I once met a man from Africa called Mod. No, he wasn't listening to The Who.
I think coming from Essex means you have to have bad names. All my siblings have Lee as a middle name, spelt either Lee or Leigh depending on gender. Named after the jeans, or perhaps the Irish river, or Leigh-on-Sea? No, someone my parents met in Ibiza. Classy.
There must be children out there named Viagra or Pfizer - grateful parents thanking the drugs company. Any Prozacs or Paxils? (possibly not, as they lower the sex drive!). Microgynon from a pill-taker with a sense of irony? I knew of someone called Lloyd, after the bank - his mum hoped by naming him that, the bank manager would excuse her overdraft. I bet there's some Filas and Reeboks in Merseyside. Some little boys called Beckham, some little girls called Posh (or Posh-a, as in the car...)
