The previous head teacher at the local secondary school was Alan Key.

My dad had a nasty habit of putting his initials on his suitcases... W A N C.

My great grandmother's sister married a farmworker in North Yorkshire who had the surname, as listed in the 1881 census, as Minger. It was earlier recorded as Minge! (A lot would depend on how the family pronounced the name)

Pity all young boys with the surname Bates. That's if they adhere to the practice of referring to them as "Master" still.
