Phil Bull wanted to name one after Ho Chi Min but Weatherbys wouldn`t allow it and he ended up calling Ho Mi Chin or something like that. He complained to the Jockey Club that another owner should not have been allowed to name one after Henry Kissinger then.

Another surprising name that was passed was a decent horse named Ribbentrop, after the Nazi Foreign Minister. I think he was owned by Lord Rosebery.

Can't say the horse is good but Charlie Wingnut (2.20 Sedgefield) is my pick. Can't get more famous than first in line to the throne.
