Actually I think he's name was twogeese an surname was rainbow. I know a lot of rainbows, there is a commune type place in Wales full of very out there people and all the kids born there are given rainbow as a surname. Two geese were apparently the first thing his mum saw after he was born.

Think she may of been high on something

Lol Minty think I need to 'borrow' a couple of those to add to our list just to see the look on DH's face Wink

Yup and the poor lads surname I kid you not is savage. His dad was a proper hippy and had about 14 kids all with really out there names. I don't know how he justified calling his son strange savage though.

There are some very rum spellings here - are they typos or is that why you only know one of them - because it's a normal name just spelt wrong? Confused

Rowenna - Rowena?

Margret - Margaret?

Hestier - Hester?

Alyiousa - Aloysia? (fem. form of Aloysius - that one must be a type surely - it makes no sense)

Pheobe - Phoebe?

Charlette - Charlotte?

Loui - Louis?

Rowenna came up twice. Are they actually pronounced Rowenna or is it supposed to be Rowena?
