Re: What’s In A Name?
Surnames only kerrie I but it was a good try and quite funny too.
I never knew that about the origin of double-barrelled names katex. I always thought that it was some people trying to be posh and emphasising or rather trying to emphasise that they were better than us. So thanks! I’ve just been educated – again!
Ah! Yes! The choice of first names and the acronym they, with the surname, could produce. I knew a guy in the navy who was named Frank Arthur Roger Thompson. Imagine the ribbing that he got at school? Don't imagine what we called him. I also knew a guy with 3 first names and the acronym starting and ending with a T.
It was Clinton who started all this place name as a first name nonsense with his daughter Chelsea wasn’t it? Although I remember many years ago a die hard Liverpool supporter named his off spring after all the Liverpool first team.
