I used to think it would be fun to have a son, named "[my surname] hyphen". So, with my married name, he'd be called something like Johnson Hyphen Johnson-Smith.

Good thing I never had one, eh Wink

youarewinning · 11/08/2013 15:43

Text my friend earlier. She has no idea if the name was her real name or 'preferred' name. It was an interview so she was only teaching the class for half an hour. She said girl was white and very well spoken and genuinely lovely. She turned down the job as didn't like the headteacher and accepted a job 20 miles away so never has come across this girl since.

garlicagain · 11/08/2013 15:39

AFAIK there's still no children actually registered as L-A but I live in hope...

Me, too Grin And how about a 4TsQ and a P2la?

ShowOfHands · 11/08/2013 15:33

Ladasha/L-a is the urban myth which refuses to die. AFAIK there's still no children actually registered as L-A but I live in hope...

I've never met a real person with the same name as me though I know there are two other MNers with the same name.

I only know one of the following...

Peta
