Subject: RE: Are silly names an impediment?
There was a teacher at a school near where I live called Gail Gale - it was her married name though so she could have not used it! And she continued to use it after her divorce.

A teacher of mine (first name Pebbles) names her son Bede. When I told my friend her response was "What!? but the kid's got to go to school!!!"
It could be worse than Bede but you'd have thought growing up being called Pebbles was enough to get you to name your kid John.

Also have had an orthodontic surgeon called Doctor Skinner, and also Miss Attack.
Very reassurring!
