An old friend in the US has named her baby daughter McCaa. The only reason I know it's a girl is because her middle name is Laura!

Roxanne Tigerlily. This little girl was at the till in Asda in front of us some time last year. Her Grandmother said "Tell the cashier lady your name" and she came out with Roxanne and her gran told her to tell the lady her full name.

She was about 6 I think.

SalbySea - that reminds me of a boy called Earl I knew years ago.

Lady

I was at Monkey World in Dorset with my DH about 4 years ago and I heard this man shouting his kids, Benedict and Prayer, YUK.

Mintyy: the Huns were possibly of Turkic origin, so he's probably seen as a hero there. This one is definitely not Turkish ...
