Was just reading about what a bank manager would be called - or wouldn't be called!

To me Sarah and Rachel are teachers names and Tallulah and Coco are hooker/lapdancer names!

Discuss - fight, yell, bite, scratch etc.............

No don't agree.

Prob 35 years ago somebody was saying the same thing about Sheila and Samantha.

This reminds me of a cheesy equality exercise we had to do at an induction day for a previous job. You had ten fictional characters (Brian Bloggs, Sanjay Agarwal etc.) and ten contents of bags (make up, hairbrush and spare pair of tights; Sikh comb and bangle; heavyweight legal documents; and so on), and you had to match the bag to the owner by looking at the contents and guessing who would have what. The answer, as if you haven't already guessed, was that you can't judge a person by their name/clothes/ethnic origin - the make up and tights belonged to Brian Bloggs who was undergoing a sex change, the Sikh paraphenalia belonged to Elsie Reader who was in the process of converting, and so on and so on and so on.

My table refused to participate in the exercise because it was so blatantly a trick question.

I once knew a finance manager called Adette.
True.
It never stopped making me giggle.
