At my primary school there was a Snow White. Why couldn't this have been a lie that I made up instead of some awful truth. People, eh?

Ooh primary school, that reminds, we had a Mrs Long and a Miss Short on the teaching staff

I had Miss Nott and Mr Strange as art teachers.

I worked once with a Richard Everhard, and yep his friends called him Dick.

Girl at my primary school called Gaynor Bonas.

I've been going through cast lists for the sitcom Chalk this morning, and noticed one girl called Cherry Menlove.

My mum knew a real-life Emma Hoyd.

LOL.

Ah I didn't know our mums knew each other!

One of the staff in my school's middle name is Richard. Last name Oram. Dick Oram. How we laughed.

I run the phonebook for a government department.

Tizzy Boozah remains my absolute favourite and there are some good ones.

The marketing person at my old job was called Starla Cox.

The training manager luxuriated in the name Baron Rohbock and was frighteningly botoxed (so we called him Baron von Robot...us kids can be so cruel...)

Aaron, do we allow these Antipodean types on the forum or are they automatically banned? Oops. I was thinking of my band. Silly Billy.

There's a writer on the LA Times called Jason Felch.

Obviously, Neville Neville (Gary & Phil Neville's dad).

But also Michael Schmeichel (Peter Schmeichel's dad).

And the guy off Big Brother this year is called Mohamed Mohamed. Brilliant. Twice as good as a prophet.

There was the elusive Miss Horse in primary, whose classroom we always got sent to for stuff. But that doesn't count cos we later realised it was 'resources'.

There was a Mrs. Cheese though. She was lovely.
