Most unfortunate names revealed

[0ni0n]

What do you call some of the most unlucky people in Britain?

Justin Case, Barb Dwyer and Stan Still.

It sounds like a bad joke, but a study has revealed that there really are unfortunate people with those names in the UK.

Joining them on the list are Terry Bull, Paige Turner, Mary Christmas and Anna Sasin.

And just imagine having to introduce yourself to a crowd as Doug Hole or Hazel Nutt.

The names were uncovered by researchers from parenting group TheBabyWebsite.com after trawling through online telephone records.
Retired airman Stan Still, 76, from Cirencester, Gloucestershire, said his name had been "a blooming millstone around my neck my entire life".
"When I was in the RAF my commanding officer used to shout, 'Stan Still, get a move on' and roll about laughing," he said. "It got hugely boring after a while."

But 51-year-old Rose Bush, from Coventry, West Midlands, said she loved her name.

"I always get comments about it but they are always very positive," she said.

Implications
Researchers also scoured phone records in the US and found some unlikely names there too. Spare a thought for Anna Prentice, Annette Curtain and Bill Board the next time you sign your name. A string of Americans also have very job-specific names, including Dr Leslie Doctor, Dr Thoulton Surgeon and Les Plack - a dentist in San Francisco.

A spokesman for TheBabyWebsite.com said: "When the parents of some of those people mentioned named their children, many probably didn't even realise the implications at the time. "Parents really do need to think carefully though when choosing names for their children. "Their name will be with them for life and what may be quirky and fun for a toddler might be regretted terribly when that person becomes older or even a grandparent perhaps."

I went to school with a guy named Phillip Hunt. Then we found out his middle name was Micheal. From then on he was known as Phillip Mike Hunt.

I went to school with a kid named Michael Michael if that counts.

Randy Bumgardner was the general manager of the US President's guest house. I don't need to spell out the hilarity.

A friend at school's dad was called Michael Jackson - she used to get a lot of stick for that one.

You should see half the names that pop up on my call list. What the fuck were these parents thinking?

I saw a name like "Mychole" which was supposed to be "Michael".

Stop fucking with the spellings of your names. It doesn't make you unique, it makes you a fucking retard.

The 19-year-old music student made the change "for a bit of a laugh", through a legally-recognised website.

There were these girls that I went to grade school with. They moved to montana from california completely on horseback. Their house had no electricity or running water. The Three daughters were named Cedar, Sweet Pine and Willow. Family was pretty god damn weird in my opinion.

I also worked with a guy named Ben Bendowsky, which I thought was kind of ridiculous as well.
