Quote: deckard @ February 25 2010, 12:00 AM GMTOnslow from 'Keeping up Appearances'
I don't know what the actor was called, but he looked like an Onslow. I have always wanted to name our first born Onslow, but the wife is against it. Perhaps it can be a middle name: Vyvyan Onslow Deckard. It does have a ring to it.
I always thought that the point was that he 'didn't' look like an Onslow - which I took to be a posh name.
And of course there was Hyacinth Bucket...
I always thought it sounded a slobby name.
Another one from Monty Python.

My dog is named Onslow and I believe he's the only other being on the planet where that name matches the face.

I always thought Mrs. Warboys was a funny name (One Foot in the Grave) plus the fact that Victor always called her that- so formal! Also loved Trigger and Onslow- totally fit their characters
I always wanted the former England Ladies Cricket captain Rachael Heyhoe-Flint to marry the former Irish Premier Charles Haughey, just so she could be called
