For the purposes of a music thread, I found myself looking up David Van Day, having always assumed the burger-flipping tosspot had been christened Bert Gubbins or suchlike. But no, that's the name on his birth certificate.
Ditto Frank Zappa. And I got in a ridiculous argument with a work colleague who absoutely refused to believe that Madonna was actually called, erm ... Madonna.

I still haven't read his Stalin book. It's been gathering dust near the bottom of my 'books I really should get round to reading someday soon' pile for a couple of years now.

It is sort of made-up, though. Billy's his middle name (or, to be more precise, William's his middle name).

If Julia Bonk had been one of Russ Meyer's starlets rather than a Left member of the Saxony parliament, I'd have put money on her name being made up.
