Sounds more like an illness than a first name
I pity the person with that one
Is it male or female?

I think it was male, I must admit I didn't pay much attention to it because it was a false positive for a relative.

Wasn't that a character on The Addams Family? Uncle Festus? Sounds like a nasty skin condition.

It was Fester in the Addams Family.
I agree it sounds like a nasty skin condition though. "I'm sorry, but you've got Festus" *cue EastEnders drum sequence*
