A few years back when we went on holiday in South Carolina, my daughter (she was 10 then) met a girl called Tequila and her bigger sister was called Brandy.

Well at least they won't have to change their names when they become strippers

I was aware of two children in the playground, Harmony and Neutrina. The father called the older one "Harm". I waited and waited but never heard him shout after the younger one.

Before my daughter was born we had decided that we wanted to use one of my dad's names James and also use Connor to hint at my family's Irish background ( way back ).

As my surname starts with a D, we decided against it as his initials would have been CJD and from my Grammar school days it would npot have been a hard leap to be known as Mad Cow for the duration of his school days.

Not sure if you mean "the name of one of my fathers", or "one of the names given to my father"...

Either way, LOL at Mad Cow!

Exactly Ni-co-la, I do try to explain to them but they seem to pronounce as they would Nicole, but substituting the e for an a. I have had some very interesting spellings when I have said my name over the phone too. Oh well.

Hahahaha!

When I worked for a hated UK Government department, some of the names people called their kids were unbelievable. Many a good laugh looking at names and also the stories of how children were conceived!
