Railway station people names (fun)

[tractakid]

How many railway station names are also human names?

Some first name examples- Lee, Leigh, Shirley, Brandon, Barry, Nelson.

Are there any more?

Are there any well known people/celebrities that have a name (first and surname) that is formed entirely of railway station names?

You've already mentioned one, Lee Nelson

Oops. Thought the 'double-post prevention system' would kick in! Anyway, I merged the post so this one can be removed.

I think it's most cool when you take the name of one station, which forms a person's first name, and take the name of another station which forms their surname. No extra bits, like "St.", or similar is ideal.

Of course, there will be lots of close matches worth discussing too.

I seem to recall reading a humorous post a while back stating that a good fake name given for a penalty fare, to embarrass the conductor was "Barry Links", part of what inspired the thread.

I also know someone who's name qualifies

There was a minor Scottish poet with the pen-name Thurso Berwick. And who's to say that there couldn't be a Laurence Kirk [to boldly go...]?
