When it comes to taking a married name, it really is for worse and not for better for some women, a new UK database has found.

Records show more than 50 women became Mary Christmas after their wedding with the first recorded example being Mary Cannon who married in Alton, Hampshire, in 1837.
Other wives who married into unfortunate surnames included Holly Oakes, Eileen Dover and Hazel Nut,
The website, which has launched the new marriage search system MarriageMatchTM, also found women who became Queenie King, Mona Lott and Jean Pool.

Joy Rider, Lily Pond, Anita Bath, Candy Barr and Kerry Oakey were others among the embarrassing names.

I knew someone who went to school with a girl who's name was Teresa Green and another's was Ophelia Dick.

Used to see one Richard Knee mentioned in pennants bowls results around the West Pilbara. Also recall a one time minister, Richard Face, in the NSW government receiving a live-to-air phone call from Bob Maumill asking to speak with Dick Face. The secretary was not impressed.

On a trip to the core laboratory during my last course, wasn't paying any attention to the guy giving us a tour on account of the fact that apparently not only had Mr and Mrs Kerr named their son Wayne, he'd then named his company after himself: there in the lab was an oscilloscope supplied by the Wayne Kerr Electrical Co.

The Cloggies didn't see the funny side.

Also knew a Mr & Mrs Kerr; they named their first son Joe (not even Joseph). The father was up for naming their second Wayne, but the missus stopped him.
