I got these names from a book. All well documented, from newspapers, alumni lists, etc. I'll post a few each day. I sure feel sorry for people who had to drag these names through life.

Congratulations. When you get your doctorate formally presented do you have to wear a hat like mine or is that just a UK custom?

Will you change your name? MathGirl sounds too juvenile for a Ph.D. Doctor Maths Mistress sounds much more ... je ne sais quoi.

And now we could start a thread of "Doctor, Doctor" jokes.

You signed it Dr. Girl.

But I was just congratulating you on getting all those weird names out of that book.

I knew a musician everyone called "Duke." For years I thought that was his nickname. Nope. Seems the father named his three sons after private universities in the American south. Duke's two brothers were Tulane and Vanderbilt.

A former governor of Texas named his daughter, "Imma." The only problem was combining that with the family name, "Hogg."

And a famous American beer, "Falstaff," was owned by a German family named Griesedieck.

Rumple Foreskin (speaking of weird names)

I went to junior high with a poor kid named Herman Polecat. The family were indians from Oklahoma, and I think the guy I knew was Herman P. the 4th.

How to tell if it's really, really true love: If a woman loves a man enough to marry him and become Mrs. Herman Polecat

Also on this side of the pond is the well-known firm of solicitors (lawyers) in Exeter called Crosse and Crosse who are universally nicknamed Double Cross.

In Reading there is a firm of Estate Agents (realtors) called Vanderpump and Wellbeloved. The two founders sound made for each other.

Older Litters who remember with pleasure the Rowan and Martin laugh In will recall the news headline on the bottom of the screen which read "Spiro Agnew - your new name is ready".
