    Post Peoples surnames

    Hi all.

    I was thinking about some of the funny names and nick names people have. And I thought that it would be a good idea to post some of them here. Just for a few laughs.

    I was recently in Adelaide and there is a Tailor by the name of "occhiod'oro" which literly means in Italian "Golden eye"

    a further example is a photo someone sent me of a Tomb stone from Austria with the name "Dumfart" on it.

    I shall end with one that a work friend told me about. It was someone from her home town, by the name of "treblecock" they used to call him "3 dicks".

    Hope you like the idea, if not never mind.

    regards

    Gino

    This is also a true story! (or so my Mum says)

    My Mother used to teach in a girls private school, in England, many years ago. Several years later my parents recived an invitation to a wedding from one of the girls that my Mother used to teach. Her name was Ophelia something-or-other and his name was David Balls!

    Poor Girl!

    Forgot about these ones.

    There was an earth moving contractor in WA years ago, probably still is, by the name of Ivan Jurkov. He proudly had the tailgates of all his tip trucks painted in big letters with I Jurkov. You can immagine the sign language that passed between the Jurkov boys and all the opposition drivers. :

    And then there is Intercourse Island again in WA. Had a friend who was there for a while. His mail used to come addressed to F*CK ISLAND

    There are two fisheries inspectors in Victoria, the Parmagiana brothers. Mother must have been a movie fan in the 40's or 50's. One is Errol the other Zorro. Fair Dinkum.

    Used to have a doctor in SA many years ago called Dr. Clapp. Believe he now has a relative of the same name, also a Dr., in Sydney.

    Also knew of a bloke named Wayne Kerr.

    Lived in a housing estate in the US and one of the builders was Wayne Nail. Of course there's also the optometrist in my old home town... Dr Henry Winkler. My brother in law used to go to a doctor called Dr Doctor.

    I recall in the mid 60's when an American Air Force officer was seen riding his motorbike up the runway while wearing an orange cape.
    Lt Marvel had just been promoted to Captain.

    Looks like both Ubeaut and I knew the two homosexual Normans, william and Patrick.
    I work with a few Jurkov's.

    My wife worked in a bridal shop once and one time they got my wife to call out on the shop intercom phone call for Mr Stapashion. His first name was Con. Stapashion wasn't his real name but they used to do it for a stir.
    One of our customers surname was Elanious they used to call her Miss elanious as in "misc".

    Then there's the Hardware guy in Geelong Kieth Fagg. Must smoke a lot.

    Alex mentioned Wayne Kerr we've got a customer Wayne King.
    My boss bust out laughing when he heard I had a cust called John Thomas. Couldn't understand why at first but he explained that's a nick name for Dick in England.

    I'll leave you with a couple of Italian classics (never mind the spelling) "Gumberote" meaning "Broken Leg"
    "mezatesta" meanng "Half a Head".
    There kind of like indian names eg Two dogs.

    P.s Ian you could put the Parmagiana (Cheese)brothers on your Pasta.
