Real Names (fair dinkum mate!)

If you have been christened with an odd name, then you can relate to the children who were named Tram, Babberley, Despair, Brained and Dozer. But surely the prize for the weirdest name for a child would have to go a couple in Kent in 1980’s who called their child, “Depressed Cupboard Cheesecake”. That’s just cruel isn’t it?

Following is a list of real names of actual people.
