IIRC Hughes in his first stint at Man U (before his return spell when Fergie was there ) he got really annoyed with players taking the p*SS out of his real name.

Why don’t you call yourself Leslie, your actual first name?

Because Mark’s my name, Leslie’s my father’s name. [Looking bemused, then smiling] No one has ever asked me that before! I was always going to be Mark Leslie Hughes, but maybe it sounded better or looked better on the birth certificate as Leslie Mark Hughes. That’s the only reason, but I was always going to be Mark.
