@MissA Ahem You missed Shirley Shirley?
@Hypocrisy_Central Sorry, the toothpicks holding my eyelids slipped. I can’t imagine a last name Shirley. Are you making this up?
I knew a man with 3 first names: Paul Mark Clark. He used all 3 names. All the time.
@MissA : Yeah, he knew, and he told everyone around him who he was. He was obnoxious.

Another name that, although not the same still makes me laugh is Toe-knee Hand-cock. Tony Hancock, a once famous British comedian :¬)
Well, thanks H.C., I now have names on the brain. Here is Q that I hope you find enjoyable. Please feel free to use the names from this Q as inspiration.
@ucme, it sounds like it picked the right profession. Any chance that was his stage name that he selected just for the punch line?
Douglas Douglas
George George
Gregory Gregory
Mackenzie Mackenzie
Taylor Taylor
Riley Riley
The last three are the names of some of my female cousins. Unisex and last name/ first name combo.
Owen Owen

@ucme – I just saw a fine movie the other day, a rather obscure artsy one, where “Toe-Knee Chest-Nut” is used, rather brutally. Girly (1970) – happens to be on NetFlix instant play right now, for the Americanos.

I see they have that bit edited in the trailer.
Those crazy Brits.
As an aside, I have neighbors who both have the birth first name of Carol.
@MissA Are they both spelled the same way? I know a Carol and Carole. Also a Francis and Frances (Frank and Frankie).
@MacBean I’m not altogether sure about that. He goes by CM and she, by Carol(e).
@ipso wow, cheese-fest supreme
