When I was in secondary school I had a history teacher called mr Pratt,oh how we got mileage out of his name!
My local gp is called Dr Condon and a week doesnt go by where someone alters his practise sign adding an m on to the end.

Does anyone here have an unfortuante name or knows anyone else that does??Funny names always make me giggle:)

Best I've ever heard of was an old colleage of my fathers who married a guy called John Curtain. Her name was Annette.

Sofaspud · 19-06-2006 02:57PM

My old vice principal was called T. Potts.

And I had a teacher called Ms. Condon, who was stupid and always called people by the wrong name, yet she still got mad when we called her "Ms. Durex".
Honest mistake, really.
We drove her out of the school in a year.

My maths teacher was Mike Hunt - and so is his son!

Not a problem for Mike Hunt senior in his day but I'd say his son isn't all too happy!

The letter I got when I applied for my theory test, the usual "good luck" one - signed by Michael Skidmore.

And a teacher in school called Mr. Miller. Usual thing would be to get someone to ask him the time, and just as he was about to respond various people would shout "Miller time!".
