There's a girl at Exeter Uni called Foxy Demeanour. This always causes much confusion/hilarity in the library. Sadly I think she may have left at the end of last academic year.

Does "Fab Sheath" still work as a cashier in your bank, Dr C? Do you even have a local bank branch any more, or has it changed into a trendy wine bar?

An old math teacher of mine told me that she once taught a set of identical twins who were named Lenmonjello and Orangello (with a j sound, not a hard G) respectively. Unfortunately I was not privy to the last name.

Also, there is a wonderful bluegrass performer whose actual name ("god-given" as I overheard another concert attendant say) is Langhorne Slim.

To change your name by Deed Poll in the UK costs just £34. Including VAT. You can do it instantly online here. Exercise your democratic right and change your name today! Or do it for a friend! I suggest either 'Bumptious Skimpster' or 'Piss Pot'.

I met a guy whose middle name was "Danger" something like Jason Danger Patterson. Then I found this:

From the UK Deed Poll Office Online :

" One of the most popular middle names added is Danger, inspiration for which comes from the film Austin Powers, International Man Of Mystery where the character Austin Powers, upon being being released from custody, tells a guard "Danger is my middle name." Every week, there is at least one Deed Poll to someone who makes Danger their middle name. " - http://www.ukdeedpolloffice.org/

Makes sense now haha
