Most British Name

garyclark · Post by **garyclark** » Sat Apr 20, 2013 8:28 pm

Benedict Cumberbatch - This one is going to be tough to beat in my mind. Especially because his full name Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch

Robert Snodgrass - There are some very British names in football. But this one tops my list.

Needs more Nigel.

There are Williams and Henrys from the US and other countries.

There are no Nigels.

I liked the names of the players for Footlights College in this old The Young Ones episode. You'll recognize some of the guest stars.

Wesley Snipes

Liz:
No, I wanted to tell you to your face that I know that I can do better than you. And I'm never going to be Mrs. Snipes. Hang on, is your name Wesley Snipes? That is insane.

Wesley Snipes:
It's insane that the actor Wesley Snipes has that name. If you saw a picture of him and a picture of me and you were asked who should be named Wesley Snipes, you'd pick the pale Englishman every time. Every time, Liz! Frankly, you should be having this conversation with him!

Why does it irrationally annoy me that he had to describe her as both the oldest granddaughter and the second oldest child of his son?

Like, who gives a fuck? "My granddaughter" suffices.

No, you meant accept. Don't try and be like a Trump apologist and say he meant something completely different than what he plainly said. You are such a revisionist.
