Real people with spectacular names

[flotemysost]

^ ha!

I met someone a while back who went by a chosen surname, but their real surname was Sex. Not Sexton or Sexsmith, just no-frills plain old Sex.

Must've been awkward if they went to a posh school where you get called by your surname. "Sex?" "Yes Sir", "An hour's detention for Sex", etc. Though it would've been amazing if they'd then gone to Cambridge uni and went on to compete in University Challenge just so we could hear Jeremy Paxman shout CHRIST'S SEX

[The Mollusk]

Calling out the register would have been good.

"Sex?"

"HERE."

There's a woman who works in my company named Gay Ray.

I had the pleasure of meeting ex-footballer turned estate agent Mick Wardrobe. I had my overseas voter application approved by Christine Chicken. But the so-near-yet-oh-so-far award must go to Gordon Brown's sister-in-law Clare.

Kitkat is a legit though rare surname. I once met a woman called Elizabeth Kitkat - I didn't make any jokes about four fingers, and that is why I'm going to heaven.

Ok look, I'm not going to put up a link to the S*n and I don't buy it but I know someone who does. Honest.

Anyhow, in today's there's a short piece about an old dear who's celebrating seventy years or something silly working at the same shop.

Her name is Ivy Bastard.

Crosspost from the football thread

Kevin Lasagna has scored again for Verona, four in three for him now.

No idea if he's any good, just love his name.

Italian footballer Kevin Lasagna.

Italian footballer Kevin Lasagna.

There was a thing in the Guardian about how there are loads of (mostly working class) French men called Kevin or Kévin born c. 1985-95. Presumably Italy is the same. There is a French far-right politician called Kévin Pfeffer.

I bet they are.
