Interesting piece.

I've become somewhat used to them now, but when I first arrived in Dubai I was surprised by some of the names. No longer surprised but often amused. I know a Bong and a Jammie and have met an Apple, Fluffy and a Twinkle, as well as others. :D

Yes, read the article yesterday, and seemed to make sense about the large Spanish influence in surnames.

We have a Tom Cruz working for us, apparently.
