I must be bored. Here's a quiz -I'm after famous people whose name is a short sentence. Robbie Burns, Nobby Styles, (or Harry) Pam Ayres, ....?
Ivor Biggun
Bigus Dickus?
Roger Waters. Jeremy Irons. Ben Folds.
> Bigus Dickus?
Is that Latin for Boris Johnson?
Randy Bumgardener. Not sure if it's really a sentence, but couldn't resist posting the funniest ever politicians name.
Ted Hughes. Johnny Dawes.
The old sexist joke:-
Scots man, Ben Doon...
My name is the punctuation.
wasn't he Phil McAvity's mate?
I think Ben and Phil are friends of William Fitzpatrick and Patrick Fitzwilliam.
Erm...
Jimmy Greaves ... Britney Spears ... Bill Withers ... Camilla Parker Bowles ... Norman Bates
Also Santa Claus..?
Catherine Cookson?
And Theresa May, but Victoria Wood...
William Shakespeare
Theresa Green
Richard Rogers, Stevie Nicks, Tom Waites,
Dick Trickle
My former workplace employed a US academic called Randy Thrasher on some project or other. Rumours of his chronic tennis elbow were inevitable.
Ben Stokes, Roger Moore
Donald Trump
And can we have a subcategory for people's names that are a sentence and would attract a prison sentence.
Robbie Burns
Stevie Nicks
Are there any that would get a life sentence?
That work's as a sentence if it is an instruction.
Obviously
I of course meant it it a card playing context
You could also have a warning sentence like Cliff Richard
Or a question - Dick Tracy
Years ago I used to work with a guy called Ken Hard.
Isaac Hunt
Walt Disney. [As in old joke about difference between Frank Sinatra and Walt Disney. - Frank sings and Walt Disney.]
Bobby Tupper
William Makepeace
Jesus Saves and Gordon Banks
Randy Vanwarmer (showing my age a bit)
the brothers drew and chris peacock.....
> Isaac Hunt
and his brother Mike
Fanny Chmelar.
Robin Banks?
> And can we have a subcategory for people's names that are a sentence and would attract a prison sentence.
Johnny Dawes - but he'd probably get off with a fine however badly injured the cyclist was.
Where I worked once there was someone called Gun Killa. I mean it was their actual name, such a shame they weren't a gangsta rapper!
Edit: has anyone suggested Ben Moon yet?
Michael Bridges
Randy Learner
Julian Dicks
This is off topic, but there used to be footballer called Fitz Hall, whose nickname was "One Size"... Always thought that was genius.
Ben Moon isn't a sentence. Ben Moons would be.
EDIT: Actually, I suppose it would be if considered an instruction....
Tess Daly.
I Must iterate in a spoil-sportish way (pedantically and as a former teacher) that for a name to be a sentence it must have a verb in it!

Really?

Almost as good as 'Chariots' Offiah.
Oscar Wilde
Off topic, but see also a couple of cricketers:
Monde "All Hands" Zondeke, the South African leg spinner (presumably not named after his behaviour at the office Christmas party).
Paul "Human" Romaines of Gloucestershire
b
Nile Rodgers
> Ben Folds.
How many does he fold?
well an incomplete sentence perhaps in both senses of the term
Randy Andy he what?
William Burroughs.
And her sister Poppy.
