to think these twins' names are ludicrous?

[lulucappuccino]

Toddlers - Dick and Fanny.
Not short for anything, apparently. British family.
Lordy.

I know them from living in the same neighborhood. Never met the 'dad' though, but chat to the mum (ordinary name).

Ok, this is going to out me, but I saw their passports today.

Well it's a bit horrible posting on here then. With such identifiable names.

Im not making this up.. I swear that growing up in the '80's there was a brother and sister in the Aylesbury area called Everard and Ophelia Dick.

Their parents are winding you up.

.. and a cousin called Connie who dresses in unsuitable clothes ?

Here's Everard ... Sometimes urban myths are true!

You met them today and managed to confirm exactly what was on their birth certificates? O rilly, pray tell how u came 2 do that?

Hmm, do they have a cousin called Pocahontas McCafferty?

Yes, I suppose it is a bit mean, me posting.

I just had to get it off my chest though!

O you just chat in passing to the Mum and she just showed you their passports. Rilly normal neighbourhood you have there.

I saw their passports today. Read the thread, BillSykes.

Yep, she was showing their first passports, which had just arrived.

Why did you see their passports?

Come on, it's perfectly believable she saw their passports when their names were put down for schools or toddler groups.

I don't think the names are that bad. But then I know loads of Dicks, and Fannys increasingly popular in my neck of the woods.

Together it's not great and very Enid Blyton

"Rilly", "u", "2" - BillSykes, Report of you're concerned about trolling.

No LFC the passports had just arrived.

I teach somewhere where people come on school trips, we once had a class visit with twins called Ronnie and Reggie.

Why did she show you their passports?

If I have twin boys, I shall call them Ronnie and Reggie.

Richard Head

Or Ben and Jerry.

Everard and Ophelia Dick are most definitely real. A friend of mine had to deal with their parents in a professional capacity and had to write them on legal documents. We howled.

Don't people RTFT these days? She showed OP their passports because it was their first passports and had just arrived. It isn't uncommon for people to show their friends their kids first passports!

Fannys increasingly popular in my neck of the woods.

at the Carry On / 1970s sitcom nature of that sentence.
