Cholmondley, pronounce Chumley. Featherstonehagh, pronounced Fanshaw. And then - my first wife worked in the education department identifying grammar school places for families moving into Surrey with children in grammar schools elsewhere. Some chuckle worthy names, most of which I have forgotten, but Blossom Potts lives in the memory

I've just started listening to Spike Milligan's Army related books which got a mention here recently (everything here is recently but it doesn't feel that way) so I found and downloaded them.

Like me he has anonymised names but with more panache. One that immediately comes to mind but there are many is Colonel Startling-Grope. Very famous bloke - even google has heard of him.

My wife helped as a voluntary classroom assistant years back. A little Chinese (?) girl arrived. Her name was Oi Yu. They decided to call her Lucy. Probably not allowed these days.
