Spotted on Facebook - inspired by Jacob Rees-Mogg: to make your Tory name

- use one of your grandparents' first names

- for a surname, hyphenate together:
-- the name of the street you grew up in
-- the surname of your school headmaster

I'm Edmund Sugworth-Baigent (aka Lizzie Halfway-Jones)

I'd be Harriet Raynton-Scurfield. Sounds quite posh doesn't it?

My husband would be Lassina Gaugin-Nangui.

Sounds more like the corrupt dictator of a banana republic somewhere in deepest darkest Africa.

Ha. Ask him whether he knows where "Ulundi" comes from in my alternative!

My father-in-law's name actually was Thomas Welborn Rutter. Seems to cover the Tory traits quite well. However, in the 30s he was a card carrying Communist so I suppose that counts against.

Ulundi was a Zulu battle wasn't it Steve?

My niece would be Duffy Meadowview-Fraser, quite 'Celtic Landowner'.
But she too is a card-carrying Communist (and a Buddhist to boot!)
However she does work in Investment Banking.

Mine works out as "Keith Helmsley-Stendall".

This reminds me of a similar post to this site some years ago, when we were asked what our name would be if we were blues singers. The criteria were 1) a disability / affliction, 2) a fruit, 3) a US president. Blind Lemon Jefferson was not acceptable, as he was a real person. The winner on that occasion was "Double Amputee Kumquat Madison". Perhaps a suitable latter day one might be Impotence Raspberry Trump.

I think of all the new data streams, branches and history this information will give google if one told the truth
and that too is verifiable.

Ah leeneia, that's where the system breaks down. Many streets in N America have just a number.

It gets worse. When I was a kid, my best friend's father insisted he knew a man in the Navy named 5/8 Smith.

I had a cousin who couldn't come see us overseas because he refused to get a passport in the name of Baby Boy, which was apparently still on his birth certificate when he was in his 40's and had no idea.

There is something about a stripper name, too, with the street you grew up on.
