Mine is my Japanese auntie…
Michiko Wilding.
If I didn’t have Japanese family the coolest name would be really not cool. We are not a family of cool names as a rule.

No cool names at all.
That’s an amazing surname
But you have to choose one from the uncool ones as the coolest.
That’s the challenge.
Jesus, they’re all totally beige.
Had a distant uncle called Hermenegildo
Woah!
James Stewart
I wanna be one of the best actors of all-time Instead I’m a crappy racing car driver.
James Stewart is/was probably my number one dream man. But if you had a cool name based on it being the same as a famous person there’d be a lot of pressure to live up to it.
My uncle is called Neil Young.
Does he live down south? If he does, you could say he’s a Southern Man
Nothing particularly exciting. One branch had the surname Wildman, which I always thought was quite cool, but none paired with exciting enough first names.
Quite the opposite, Middlesbrough.
Way to ruin a shit joke ynot
That’s an excellent surname!
Yeah true. I can’t live up to Jimmy, no way.
Although, (and I’ve possibly written about this before) I once had a comedy-sketch of a job interview that made me realise I can’t live up to the name Jackie Stewart either.
The interviewer met me in reception and said my name was like the F1 driver, and asked if I liked F1. I said ‘no, not really, not my thing’ and I think my face gave it away that I thought it was boring nonsense.
We got up to her office and I’m not shitting you, the walls were jampacked with framed Formula 1 photos. Including one of Jackie Stewart. There was a toy car on her desk, ffs.
Didn’t get the job.
I wonder if all the candidates had other formula 1 names.
This reminds me of that time @Songs_about_ducking had a car shaped bed as an adult.
It’s probably me and my name is Colin
My grandad’s middle name was Locaby. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone with this as a first name or surname.
My late grandad was called Bertram Brown. I like the alliteration in that.
