Met a woman in the playground today who proudly told me her daughter's called Crystal May. I guffawed. No one else saw the funny side.

What are your kids names?

Crystal May. It sounds like Crystal Maze.

Wow that's very rude. That was an unkind response and says so much about you. I think Crystal is cool!

Did she have a brother called Chase?

My thought that she probably had more than one Crystal May. Maybe twins. Crystal May and Krystle-Mae.

Holiday, there's nothing wrong with Crystal. Crystal is a lovely name. May is a lovely name. But if you're British and we're alive during the 90's you would instantly make the connection with a popular game show.

It's an unfortunate name, but still rude to laugh. I hope you apologised.

I might have thought that it sounded a bit like crystal maze but I wouldn't have commented on it or laughed about it. That's just rude.

Come on, what are your kids names?

So things that belong to her are Crystal May's Grin
