steveo Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 True storyA friend of a friend's mother was Terry (Monty Python) Jones's cleaner. She had two boys called Genghis and Adolf. I kid you not.Terry had the family round one afternoon and made the boys some food. My pal says his abiding memory is of Terry standing on the back door step shouting "Genghis! Adolf! Pizza."I can't tell you their surname because I think they still live around here but that was daft as well Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/42900-whats-the-most-outrageous-kids-name-youve-ever-heard/page/2/#findComment-736174 Share on other sites More sharing options...
