When I first started teaching in the South Western suburbs of Sydney there were supposedly a pair of Asian twins called Pepsi and Fanta.

X was a symbol for Christ in some places when chrisianity was banned, hence, alos, the use of Xmas for Christmas, It is the Greek letter Chi.

explains it fully..

Here endeth the lesson..

Chocolate was her name eh... uh ha... Is that what they're calling it now

At my work we have Kirsten, Kristin, few Kylies, Khrystie, Krystal, Khate! They're all over 20 so can't blame the Khardashians.:-)

I was just thinking that I never come across people with strange names at work.
Imagine interviewing someone for a role!

Try having to write some of these names on cakes...I have to double and sometimes triple check what I'm meant to be writing!

Because you live n work in a bubble

I'm NOT reading this thread.... Not with the GranddaughterGruffallo due in 5 weeks time....

We have had the no strippers, no hookers and spell it R EYE T conversations... But they have decided on a name.... And I dodnt know its not Bogan, coz they wont tell me what it is

So I'm steering clear.... Just in case you're wondering

It was at work that we had to get used to having Norwegians around. A number have double-barrelled first names, like the French Jean Paul, only rather more unusual to the English speaker -eg Bent Martin, Odd Kare, Odd Erik.

Aussie ones I find strange - Brock (short for Broccoli?), Jorji

Here in the Uk there seem to be a lot of Mai's in certain sections of society.

Ellie-Mai
Lily-Mai
Lacey - Mai
Billie-Mai
Kayley-Mai

and people named after cars,,, Mercedes, Porche, Kia, Lexi (lexus) and Kapri

i was not serious i know what you mean.

in the US there are signs saying Ped Xing which is where people cross the road.

Lexi is short for Alexa or Alexandra. It is only Bogan if the child was registered with the short version of the name. Otherwise it is fairly posh.

nice try....he he..

So no Sharon Lut's or Wayne Kerrs
