Try the Benedict Cumberbatch name generator
From Bumberstump Humperdinck to Tiddleywomp Candycrush see the random Cumberbatch-inspired names and how they’d affect our headlines
Benedict Cumberbatch’s wonderfully unusual name has some competition thanks to a tumblr widget.
The clever gizmo (whose creator wandaventham shares a name with Cumberbatch’s mother) can churn out countless random concoctions of words that sound a bit like the Sherlock star’s moniker.
From Wimbledon Tennismatch to Bumblebee Curdledmilk, some are a bit of a stretch (Jonnycash Lingerie?!), but the tumblr user explains: “I say his name a lot, but it takes extra effort to come up with a fun new variation each time, so I got this script to do the thinking for me.”
In honour of these funky new names we had a look at how the Cumberbatch name generator would have affected some of our previous headlines about the star…
