People with silly names?

I was out for a few drinks in Johannesburg last night to celebrate Bristol City's fine win to seal promotion, and ended up pulling an attractive white Afrikaans girl by the name of Rubella(?!!) (Only found this out afterwards)

Hmm..... Glad I had that MMR vaccine when I was a kid!

Anyone else know people with silly names?

Are you willy waving that you pulled?

I have had applications, at various times, from

Marilyn Haddock

Buster Biggs

and Leah Jett

How can parents give their children such names?

No I'm just surprised anyone would name their kid after a disease

Ever thought that in their homeland the disease may not be called Rubella?

That one reminds me of a relatively famous song from the 90s!
