When I first started work in 1981 we had a rep call on us who was called Donald Duck. He was an old boy, so to be fair to his parents he would have been born before the Disney character was created. He loved his name though as he thought it did him well in business as everyone remembered him.

Oddly enough, I have a bit of a strange name meself and I also think it helps people remember me (which is handy in my job)

My initials are SMH, so that always leaves a bit of an imprint on the youth, as it's an acronym for "shaking my head".

In my wife's business she comes across many good names, both for individuals and Companies. She used to have warn her colleagues in the office every time she called one of the customers called. Bender Overseas. :)

When I worked in the casino industry it was common to have several Asian customers either called FukYew or Yew ****.

In sport I always liked Austin Healey as a name (ask your parents kids) and the women's pole vaulter Feofanova, who gets called up an over in our house.

I have a mate and his name is Calum Calamiri and we just call him squid.

Thinking back now at school in Bris and one of our class  mates was called David Fanny. You can only assume what his nick name was.

Or the German skier, Fanny Chmelar - she who came to fame in The Chase.
