Re: Unfortunate Business Names
Not a business name but I do have a contractor whose name is Peter Ennis. And yes, he uses only his first initial and surname when signing his name.

When I worked in the UK many years ago I worked with a fella whose name was Richard Armour, although he was known to all as Dick Armour.

There was a guy behind me in school called Dick Ovary. I sh1t you not. Not sure of the spelling. I think he was very careful to call himself Richard.Hornet wrote:When I worked in the UK many years ago I worked with a fella whose name was Richard Armour, although he was known to all as Dick Armour.
You have to wonder about some parents. Like the couple in Wales who had a son and called him David. In the full and certain knowledge that the Welsh short name for David was Dai, and their surname was Young.
Re: Unfortunate Business Names
I know of a guy who worked in a driving theory test centre (no idea if he's still there) whose surname was Skidmore.
