Benedict Cumberbatch - This one is going to be tough to beat in my mind. Especially because his full name Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch

Robert Snodgrass - There are some very British names in football. But this one tops my list.

I liked the names of the players for Footlights College in this old The Young Ones episode. You'll recognize some of the guest stars.

Liz:
No, I wanted to tell you to your face that I know that I can do better than you. And I'm never going to be Mrs. Snipes. Hang on, is your name Wesley Snipes? That is insane.

Wesley Snipes:
It's insane that the actor Wesley Snipes has that name. If you saw a picture of him and a picture of me and you were asked who should be named Wesley Snipes, you'd pick the pale Englishman every time. Every time, Liz! Frankly, you should be having this conversation with him!

I've probably seen that movie a dozen times and I just now got this joke. (About his name.)

Why does it irrationally annoy me that he had to describe her as both the oldest granddaughter and the second oldest child of his son?

Like, who gives a fuck? "My granddaughter" suffices.

Just to clarify, 28 months ago I meant to write "accent" and not "accept".

No, you meant accept. Don't try and be like a Trump apologist and say he meant something completely different than what he plainly said. You are such a revisionist.
