I once knew a woman called "Odecia Pilgrim" which would make a lovely name for a discworld character.

Also the president of NIgeria "Goodluck Johnson" sounds like he ought to be a relative of a certain discworld architect

What about the first woman chief of the Cherokee nation, Wilma Mankiller.

Mark De Man could have been in UA; such a good name for a footballer.

I know someone local whose name is Cecil Quarryman and you could not imagine anyone who looks less like a "Cecil" and enjoys the nickname of "Tiny."
He is at least 6'8" and I would estimate tips the scale at over 300 pounds. He works in a wrecking yard and lives down the road from me with his mum. Also sings in the church choir.

Life imitating art! I hope he isn't one of the Breccia

Benedict Cumberbatch from Sherlock has a great name for anything

I was thinking that too

I heard a great name yesterday, but it was in the doctor's waiting room so I don't want to say

Oh go on. You know you want to!

Evidently not

"Ozias" was a good one that I saw on a tombstone

In the paper I was reading today was an education piece written by a person called "Widget Finn". Magnificent!

Oh what sadistic gits named their child Widget?

He (presumably) must have endured hell in the playground, and especially if he was around when the beer can with the widget in the bottom came out.

Maybe his parents are celebrities.

How about Praise-God Barebone?

Originally christened "Unless-Jesus-Christ-Had-Died-For-Thee-Thou-Hadst-Been-Damned Barebone"!!!!
