My daughter is named Clara.

Around the time she was born, the Doctor's assistant (the lovely Jenna Coleman) was named Clara.

It's actually inspired by the character from the Nutcracker, but try telling people that at the time!

I used to work with a Richard Astley.

He was born a couple of weeks before Rick made it big.

Pretty decent at karaoke but was definitely a Richard, not a Rick (or a Dick).

In my family we have had:

A photographer famous in the 60s
Someone who wouldn't come home and also a contemporary comedian
A singer with a famous soul funk band who also sang with Phil Collins
A nondescript British tennis player of the 80s/90s

I seem to remember Danny Baker doing something on names that sound like football clubs and Debbie County phoned in.

I went to school with a Michael Hunt and a Richard Head.

I also remember a news article about some parents who named their son Drew Peacock.

Not really in line with the OP but I used to work with a bloke who’s surname was D’eath.

His nickname was ‘Sh*tty’

"Someone who wouldn't come home"

Are you talking about Lassie?

Went to school with a 'James Dean'

He wasn't a rebel at all though.

I hate Nerys Hughes.


I actually met Nerys Hughes a number of times in the 90s. She was a customer where I worked and was a lovely person.

We actually had a customer called Dick Cheese. We repossessed his house.

This thread is brilliant by the way and makes me grateful to have a boring, if slightly out of fashion, name!

I don't really hate her, it's just a reference to a song.

Yes, but she’s married to a big Ipswich Town supporter and will be all upset now…..





Ok I made that up.

I reckon Mr Cheese was an attention seeker, otherwise he'd surely call himself Richard?

Unless he also worked for a certain Italian home appliance manufacturer....
