    I have a book here in front of me written by none other than Randy Bourgeois.

    Now, I'm not sure if that is an actual person, or a class of people. :)

    Bill Lear (founder of Lear Jet) christened his daughter Shanda Lear.

    Ok, definitely a long way from "best ever name", but a bit of trivia nonetheless

    I worked in a call centre for a large car rental company for a summer when I was in college and we got some dodgy named people ringing up to rent cars.

    About 2 weeks into the job I got a call from a man who needed to cancel his booking. I asked him for his reference number and he couldn't find it so I said "That's no problem sir, if you can just give me your name I can find it that way"

    ...there was a prolonged silence....

    ...then a sigh....

    ...and then he said...

    "Ladyman. Richard Ladyman."

    I'm so glad my phone had a mute buttom.
