The father of an old friend of mine emigrated to New Zealand from somewhere in E Europe. So they Anglicised their name - to Beaver

My sons went to nursery with someone called Harry Beaver

And a friend taught a child called Winky Pubian which is my all-time favourite name

And i taught a Challenge, who certainly was.
