There's a wee guy kicking about Scotland named Roch (named after St Roch) and his surname is Starr. No need for him to think up a porn actor name if he ends up in that line of work.

One of the referees in the Club World Cup was the excellently-named Fu Ming. I think he might have been fourth official at one of the Liverpool games.

Is it the name 'Mercedes'  you're referencing? Cuz Mercedes Benz cars are named after one of the designers' daughters. The girls' name came before the car.
