In my time as a Secretary to a Sales Director, I used to ask the name of the caller before transferring him to my very strait laced boss. Had some strange named people, but the two who stick in my mind, and they were realy called this was Mr Crowsfoot, and Mr Cobbledick. The poor men must have got used to strange looks when asked their name, and probably got asked to repeat it on the phone, when people said PARDON?
