    I know of a guy called Ritchie Rock, so obviously he's known as Itchy something-or-other

    and Billy Tucker, aka Silly ... Billy

    A guy in our school had the name Gordon King. As if that wasn't enough, they always called the named out in reverse (i.e.: Surname, Firstname) in the roll-call,... hence...

    King, Gordon? Do we have a King Gordon here?

    My aunt adopted a baby in May, and before his baptism she wanted to change his name because the current one was the same as one of her own children. Their surname is Head. She wanted to call him Richard until I pointed out the whole "Dick" thing! :)

    A friend of mine called Rhianna Knight has a sister called Tamara!
