The one 50 I remember having had more than one (and I am fairly young) is 50007, originally Hercules before getting Sir Edward Elgar

Q8 What was the name carried by 87101

I don't know why I am expecting to hear the Q.I. alarm of falling in to a trap, but was the name carried Stephenson (latterly on 87001 because it looked identical before retirement)

There was also another Class 50 to carry two names, in the 1980s Doncaster sent one out on a test run after overhaul with the wrong nameplates, I have a feeling 50033 was somehow involved.

At least those which carried 2 names were more decent than our trams 202 was originally DH Lawrence and was replaced by 'Pudsey' a couple of years ago during Children in Need! They could have taken one of the rubbish names off like 'Robin Hood' or 'Brian Clough'
