On the subject of name taking, (pardon the thread-drift), in a former life as a Parks & Wildlife ranger, I was counselling a miscreant who was inclined to be a bit difficult.
A Senior Ranger, who happened to be passing by (an ex-Bobby, BTW) rushed up and said to him...
"I'll have you know, sir, I'm empowered to take your name!"
I'm still laughing about that one.
