// One of the best gifts is not lumbering your offspring with an embarrassing, stupid name. Ed Sheeran's latest child? Jupiter.//
by Jove that is a stupid name ( ho ho ho ho)
Last chap of Freakonomics I think has - "give a fella a dodgy name do they turn out dodgy?"
and dwells on a child who SHOULD have been called Temperance but was called Temptation ( I think) - and didnt need much temptation to turn into a naughty leddy!
One of the Oirish non-bombers of yore, was Guiseppe Conlon, who was named after an Italian POW billeted on the family. None of the Irish involved knew ( inc the priest) that if you wanted dja-zeppy, it was spelt Giuseppe. Guy Fawkes intervened. He was framed for bombing and did 16 y ( and died of TB before he could be released)
and we have a councillor Geatano - - shouldnt that be gaetano?
yes....The man named Sue - - Delicia ( or Patricia ) the stripper
what is in a name?
