The Most Unfortunate names in UK !

At least no one will forget you Justin Case:

The most unfortunate names in Britain
Are you Jo King?
For Ms King her name is no laughing matter
Perhaps their parents had a wicked sense of humour.
But for the children saddled with a comical name, the joke can wear a little thin.

Stan Still, 76, said his name 'has been a blooming millstone around my neck my entire life',
Doug Hole didn't want to talk about his, and Will Power was just grateful he had always been known as Bill.

The names, along with other combinations such as Justin Case, Anna Sasin, Barb Dwyer and Paige Turner, are on a newly compiled list of the Most Unfortunate Names in Britain.

Mr Still, a former RAF man from Cirencester, Gloucestershire, said yesterday: 'When I was in the RAF my commanding officer used to shout, "Stan Still, get a move on" and roll about laughing. It got hugely boring after a while.'

Mr Hole of Penrith, Cumbria, declined to comment on his place in the list, saying: 'I don't want to be involved just because I have an unusual name.'
Mr Power, 88, of Bournemouth: 'Luckily I have always been called Bill otherwise life might have been a little bit different for me.'

However author Rose Bush, 51, of Coventry, said: 'I love my name. I always get comments about it but they are always very positive.'
A spokesman for www.thebabywebsite.com, which compiled the list, said:
'When the parents of some of those people mentioned named their children, many probably didn't even realise the implications at the time.
'There must be tremendous embarrassment every time they have to introduce themselves. Even their teachers must have had to hold back their smiles sometimes.
'On the positive side, anyone wanting to become well known would have an added advantage.
No one would forget a name such as Justin Case, would they?'

The other UK names listed are: Helen Back, Terry Bull, Tim Burr, Pearl Button, Barry Cade, Mary Christmas, Chris Cross, Sonny Day, Teresa Green, Ray Gunn, Jo King, Lee King and Max Power.
A search taking in the U.S. turned up Bill Board, Annette Curtain, Carrie Oakey and Anna Prentice.

Unk Dicko's comments:
1 I have come across far too many names that stood out while I was teaching in school.
One was a boy who had the name " Lim Char Bor ". As you know, "Char Bor" in local dialect means girl or woman. So no one could fault him for being very feminine in his behaviour and personality. The boys used to disturb him a lot. It was an all boys school. But poor chap accepted his fate. I recall that we did inquire from his grandma why he was so named. Usually, it is because the family has a compelling reason for doing so.

2 One day in the early 80's, I was at a top Hotel in Orchard Road with some friends when we heard over
the PA system this paging message: " Calling for Mr Boost-stard. Attention Mr Boost-stard! Pl come to the reception counter."
We were at that time also near the counter.
Soon, a Caucasian man neatly dressed in a full suit approached the counter. He spoke," Who are you looking for? "
The receptionist: " Are you Mr Boost-stard?"
The man: " No! My NAME is pronounced as Mr BASTARD."
He checked the spelling and it was correct so he chided the receptionist for mis-pronouncing his name!
