Unfortunatel names
« on: Saturday 08 April 23 08:21 BST (UK) »
In the course of my research i came across somebody with the Christian names Victor Timothy. I looked on Freebmd and found half a dozen. What sort of parent calls their child Vic Tim?

haha, thanks for the giggle! Must add, although unfortunate use of surnames only. My husband worked for a company that amalgamated, using the last names of the previous owners.  BELLE-FOSH. A client laughed out loud when he saw it. "Do you know what fosh is in my country? POO!"  Translating the other from French makes it Pretty-Poo...or a dozen other synonym pair ups from which I've chosen wisely. ;D ;D ;D
