It reminds me of a bit in Irma Kurtz’s book about travelling around the US on greyhound buses, where an exhausted, visibly poor, hillbilly teenage mother on a long overnight trip, keeps saying to her obstreperous child, ‘Where’s your coat at, Travis? Where’s your hat at, Travis? Travis, you are TROUBLE!’

Travis screams Jeremy Kyle guest to me, sorry.

I quite like it. I taught a Travis about 10 years ago so he'd be in his early 20s now but he's the only one I've ever taught. It does bring to mind that 'turn' song by the band Travis! But that's not a bad thing. I think it's a good name to grow into.
