Good for a laugh… :D

Apologies to anyone who might be saddled with an unfortunate name. ;)

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.

That's awesome! If I had to choose an unfortunate name, it would be Claude Balls.

Maybe this is why children are having children (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=651154&highlight=mother+baby) in the UK? At least they have the sense to not choose silly names? :p

Hey! This is tragic enough without you derailing the thread… :o:o
Before we know it it'll be put into PRSI.
