Sigh-Anne.

I thought the woman was mispronouncing Sian, then saw the name written down. Sigh-Anne. I mean, what on earth...?

the other was a little boy called Ragen. As in Ronald Regan, but Ragen. Ragen? I am not a name snob, but I do draw the line at deliberately misspelling surnames and then using them as a first name! Grin

I just don't understand hyphenated first names - WHY WHY WHY? I went to school with lots of Mary-Annes, Emma-Janes and Mary-Roses - silly if you ask me!

Sigh-Anne. Words fail me.

Although I did recently meet two sisters called Lee-Arna and Ell-Arna.
