I saw this one in the phone book directory ... Fred Derf.

Derf is Fred spelled backwards ... or Fred is Derf spelled backwards.

When I was a student in the 80s one of my lecturers swore blind he used to know a bloke whose surname was Baldanus. I never believed him but I Googled it and it is an actual name.

I used to go out with a girl who had a friend who's surname was King. She had a brother called Wayne. What were the parents thinking when they named him?

Praise God Barebones.

A Member of one of the first English Commonwealth Parliaments following the deposition trial and execution of "Charles Stuart". His was the first name entered on the list so the Parliament was named after him: 'Barebones Parliament'. A bit like John Hancock or Tommy Atkins later; but not so friendly sounding – "Put your Barebones there, sonny". You can see why it wasn't widely adopted.

I was taught by an American who told me about a family from 'the hills' who named their children after products and devices: Oldsmobile, Bendix, etcetera. Sounds at least as good as Brooklyn.

I knew a girl called Sue. Her second name was King. General opion was that her parents had led a very sheltered life.

I noticed in the closing credits to Wonder Woman that someone was named Richard Suckle, meaning he could be Dick Suckle.
