I also used to know a carrie hunt - just think of the hilarity when the first initial/last name is used, for example, on a piece of mail

I also have an old friend whose name is fiona clare king - the protocol for email addresses at the university where she working was first and middle initial with last name

I always wondered if there was actually anyone with the name Mike Hunt - too funny!

Drew Peacock is an awesome name. Seriously, do people not think before they name their kids?

I used to live in Mutley!

I lived in Ashford Road for about six months when my first marriage broke up in 1995 and it was a bit of a rough area. It's now considered an 'up-and-coming' place and house prices are through the roof.

[StillThePrettiest 3]

there's a town here called 'Lunt' which is petitioning to have the spelling changed to 'Launt' (pronunciation would stay the same) because people keep changing the sign

[*julez* 124]

I have some instances of an "Aunt Fanny" in the family tree...

There used to be a chain of sweet shops here called Fanny Farmers.

Knowing the UK meaning of the word fanny just changes things completely for me!
