I know a lady called Bennett. She was seriously going to name her son 
Gordon - but she eventually decided that would simply be *too* cruel...

       I don't know where 'Gordon Bennett' actually came from, but my 
earliest recollection of it was from the series of "Please Sir!"

More worrying that a family surnamed Brown decided to call their son  
James; shame he uses his middle name instead would have loved to imagine
