Cruel Parents - Bad Names

Sundae · 05-09-2008, 10:54 AM

My sister dated (and I worked with) Michael Hunt. Who did go by the name Mike.
I never considered the impact of both names together until I heard it as a joke later. Well I was 14-15 at the time.

And I knew a Richard Head through work - he was my contact in a local council. As far as I know, no-one knew him as Dick though.

I am quite happy to accept that there are plenty of parents like Mike's and Richard's who don't realise the combination of names might be amusing or ribald, especially where abbreviations are concerned.
