rant time: double-barrelled surnames

Not exactly double barrelled, but the first time I signed on I was in the queue behind a bit of a scruffy looking bastard. Then they called his name. First name called out was Mr. "Battle", then his surname "of Hastings 1066". I **** you not.

 

You don't like poor people having double-barrelled names because it's above their station. Right.

 

Sometimes double barrelling should be done.

I know somebody who's first name was the same as her partner's surname. They got married. She changed her name. Now her first name and surname are the same.

 

i knew of a kid called nicholas bott. all was well in his world until the day he started big school.

 

I worked with a lad who changed his name by deed poll because he hated his father. He was called Wayne and he switched his surname to his mother's maiden name...
Swayne.

 

One of the nurses in the Mac unit at Scarborough Hospital is called Cherry Pye......,..( actually spelt cherry )

It's her married name ..I bet she thought the man she met who became her husband was taking the piss when they first met .

She was a lovely nurse *

( i say was because she took early retirement for some reason )

 

I was at school with a lad called Richard Head - cruel parents

 

Shouldn't your name be Barrington-Womble?

 

I've now shortened it to Barry-Wom to save time and changed my haircut to save brylcreem
