I've recently learned that the surname 'Biggerstaff' exists. Very curious about the etymological origins.
― Fantasy Eyelid (Old Lunch), Monday, 26 November 2018 16:15 (five years ago) link
If it’s related to Bickerstaffe, it’s from the name of a village in Lancashire, unfortunately.
― Madchen, Monday, 26 November 2018 17:58 (five years ago) link
Well, that's just disappointing.

I went to a native California plant garden tour today and the expert there (not the garden owner) was named Orchid Black. I didn't have the nerve t o ask her if that was her real name or her online identity. At first I thought that she picked the name from that UK series but when I got home and googled it I saw that the series is Orphan Black. In my search I found that there are indeed black orchids, so maybe Mr and Mrs Black named their daughter Orchid.

Within a few weeks of starting my first call-centre job I took a call from a 'Ramjam Funkyboogaloo-Smythe', which I was certain was a stitch up by one of my colleagues. I totally forgot about this for decades until this thread appeared, and a quick google has proved that:
