Sam Leitch Loyal Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Continuing the place-name connection, WWF Scotland has a spokesman called Lang Banks. At skool I had a woodwork teacher called Mr Wood. One for the musically cultured among you: on his first solo tour of Japan posters all over the country advertised concerts by that well-known ex-Yes keyboardist Rock Wankman. Finally, in Paisley I here the wummin give all their weans the same first name. They know to whom she is referring as she just calls each one by his or her surname.

ian_mac Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) Met a girl when I was younger. She was at school with a mate of mine. Her name was Fay Govan. She had moved up here from England so had no idea why everyone found her name so funny. Edited March 7, 2013 by ian_mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 At a social event one time I asked a girl what her name was. "Lisa Lane," she replied. So I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Peebles Tackle Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Not unusual. However, the Heilan' tradition of sticking -ina on the end of a male name to make it female cracks me up. I used to work in The Snaffle Bit in Glasgow (teuchter pub) - honestly, some of the names were astounding! I used to work with a Michaelina & there was an Angusina who came in!

I used to work with a Michaelina & there was an Angusina who came in! Angusina! I have seen Allanina before but that's even better. I know of a GP named Dr Pepper and a surgeon named Dr De'Ath. My favourite though - and Blackpool Jags can probably confirm this - is an undertakers in Blackpool that trades uner the name Box Bros.

Happy to confirm that Box Brothers are indeed the leading funeral specialists in this neck of the woods. One of the physios at our place was married to one of the partners. I won't, however, try to tell you that her maiden name was Ina Black, and that she appended her married surname by way of hyphenation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
