Re: Best ever name for a child?
Years ago I dealt with a couple who had a little lad called Conan 
I don't get some of these unusual names. Do the parents think that it will actually give them an advantage in later life?

Re: Best ever name for a child?
I went to school with a Michael Hunt. Doesn't seem so bad until you realize that he actually went by Mike instead of Michael.
Mike by itself, no problem.... same with Hunt. But put them together and you get:
Mike Hunt
You kind of have to say it quickly and run the words together a bit to see the problem. Poor guy, it's a good thing he was a pretty normal kid and fairly popular.

Re: Best ever name for a child?
It might have been. But I really did know the guy. He was a grade above me and was super smart and pretty good and sports too. We weren't friends but I remember he was always showing everyone how smart he was and he liked to recite Pi to like 10 digits or something. Silly memorization thing but he actually was really smart.
I'm not that imaginative to make it up! It's the only odd named person that I know. I probably wouldn't have caught what it sounded like if he didn't get the odd teasing around school.
For anyone who didn't get it try this:
Mike Hunt = Mi Khunt
It's the only way I can fix it so that it sounds the same without spelling it right out and offending people.

Re: Best ever name for a child?
I really do know someone with that name! Or perhaps it's a Canadian name... not sure.
Doesn't really matter, I'm just confused as to why my post alone is typically Canadian?

See... if it were up to me, I would just have blurted it out, but not sure if we are allowed to swear on the forum although it might be fun to be banned?!?

I think you've just invented a whole cock and bull story just so that you can fanny about making dirty, obscene innuendoes willy-nilly. Well you can't make an ass out of me, I'll not be the butt of your smutty filth.

I knew a guy called York with the same surname, does that count?
