In tonights Shropshire Star there is an item about a local couple campaigning for greater availability of starter homes. Her surname was CRAPPER. I bet she cant wait to marry her boyfriend to dispose of her surname!! Anyone know of any other equally squirming surnames currently in existence?

Try teaching a Jenna Taylor - you'd have thought her parents would have said her name out loud several times before inflicting it on her!
The kids all picked up on it.

Pocock- there's one not far from here, at Hinstock. There were a lot of Pococks around the Drayton area when I lived there!
Remember Treblecock- in the Grimley's? He said it was pronounced "Treble- Coe"!

Jack Mycock played for Town in the '50's.
Some parents with ordinary surnames don't think of the effect of the initials of Christian names, e.g. Tim Watt or Colin Shore.
I bet most of us know someone called Mike Hunt ;D
