to think these twins' names are ludicrous?

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

How would you pronounce themAlison ?would it be ay boo and yan boo?

Ooh ooh. I forgot DD went to primary school with a girl called Sara. She had younger sisters called Zara and Zahara!

I knew a man called Mike Hunt. Amazed he didn't use Michael.

I know a Mike Rack. Ditto biggles

DH is a teacher. He has taught a pupil named Diaz Cameron and another named Passion Knight.

This thread has made me want to read the Magic Faraway Tree again.

Me too juniper I, m going yo buy ds1 them he's 9 but is dyslexic I, m sure he would enjoy reading them and I will too!

My twins are going to be Goadé and Fuquer.

I was school with a girl called Teresa Green, now married to a Brown.

On FB her name is Teresa Brown (Green) - almost as if her name is arguing with itself

I thought Ben Dover was a bad name - I went to school with a lad called that. Poor lad. He was known by everybody in school because of his name.

Sadly, Everard isn't pronounced ever 'ard.

How is it pronounced then, Wardrobespierre?

Singen isn't a favourite of mine.

Irn Brew - Fanny

Talking of calling children different versions of the same name, there are 4 sisters I know, called Emma, Emily, Amelia and Amy. Gorgeous girls, but I'd get confused if they were my kids.

My grandad was Ruchard and very short, was known to all as Little Dickie.

I came across a teenager last year called Rainbow Sweet.

"Milly" does not have to be "Emily". It could also be Mildred or Amelie/Amalia.

I know twin boys with normal first names but their middle names are Jack & Daniel, in Mums words "because that's what they were conceived on"
She loves to share this anecdote with whoever she meets, I've only ever met her 2 or 3 times myself

Richard head was a secondary teacher in Perthshire in the late 80s/early 90s. I know he was real as my exes friend showed me his entry in the phone book circa 1995.

He had been his teacher. Poor bloke 😁

Or Millicent.

The woman in the fanny advert is Nina from Nina and the Neurons. That's all I have to add.
