Adolph Blaine Charles David Earl Frederick Gerald Hubert Irvin John Kenneth Lloyd Martin Nero Oliver Paul Quincy Randolph Sherman Thomas Uncas Victor William Xerxes Yancy Zeus Wolfeschlegel­steinhausen­bergerdorff­welche­vor­altern­waren­gewissenhaft­schafers­wessen­schafe­waren­wohl­gepflege­und­sorgfaltigkeit­beschutzen­vor­angreifen­durch­ihr­raubgierig­feinde­welche­vor­altern­zwolfhundert­tausend­jahres­voran­die­erscheinen­von­der­erste­erdemensch­der­raumschiff­genacht­mit­tungstein­und­sieben­iridium­elektrisch­motors­gebrauch­licht­als­sein­ursprung­von­kraft­gestart­sein­lange­fahrt­hinzwischen­sternartig­raum­auf­der­suchen­nachbarschaft­der­stern­welche­gehabt­bewohnbar­planeten­kreise­drehen­sich­und­wohin­der­neue­rasse­von­verstandig­menschlichkeit­konnte­fortpflanzen­und­sich­erfreuen­an­lebenslanglich­freude­und­ruhe­mit­nicht­ein­furcht­vor­angreifen­vor­anderer­intelligent­geschopfs­von­hinzwischen­sternartig­raum Sr.[3]

Wolfe­schlegel­stein­hausen­berger­dorff claimed that his great-grandfather composed the surname in the 19th century, when German Jews were obliged to take a second name.[24] In some printings of the above-noted AP wire story, Wolfe­schlegel­stein­hausen­berger­dorff himself provided the following explanation of his prodigious surname:[25]

It tells a story of a wolf-killer, a resident of a stonehouse in a village, whose ancestors were conscientious shepherds whose sheep were well fed and carefully guarded against attack by ferocious enemies and whose ancestors 1,200,000 years before the first earth man, in a space ship made with tungsten and seven iridium motors and using light as a source of power, started a long journey across interstellar space, searching for a star around which was an inhabitable planet where they could establish a new race of intelligent mankind and where they would live long, happy lives and be free from attack by other intelligentsia from the outer space from whence they came.

I had it legally changed, and they still won’t stop using it."

Dear Prudence,

My parents gave me a really terrible name, that half-rhymes and contains a racial slur--think “Gypsy-Pixie,” and misspelled. (We are a white family.)...

So what could her name really be? (Is it really obvious and I'm being dense?)

Lemongello is a real surname though. There was a popular cabaret singer in the 1970s named Peter Lemongello (accent on the "mon"). He had a cousin named Mark Lemongello who was a professional baseball player in the major leagues (late '70s).

Trivia tidbit: In Martin Scorsese's The Irishman Joey Gallo gets whacked at Umberto's Clam House after a celebratory evening at the Copacabana where Jerry Vale (Steven Van Zandt) is the featured singer. But in the real life incident in 1972, Gallo had actually been at the Copacabana enjoying Peter Lemongello's performance.

Josefa, Friday, 8 October 2021 14:21 (two years ago) link

I will concede that it's possible that forks's sister had a student named Lemongelo after the surname Lemongello, but it would be an incredible coincidence, given that I've been hearing since I was a kid that somebody's sister or cousin or sister's cousin totally had a student named "Lemonjello" with a stress on the first o, they swear, why would they lie.

Thanks again, Wiki:Matt Abts (born September 30, 1953) is an American drummer,[1] best known as one of the founding members of the rock band Gov't Mule... Abts joined (Warren) Haynes and Allen Woody, who had both been members of The Allman Brothers Band, to form Gov't Mule in 1994. Before that, Abts and Haynes played with Dickey Betts; Haynes and Woody also played with Dickey in The Allman Brothers Band.

Several years ago a family in the local area named their son Walt Disney Christmas:
https://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/5358651.disney-he-look-like-his-father/

Thus giving him the full name Walt Disney Christmas Pain (his dad's surname is Pain). "Dad Nicholas David, who celebrated his 40th birthday on New Year's Eve, is such a big fan of Disney, he had Snow White and all seven dwarves tattooed on his back at the age of 18." Imagine if that man had been a huge fan of early turbojet designs. He might have called his son Centrifugal Flow Jet Turbine Pain instead.

Simultaneously awesome and odd:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roar_Strand

I found that name after reading about another Roar Strand, a fighter pilot:
https://www.i-f-s.nl/accidents-incidents-1980/

"During a ground controlled approach to Bodø Airbase, this F-104G suffered a substantial loss of engine power. The pilot, Roar Strand, realised he would not reach the runway and decided to eject. He landed with minor injuries in Valnesfjorden."

So there are or were at least two people in the world called Roar Strand. In fact Roar is apparently not all that unusual - it's the Norwegian equivalent of "Roger" - and there are a tonne of footballers with that name:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roar_(given_name)

Including Roar Christensen, Roar Hagen, Roar Johansen, a different Roar Johansen, and Roar Stokke.

Is Norway one of those places where there's a limited number of names, as in e.g. Iceland? I don't know much about Norway.

Ashley Pomeroy, Tuesday, 13 September 2022 18:27 (one year ago) link

or e.g. Wales

Buckfast At Tiffany's (Tom D.), Tuesday, 13 September 2022 18:52 (one year ago) link

Not really limited as such, but heavily subject to trends (as I'm sure is the case elsewhere). To see the popularity of e.g. "Roar", visit the homepage of Statistics Norway, look for "Navnesøk", enter "Roar" and click the button, and you will find that out of Norway's 2,737,332 males, 6,581 have Roar as their first forename. Click the "Historisk utvikling" dropdown, and you'll see that it was particularly popular from about the end of WWII to the early 1970s – with a quite spectacular drop from 1973 to 1974. Intriguing.

That cricket website is a goldmine for anybody writing a novel set in the late 1800s where the villain is a British imperialist. It's almost like a random name generator but with actual names. All you have to do is smush together a forename and some surnames. Obviously you can't use real names otherwise the people who owned those names would take legal action. As per e.g. Ernő Goldfinger, who tried to sue Ian Fleming for using his surname but decided against it, perhaps foreseeing what would come to be called the Streisand Effect.

William Conrad Francis Smeed is an evil-sounding name, and yet instead of dedicating his entire life to evil he decided to occupy some of his time with cricket, so he can't be entirely evil. He might not be evil at all! NB I'm writing this in case he googles his own name and finds this thread. He's a trained cricketer with access to body armour and a cricket bat. It's sad clicking on some of those names and seeing that they last played in 2020. Sometimes I forget that COVID ever happened, and then something comes along and reminds me.

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson on Monday named Ginger K. Gooch to serve as the state’s next Supreme Court judge, solidifying a female majority on the state’s highest court.

Gooch, a judge on the Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District in Springfield, was one of three judges nominated for the position by a seven-member commission last week. She will fill the vacancy left by Judge Patricia Breckenridge, who retired earlier this month.

“Her work ethic is unquestioned and unmatched,” Parson said during a press conference in Jefferson City on Monday. “She is a loving mother, a dedicated wife and a proud woman of faith. One thing that has become clear to me is Judge Gooch has a passion for service.”

"What does the name 'Aglet' mean anyway?"

"Well, a long time ago 'Aglet' meant 'He who puts those tiny little plastic things on shoelaces'. You see, a long time ago a man's name was his profession."

"Oh so a man named Fred Carpenter would build houses and John Baker would make bread"

"Exactly"
