Hi Ann.

I see you are getting back into this! I seem to remember you as one of the main contributors to the old thread.

Was some good stuff in it.

Andy

My mum had a friend at school called Nora Bone!! You would'nt think parents could be so stupid could you??

It always made me laugh when mum talked about Nora...........poor child.

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

I remember that one, Andy. It had names like Tess Tickle, Hugh Jars and Percy Vere. It went on for ages, as I remember.

Annie

there was a nurse at the hospital where I worked - Michael Hunt - I'll leave that there!!!

There's quite a few people in the records called Paul Over and Paul Down. I once knew somebody called Laurie Driver. :-)

well - never thought I'd find this one then!!!!

There was a guy who used to make porn who called himself Ben Dover. I don't think that was his real name though.
(not that I know that much about that sort of thing mind you)

think his best friend was Phil McCafferty :-D :-D :-D :-D

Ivy Leaf born Yorkshire 1895.........................................

If you have a look at this 1940 US census there are some amazing names, would have expected names like that in the 1960s

Re Graham's mention of Ben Dover -
coincidentally, he's mentioned in next week's Radio Times (10-16 May) - father of actor Tyger Drew-Honey.

our physics teacher was called Mr Print ...so of course we all called his daughter little miss Print ...i don't remember her first name .

My penpal has a brother called Xavier ....their surname is Ray .He carries it off well of course it's only english speaking people who notice because X-rays are rayon-x in French .

A name that always made me smile was on a gravestone in my local cemetery. It is Ernest Belcher I wonder if he got his leg pulled about it.
