On a radio talent quest I once heard an accordionist named Giuseppe Partelli introduced.
The compere said, "You have an Italian name, you're playing an Italian instrument, where are you from, Giuseppe?" And in a broad twang he said, "I'm a Scot frae Aberdeen." Have you met or heard of anybody whose name completely misrepresents them?
Not their name... but going through Italian customs in Rome i had a guy who was a dead ring for Peter Sellers as Closesau ... it required an incredible effort not to ask him about the minkee
