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?

  • I'll bet other people have noticed the similarity, too. I wonder how many of them have told him about it?
