Think more of Uncle Monty from "Withnail & I."

Re: Childrens' names ....
My daughter went to school with an Australian girl named Kiana, when I mis-pronounced it her mother explained to me it was like Diana, but with a K. She later introduced me to her little sister, who's name was Takota, this time the mother explained it's like Dakota but with a T

A nephew of mine is Alexander Augustus
We kept our adopted daughter's birth name - Lucy - I think it's really pretty, then we added Elizabeth and Monique after two amazing women we know. It's a huge name for a tiny girl, but I figure she'll grow into it
My sister's friend, S Green, married a Mr Mould. I guess she wouldn't be hyphernating that one

Forgot about my auntie, who used to be a headmistress. Once taught a Rosie Bottom.
(really, why would you do that to your child!)
Mind you, I can't speak, my first name is gaelic, and if you translate it I become Jessie Jane!

We went for semi-traditional for our two; Kathryn Emma and Gemma Victoria.
I tend to forget which name to use (it seems more of a challenge as I mature) so I have developed a standard name that I can use for either of them that generally gets a response
"Oi... you with the brain" certainly eliminates alot of teenagers
