What is in a name?

I work in media and therefore have to speak to many many different nationalities, it occurred to me that some people have very funny names!!

not very PC or euro thinking but it makes me chuckle

take english names for example

Thatcher (was probably a thatcher many moons ago)
Smith ( probably a blacksmith)
Butcher ( self explanatory)

the list goes on

so anyhoo to my train of thought

with that thinking in mind, that some of peoples surnames have deep seated history as to what they did

Imagine my surprise when I spoke to one of my clients called Mrs Cockpainter!!

Infact I am still giggling at that!

anyway here is a list of my top 3 stupid named clients

1. Yu Ming
2. Bagheri Haas
3. Mutha Farka

now I am sure these are normal names and I must say they are all very pleasant people, but.........cmon.........SERIOUSLY!!!

HEHE
