theres a bloke at my work called Wayne Anker and i am not joking. Used to sign stuff as W.Anker too then saw the error of his ways or got them pointed out to him and now uses W.R.Anker. His parents were were either evil or very naive

Don't usually post here, but I have a gem...

I once went for a job interview at Party Gaming, and while reading up on the company, found out that one of the founding members of staff was called Anurag Diksh*t - harsh!

I used to know a guy called William Richard Dicks. He didn't seem to find it as funny as his parents did..

Many years ago when I worked in another line
of business I had dealings with a great guy at Severn
Trent Water, his name was Richard Strain, and yes he did
shorten it....First time I spoke to him I had to
apologise for laughing for ages, he took it all in good
humour (in fact he does it on purpose to see what peoples
reactions are).


There's a chap who keeps a yacht in our harbour called
Richard Cummings, who also shortens it...

I've also taught a Mr Acock to windsurf, cant remember if
his first name was Paul.
