Jagsfan58 Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 I worked with some whose name was Jasu Mistry, I remember someone had called in and had asked her name during the call. That's when it went a bit pear shaped, after saying her name about 3 or 4 times the caller had by then lost the plot and was ranting and raving insisting on speaking to her manager!

McKennan Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 I'm happy not to have to go through life as Mike Hunt. Big round of applause for Rod Fanni. Why oh why did we have to sign a diddy like Cadete when we could have had Quim, his magnificently named countryman? Â I could never take someone called Edwin Nozzle seriously. My sister worked with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKennan Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Donald McDonald  Not unusual. However, the Heilan' tradition of sticking -ina on the end of a male name to make it female cracks me up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
