I remember a joke from childhood where the punch line was "Seymour Hiney." I know - but remember it was from childhood! Today's BBC News offers some of Great Britain's most unfortunate names.
What do you call some of the most unlucky people in Britain?

Justin Case, Barb Dwyer and Stan Still. Joining them on the list are Terry Bull, Paige Turner, Mary Christmas and Anna Sasin.
