A little while ago, Mrs BC was telling me about a work colleague of hers who was about to ask for a client, who should have been in the waiting room, to come in for the appointment.
She looked at the name written down and realised she didn't know how it was pronounced. It was written as 'La-a'. She decided to call out the name as La ah.
There was no response so she called the name again. La ah. Again no response so she called the name out once more but, this time, followed by the surname.
At this a girl and her mother stood up. The mother was furious and angrily shouted something along the lines of "Are you stupid? Can't you read that her name's Ladasha!"
It's often asked, what's in a name but this girls name probably said more about her mother!
What's the strangest name or most ridiculous pronunciation of a name that you've come across? |

A few years back i met al pacino. The asian al pacino from govan that is. A taxi driver called his name to much laughter from the queue, until the man stepped forward, apparently his dad was a massive fan and it really was his name.  |

Read in the newpapers about 3 years after 9/11 American customs held a man from singapore for a random search. Ask for his first name he answer "batman" ask a few times more same answer. Then asked for his surname. "Superman" the man answered. They HELD him for nearly 5 hours waiting on NYPD to take him away. They checked his passport..... his name was
"Batman Bin Supaman" held for nearly 5 hours and the custom officers didn't think to open ois passport and it could have been resolved there and then. Was an IT consultant if I rememebr right for thier DoD.
Sounds made up but this story if true and stuck with me forever.
