    Names You Work(ed) With

    In the past, I've worked with guys with the names Harry Dyck, and Sikon Yu.
    We used to have Steve Davis, and still have Nicole Ritchie (not the famous ones obviously) working in the office.
    I found out today that Qing Kong works here too.

    Anyone else run across some famous or funny names?

    Today one of my coworkers had to call up a guy whose name was Valeriu Mortu. Mortu means the dead one. It was funny cos he didn't answered himself and she had to ask to speak with Mr. the Dead and added RIP.

    Pete Best
    Michael Landon
    David Suzuki
    ..and this in a fairly small office (<50 staff)
    As for silly names:
    Randy Nurse (engineer)
    Doctor Sweet (dentist)

    The guy who works at the offset printing place where we buy out letterhead and envelopes etc. from is Jackie Chan.
    There is a chap who lives two doors down the street from me who is a locksmith called Tony Abbott.
    The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

    We've got a DJ De'ath, which I always think is a seriously cool name.
    You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

    We once had some dealings with a firm called William Hare and our contact was a Mr Rabbit. Then there's the major firm of engineers whose waterproofing expert was a Mr Leak.
