Amazing
Praise
Grateful

Which in itself is pretty good in a "I bet they hate their parents" way, but the surname is Johnson. So we've got:

Amazing Johnson !

Praise Johnson !

and then a

Grateful Johnson 8-) 8-) 8-)

Married to Brittney Griner, who is currently in a Russian jail after being caught with a tiny amount of cannabis oil, and is being used by the Kremlin as a political pawn. The twats.

A former singer with the band Annihilator was called Randy Rampage, but that's a stage name so it doesn't count.

I once had to call someone called Bernard Brownsword, whilst at work. I tried asking for Bernard, but I'm sure the person at the other end knew what they were doing when they asked for the full name.

As I'd already remarked in the office at the name of the person I needed to call, they were all primed and waiting, none of them believing me. Cue a total office meltdown when I replied with his full name to the guy on the phone. Who also, by this time, was snorting laughing.

Bernard was on leave :lol:

I think I've mentioned before, but I once worked with a company who did email solutions, who were based in a town in Michigan.

A town called Gaylord.

When I sold suspiciously expensive Diaries we did not sell them to Nigeria but if we had, say through a subsidiary, then a lot of the names for embossing would have been fantastic. Many would have been Prince, Chief, Princess and Chastity, Honour, Grateful, Graceful I think there might have been a Chief Upstanding or would have been had this happened.

I also worked with a Titti and a Boobie whilst in recruitment and we had a Honey Bear on the books.

Mt wife worked with a teacher from Glasgow who had taught a Pocahontas McKenzie.
