My favourite is a guy I worked with for a while who was called James Timoney. He did, of course, prefer the name Jim.

I have to admit to humming the tune mercilessly.

Back when I were 17, my provisional driving licence had my formal title as "Doctor", for a jape.

This is a Nectar card, this proves nowto.

Who has the best name and can provide clean and clear evidence may get some prizes from cash n carrion?

>/Paris cause well you know!!!

Of course it's been 'shopped - the numbers aren't blocked out on the original....

Nah, far too complicated.

Occam's razor says that he's just filled out a Nectar application form in the name of Hugh Jass. They don't give a shit what name you want on it.

Off to Sainsburys now to collect some points for that nice Mr. M. T. Merciless, who lets me use his card.

found on a memory stick left on a train naturally

If you look carefully the 'ss' at the end of Jass is slightly higher than the 'Ja'. No CSI type software needed here.

The S in JASS is slightly lifted and is consistent across both of them, something you would expect from a single letter punch being mis-aligned. If this was a photoshop job then you would expect them to be inconsistent with each other or uniform on the baseline.

Still, it does not prove that some guy didn't sign up for a nectar card with a fake name. I would be more convinced with a drivers license or a debit card (but not a credit card as you can add duplicate cards on to your account with any name).

http://www.yournotme.com - there is 1 Hugh Janus :)

Means nothing, you wouldn't find me on a searchable electoral register either. If I was called Hugh Jass or Ivor Biggun I'm pretty sure I'd opt out too.

Doesn't have his name in it's database, it's based on the 2001 census (which was the last not to have an opt out) so he could be younger than 26 and called hugh jass.

there is a person called Cherrypie according to www.yournotme.com, parents eh who'd have them.

Do a search for the name on 192.com and a number of Hugh Jass's come back!

Choices in names says gay Paree ?

but easiest of all is simply to make a formal request ... I, for example, have an account in the name of Michael Mouse.

... www.yournotme.com should surely be www.yourenotme.com :-(

... so we call him Isaac.

Paris, cos she's got one too.

I win!

Try googling Seymour Bush...

Ian

I know a gentleman by the name of Michael Hunt. Yes he shortens his name the same as I do.

The one with Seymour Butz on the label, please

I thought that was already won by Batman bin Suparman a while back.

The red cape with the black, pointy-eared cowl please...

I used to work with a gay guy called ....

Thats honestly true...

Years ago I had a shareware word game called BAGO;

-the author called himself Hugh Jarse. There were 'easter eggs' which popped up pictures of scantilly-clad buxom females;, apparently at rare, random intervals. -or at least, despite trying, I never found the combination to trigger them. :(

Didn't George Michael register at hotels under the name Hugh Jass. I can't be arsed to google it.

I went to school with a girl called Joy Staines. It didn't seem funny at the time ...

I used to work with a programmer, poor fellow ... first name Richard, last name Head. He never used the nickname "Dick". Understandable.

Google it - is quite a popular name...

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned the perennial "Drew Peacock" yet.

(coat because I'm checking all your IDs to make sure they're real)

A couple of years ago, there was a hullaballoo over women at Augusta National (where The MAster's golf tournament is held) and a protester actually managed to get quoted in the newspaper under the name Heywood Jablome.

At the first company I worked at, there were a few interesting names including a Tony Moroni, Dick Tate and, yes, there was a Michael Hunt. I was told that Michael was very sensitive about his name being shortened, so I never risked it.
