well Mum was a Pratt   some of her brothers took their wive's names to bypass it   but it simple meant cunning or clever so what is wrong with being a Pratt

This is a very funny thread...
I have found while looking for my relatives: Royal Albert Johnson and also a Fanny Beard!
In my hubby's tree there's a Minnie Oxley (and Minnie was the name she was christened with). 
My brother's girlfriend has a marriage between a COOK and a BLOW - Cook 'n' Blow, sounds like something from JML! lol

At work we had rather a lot of customers with amusing names - I can't post as they are all still living.  But it inspired a few of us to come up with our alter-egos!  I became Elvira Magenta-Foghorn and one of the lads became Tarquinn Fenderbolt!   We also went through a phase of using the phonetic alphabet.  I was Lima Juliet and we had a scottish chap who liked a drink or two, and using his initials he became Whiskey Hotel!  lol

Many of these old surnames have died out, either through too many females being born, or through disuse and change in an era which though it considers itself more open is at least as prudish as the Victorians.

just doodling around and found this section on roots chat ,it made me chuckle.
Having a keen interest in surnames as ya do I often look at wedding announcements to see if any of the names could be a link with mine , and to see if the bride as changed her surname for better or worse.
