[MWS]

I used to see a scrap metal merchant out on the roads in the Leicester area. His truck boldly bore the legend..........T. WATT.......

[Rustinho]

I had one lecturer called Chris King (C king) and one called Colin Munn.
Heard a bloke had Jackson and Michael as his two boys names. dunno if its true.

Had a mate at school called mark hunt. His nickname was Issac. These days it would be iSsac (or iMac)

I like Anita Bush.

Chris King as in a geology lecturer?!

Another amusing name: Sara Cox's son is called Isaac Cox. Think about it.

Finally, someone I worked with did an April fools joke on a supervisor once. We said he needed to return a call to a Hewlett Packard engineer called Mr G Raffe and gave him the number to the giraffe enclosure at London Zoo. He was an argumentative little Hitler and it was ages before he realised we were taking the #### cos all he wanted to do was argue with the person on the other end of the phone line!

My little boy is called Harlan. A slightly unusual name but not too odd sounding IMHO. Middle name Josiah (after Mr Wedgwood)

When I was in my late teens a couple of mates of mine had a kid & called it Paige. Their surname was Turner.

And I remember a story in the papers a few years ago about a couple who named their kid "Drew Peacock" without realising what they'd done.

[Fey!]

Over here there's been a huge rise in recent years of people using Irish names, or made-up Irish-sounding names.

So now we have a lot of children called Fiachra and Siofra and Iseult.

Unfortunately our teaching of the Irish language wasn't very good here for years, so there are children named Ocras and Oighinn, which mean Hungry and Oven!

[slobodan]

Don't...

I called my youngest boy Massimiliano. After Max Biaggi.

Luckily he calls himself Max.

[tonupteabag]

Well my parents saw fit to call me Anthony but i shortened it back to Tony as i don't like Anthony

[frontman]

Well I'm called Colin,
Colin is a male given name. Colin is usually pronounced /ˈkɒlɨn/ (ko-lin), although General Colin Powell chooses to use /ˈkoʊlɨn/ (koh-lin). Like many given names, it has multiple origins, including:

an Anglicized form of the Gaelic name "Cailean" or "Coileáin", meaning "whelp", "cub", or "young pup";
a diminutive form of Nicolas (before the 17th century in England, most nicknames had the diminutive ending "in" or "Kin", where the ending is attached to the first syllable, a few remain such as Robin (Rob-in, from Robert), Hank (Hen-Kin from Henry), Jack (Jan-kin from John), and Colin (Col-in from Nicolas));
a diminutive form of "Colle", a short French form of Nicholas (Greek), meaning "victorious people";
a development of the Norse name "Koli", meaning "dark", a Middle English surname given to those living on property whose ownership was disputed;

All I know is that the runner bean on cbeebies mr bloom and the cartoon dog from the Quavers advert had d the same name !!!
