Name calling

Found some interesting quotes on “Names”. Yes, names. Here they are –

Mr Ball? How very singular.
– Tomas Beecham

Some people have difficulty deciding on the name for their new-born baby. Some have rich relatives.
– Don McElroy

The batsman`s Holding the bowler`s Willey.
– Brian Johnson
[The commentator was trying to explain that Holding was batting and Willey was bowling]

And here is a conversation overheard –

Character One: Surely you can`t be serious?
Character Two: I am serious. And don`t call me Shirley.
