Mr V. Agra ....OFSO?

[Pinky the pilot]

I once knew a former RAAF Pilot from the Korean war era.

His first name was Vivian. Nicknamed 'Jack.'

Vivian James I enquired of him when he told me of his nickname.

'No, Vivian Desmond was his reply.

We both agreed that some Parents really had no flaming idea!

Viv me old mate. RIP.

[OFSO]

One of my friends, when married previous (as they say) had the surname "SAVAGE". After she dumped him she married a very decent chap, surname "VILE". So in her own words she's gone from being Savage to being Vile.

Luckily down here it's pronounced VILLE-AY.

Then there's nominative determinisation, the theory that people take to trades or professions that match their names -

Odd names

I knew a gynaecologist who became a **** from looking at so many.

[Magnus]

Now Zarni has introduced nominative determinism, I used to work with an astronomer called Alan Heavens.

In Adelaide, our family GP was Dr. Clapp. Years later, in Sydney, his cousin of the same name assisted in my gall bladder removal.

Donald Trump

I see that one can make the anagram land turd mop from his name... (not a million miles from that definition of trump after all)...

My best mate's name is Percy.

True story - About 3 years ago on a night out, a girl came up to him in a club and was all touchy feely. She asked him his name and when he replied, she just walked off.

Haha!

I had a crush on a beautiful young English lady dentist who was practising in Cape Town when I was a youth (I contrived to have as many fillings as possible filled by her). Her name was Ms Stumper. I was glad she was not a surgeon!

MA

[Fliegenmong]

Knew a Dr called Dr Speed.

Also read a business letter a few years ago signed off by Mr Terry Towling!!

[Capetonian]

Long ago I applied for a job somewhere and the letter I received in response was signed by a Mrs. Blow.
A friend had a dentist called Mr. Payne, and one of the local officials in his village was a Mr. Bellmond, generally known as Bellend.

There's a village here in Kent called Loose.

It has a Women's Institute.

They wisely decided to call it the "Women's Institute, Loose", rather than the more usual format.

In a similar vein, my doctor son-in-law trained at the "University of Birmingham Medical School", which was clearly wary of getting the acronym BUMS. (Might have been OK if they specialised in Proctology only, of course).

[Capetonian]

An office I once worked at had an employee whose name was spelled out on her desk in movable letters in a plastic frame.
One day I noticed that 'Miss Puttock' had been changed to 'To Piss Muck'.

[Mrs Ex-Ascot]

One of the Home Security Experts we obtained a free quotation from was Mr Burglar.
