    So I was watching Reeling in the Years the other day, I think it was 1992, but anyway... There was coverage of Ben Dunne's little cocaine and hooker episode in Florida and there was an interview with his lawyer who was called...

    BUTCH SLAUGHTER!

    I once worked with 2 lads from the UK, one of whose surnames was also Slaughter, and the other one's was Savage. There was also a teacher in my School called Willy Long slightly less epic. but funny nonetheless.

    What epic / funny names have ye come across in ye're travels?

    I was watching the javelin this morning and saw one of the competitors is called Andreas Thorkildsen. The surname alone is fairly class.

    I once dated a girl in high school with the first name of Gaye. She ended up marrying a classmate who's last name was Barr. Don't know if they're still married.

    Indy car driver, Dick Trickle. You'd need to be pretty sure of your own epicness not to change that at the first opportunity!

    The Herald as in the paper?

    Had a picture of some old dude beside the name, fairly sure it was his actual name.

    I taught primary school kids in China for a while. One of the girls was called Li Li - that's surname Li, first name Li. Thought it sounded like something you'd call a panda!

    Working in China, too, a lot of students here choose their own English names. I've taught, over the years, kids called 'Phallic', 'Mania', 'Large', 'Thor' and 'Dong'.

    Best one, though, was a teenage girl who called herself 'Eunice'. Thing was, she had a bad lisp and always spoke her name as something like 'Eunithh' or 'Unit'. Had to bite my hand to stop myself from laughing every time.

    And now I have a baby boy on the way in 2 months and I'm calling him Virgil. How's that for a slice of fried gold.

    Nigerian's have a penchant for a flamboyant christian name followed by an unpronounceable surname, knew one called Evidence years back sadly no longer with us, RIP.
