"Where does your name come from?"

I won't spoil anything for the person in question by saying how I found out where the name 'Armatige Shanks' comes from but I found out over the weekend and it's quite funny. I'm sure some of you will also know but that's not the point of this post.

My name comes from the Red Dwarf phrase 'Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast', but are there any other good reasons why people have the name they have here?

I thought his name was Bill, Tony?

Ant - I hope I am not in breach of the ant descrimination act.

Armatige - no slur intended, onee joking

Walking to the bank probably. To meet Will the Banker.

OK, so it's walking (thanks for reminding me)

What's that got to do with porcelain?

Here's a clue to someone's alias:

His Dad is an Ant
His Mum is an Ant

What was that?... Sorry, I was little distracted... trying to come up with a new forum idea here....
