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!

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

Nancy66 · 27/03/2009 14:54

Yep - I was on the common near my home and I heard a woman calling 'Tarantino' and I thought - oh that's a dogs name - Reservoir Dogs - very clever...but it was a kid.

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.

Lady

(the woman officially changed her first name to "lady" make her look like an aristocrat - nutter!)

belgo · 27/03/2009 16:29

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