There are a few Engish names that are in the media, so you just don't think of them as being odd, for example, Roger Moore, an actor who played James Bond.
If I ever changed my last name by deed poll, I think it would have to be D'eath, an old English name.
However, what about those poor souls who have last names like Hoare, Pratt, Titmarsh or Hardwick?
Would you really want to go through life as another Elizabeth Taylor or Michael Jackson?
The name that has amused me immensely today is Alan Hiscock, I believe he is the editor of Private Eye, and frequently appears on 'Have I got news for you'.
Alan Hiscock isn't that dreadful, however, other first names may make this somewhat unfortunate name truely dreadful:
Roger Hiscock
Fanny Hiscock
Love Hiscock
Richard/Dick Hiscock
Patrick/Pat Hiscock
What name would be completely unacceptable?
What would you change your name to if you could?
