The BabyWebsite recently carried out a search of unusual – and unfortunate - names in the UK and the USA. Amongst the most bizarre names discovered in Britain were Justin Case, Barb Dwyer and Anna Sasin.

Other unlucky souls are also trying to lead normal lives despite being named Stan Still, Mary Christmas, Paige Turner, Chris Cross and Barry Cade. It might also be worth thanking your lucky stars you're not called Sonny Day, Rose Bush, Pearl Button or Hazel Nutt, who also make the list of 'The Most Unfortunate Names in Britain'.

When the parents of some of those people mentioned named their children, many probably didn’t even realise the implications at the time. On the positive side, though, anyone wanting to become well-known would have an added advantage.

After all, who could forget such other crackers such as the brilliantly named Tim Burr, a speed-freak named Max Power and a man called Doug Hole. Teresa Green, Terry Bull, Helen Back, Lee King, Jo King and Ray Gunn also cropped up on the list. (www.thebabywebsite.com).
