I recently had an exchange of correspondence with a Mr. Lingham.

I don't get it. Am I being stupid?

If so, you're not the yoni one.

I knew a police officer called Marina Barnacle, her parents were hippies and thought the name was great!

Marina is pretty widespread Russian first name :)

My friend's colleague was named Fanija Sica. It is pronounced very close to "funny shits". :D
With a name like this, you won't get a promotion to the ranks which get to meet English-speaking partners.

I served a Justin Case once - he handed me his credit card and it was difficult not to laugh.

I can only presume the joke has something to do with either football or politics then.

Not quite. You have evidently not read the Kamasutra.*

* It is actually a surprisingly dull book, so save you the trouble, the lingam and the yoni are the male and female sexual organs.

The only good name I've seen is someone I know called Rob, whose initials also spell out ROB.

My IT teacher's initials were CD. Which is almost as coincidental. But not really :P

I think this boy's parents saw the joke, and did it on purpose to be honest!

Cruel. But funny...

You really have to question some parents when they name their kids though. I mean why would you call your son Neville if his surname is also Neville?

Or Mrs Singer's daughter, Carol
Mr Head's son, Richard

Then there's all of Geldof's daughters
Terry-Thomas called one of his children Cushion and the other by an equally silly name

Chris Martin's daughter Apple.

Apparently Robin Williams named his daughter Zelda after the videogame character...
