Depends. If it's genuinely funny then the person with the name should see the funny side.

In this case — while Lee's approach wasn't for me — it is wrong to accuse him of "antisemitism" as certain Tories have and risks cheapening genuine examples of it. Not a bad time for them to ride on the back of it though, all things considered!

I think Arrested Development is the best at this. In particular, the episode that focuses on Tobias and his acting (with the washed up and troubled actress, Debris) has so many great names and lines.

My American counterpart when working for big corporate was Randy Bender.

I've still got his business card in pride of place in my home office.

FFS.

So you can't see Trevor Phillips's islamophobia, for example, but this is "classic antisemitism"? You've disappeared down the rabbit hole with Pollard and the rest of the loons.

A while back I was calling some Swiss contacts and the names I was given were Willy Dinner and Massimiliano Fuksas.

Took me about an hour to get myself in the right frame of mind. They were nice people it turns out.

Also a very nice French client called Anita Neau. Naturally, everything was on Anita Neau basis.
