In fact it might be a fake brian harvey that I am reading

I have sunk so low

This is your fault op

Oh for fuck's sake now I'm reading brian harvey's twitter for no reason apart from procrastinating about work and OP's inclusion of both Brian and Harvey has set me on a random google journey :/

I'm not sure I make assumptions about kids based on their names, maybe their parents a little! On rereading not sure my associations are what you were looking for :D

Top 3, nice names. Brian - my dad! Bottom 3, not to my taste.

Charlie-cocaine

Toby - Inn cheap carvers restaurants
