Just out of sheer curiosity, there is a widely repeated story, which may just be an urban myth, that a couple somewhere, somewhen, bestowed on their unfortunate offspring the names 'Depressed Cupboard Cheesecake'.
Does anyone know if this is true? And if so where and when?
Apparently born in 1972, in Kent?
According to a book entitled "Do Ants Have Assholes?: And 106 of the World's Other Most Important Questions", page 21.
At one time in the 20th century if a Registrar didn't agree to the couple's odd choice of names for their baby he would insist they choose a different one. That news didn't stay hidden in the registrar's office; it often found its way into the daily newspapers.
