I think the chavtastic names are disgusting, eg calling a child Chardonnay!

I thought I had misheard her name!! How ridiculous!

I remember going to register Sam and the registrar saying how nice, and normal his name was, after some of the weird and wonderful she had recently. His proper name is Samuel John.

Food for thought - I quite fancy 'Retina' as a name - will have to be for a pet of sorts - too old to have any more offspring to inflict it on!

My initials spell A.S.S So as you can imagine, I tend to leave my middle name out when I write things. And it wasn't just because I married a Smith, my maiden name had the same initial!!
