In school I had a classmate whose last name was Doctor. And yes, his father was a doctor. I met a fellow once whose last name was Goon, and his parents had given him the name of Harry.

I'm pretty sure the late Tony Pelton formerly of Newcastle upon Tyne and founder of the North East Club for Pre-War Austins named his son Austin and his daughter Ruby. Later in life Tony became a resident and local councillor for the market town of Richmond in North Yorkshire.

Mike was made famous in the 1981 classic "Porkies" but predates the film by about 15 years.
