    'Most unfortunate names' revealed



    What do you call some of the most unlucky people in Britain?
    Justin Case, Barb Dwyer and Stan Still.
    It sounds like a bad joke, but a study has revealed that there really are unfortunate people with those names in the UK. Joining them on the list are Terry Bull, Paige Turner, Mary Christmas and Anna Sasin. And just imagine having to introduce yourself to a crowd as Doug Hole or Hazel Nutt.

    Do you know of any one with an unfortunate name?

    There's a website that lists unfortunate names, rules are they have to appear on a film credit so you can't just make them up. Only one i can remember right now is Randy Bumgardner!! What twisted pair of f.uckers gave their new bundle of joy a name like that. Child abuse i say :D

    I knew of a Wayne Kerr & Theresa Green

    I worked as a barman during college and thought someone was making a prank call when they asked me to see if a "Mike Hunt" was in the pub.

    Had to call it over the PA system, and pronounce it very distinctly.
    But it wasn't a prank and your man took the call.

    My dad worked with a Teresa Green. I think Neville Neville is one of the more stupider names i've heard-he is Gary and Phil Nevilles Dad.

    EDIT: i just saw the one with Max Power, i know a lad who also named his kid Max-their surname is Trill
    How cool of a name is Max Trill!!!

    I knew an Andrew Hoare once, Roll call in school was hilarious! The teachers quickly decided it was better just to call his first name. ;)
