Have to say I do enjoy an odd or funny name ... sadly most of the ones I think are hilarious are due to the fact I seem I have the humour of a 10 year old schoolboy as 90%  have the first name Fanny ..  in the last week alone my favs have been

Charity Ball
Charity Bastard
Charity Case
Angel Heavens

and one for my own family tree - Fanny Jelly
