    Sorry about Russell Russell and William William but probably the worst I know is Wayne King. But man was he tough and could he scrap mean-like. Suppose he had to with a name like that

    I never actually met a boy named Sue..

    Even my parents no longer use the name on my birth certificate (and therefore any official documentation).
    Confuses the pay lady sometimes too - that can't be a good thing!!

    Wayne Kerr, and Theresa Green were the people I felt most sorry for at school. Until Mr Kerr proved that there was a measure of truth to the appellation bestowed upon him by his prescient parents, that is.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I knew a dude with a Scotish father and a Spanish mother. They weren't really thinking when they called him Juan Kerr.
