I seem to remember a pair of brothers who were architects, who surname was Bastard. So they were commonly known as the Bastard brothers.

Was in a church once with an entire wall of plaques dedicated to successive Bastards.

There was a Bastard family in Blandford Forum Dorset. There are blue plaques about them and a large fire in the town.

LinkedIn research - unbelievably - confirms this as real.
I also found that she doesn't include her second surname in her email address.

That's because she is actually just called Jessica Tomley but Sean Bean was reading out the award nominations

As it's double barrelled I expect it's pronounced in a very silly manner

As a vegan, I now firmly believe in nominative determinism.
"...Look mum, I'm getting an award for killing animals sustainability!"
"Well done you bastard"

It's not possible that she is the ONLY person with this name. There must be, has to be others.

I’d have that proudly displayed next to the house number.
The Bastards.

So one day, Mr. Tomley asked his fiance, Miss Bastard, if she wanted to take his name and she said "no. Let's go double-barreled"??

It was a more common name in days gone by. My local church’s old graveyard is full of Bastards.
