Talking Re: What’s In A Name?

The most unusual surname that I ever came across is De’ath. We had a Lieutenant De’ath on board a warship in the mid sixties.

His name was pronounced De ath as two separate words.

A search of the London phone directory reveals just 10 De’aths so that makes it very rare indeed.
