I once met a family.....
They had a US mother and Yugoslavian dad (in the days of the cold war)
Their mother liked to read and to name children after characters in books.
DD1 - Glumdalclitch (a character from Gulliver's travels)
DS1 - Ocean (from Oceans ride)
DS2 Heathcliff (work that one out for yourself)
DS3 - Jeswaldo [sp?]
DS4 - Thirsten Twirst [sp?]
My dad wanted to lend her the hitch-hikers guide the galaxy
My mum threatened him with death if he did as she couldn't face being responsible for a slarty bardfast or a zafod
Go on - beat that for daft names (loved the kids btw, who were my age or younger - and Glummy - if you are out there on MN, I would love to get in touch)
