A couple with a small boy just walked past my boat and the woman addressed the child as "T bone". What the hell is all that about ? I thought I must be imagining it but I looked it up and it is a boys name !!
I can't really believe it.
My misses, who is French, tells me that in France it is illegal to give children ridiculous names. Bloody good thing too in my opinion. You can't just let pleb chavs to do what they like or you'll get people called Eyebolt or Pistonring or whatever.
Horrible.

1. Friendless – Friendless Baxter was born in 1871 in Leeds, West Yorks. Presumably his parents thought he would be a bit of an introvert.
2. Faith Hope Charity – Faith Hope Charity Brown was born in 1892 in Gillingham, Kent. No pressure for her to become a good person then?
3. Leicester Railway – Leicester Railway Cope was born in a train carriage at Leicester Railway Station in 1863.
4. Time Of – Time Of Day was born in Hoo, Kent, in 1899. His parents clearly thought a joke that is only funny once was a suitable name for their child.
5. One Too Many – One Too Many Gouldstone was born in Walthamstow, London, in 1870. Maybe he was the last of 13 children?
6. Windsor – Windsor Castle was born in Nottingham in 1876. Her father was a bricklayer and had no relation to royalty.
7. Zebra – Zebra Lynes was born in Southampton in 1875. There is no record of her born in a zoo.
8. Ann Bertha Cecilia Diana Emily Fanny Gertrude Hypatia Iug Jane Kate Louisa Maud Nora Orphelia Quince Rebecca Starkey Teresa Ulysis Venus Winifred Xenophen Yetty Zeus Pepper – Ann was born in 1882 in West Derby, Lancs, now Liverpool. Notice anything that ties each of her 26 names together? The first letters spell out the alphabet (apart from Pepper, which was her real surname). Totally worth it.
9. That’s It Who’d Have Thought It – That’s It Who’d Have Thought It Restell was born in Strood, Kent, in 1886. Who’d have thought it indeed!
10. Mineral – Mineral Waters was born in 1892 in Rochford, Essex. Yet another child whose name was little more than a poor joke suitable for a Christmas cracker.

When I was a lad three of my mates changed their names officially to
Runway
Muesli and...
The Very Reverend big mackerel the third.
They were Trevor, Robert and Steven previously and thought their parents had lacked imagination.

I changed my name when I was 11 from Ossian (hippy parents) to Andrew due to bullying problems at school.

for some reason this thread got me thinking about the possibility of offspring arising from the liaison between Harry and Meghan Markle.
how would the old duke react to a brown baby in the House of Windsor?
would it be a repeat of what happened to Diana before the outcome is known, or more likely a disowning of Harry (who has no royal blood in his veins anyway)?

Sad to see someone who's totally pickled his brains and he has dementia as well if you ask me. |

The old duke (who has apparently retired in order to spent more time on his racism) will be pushing up daises soon - out with the old in with the new.
