This is completely true - visiting Kings' maternity ward, got chatting to the mother of lovely newborn twins, named Giorgio and Armani. Years later at the playground at Brockwell Park, heard those names being called out to each other on the swings and saw them as 5/6 year olds! Fabulous.

Sheridan was a girl I used to know so I am surprised to see it as a male name. I like the way Scots, Irish and Welsh names are popular in their respective countries. I think the rise in the No of Jacks, Harrys, Mabels, Rubys, Henrys, Ethels, etc, could be a similar occurrence in England.

I can believe the story, but I went to school (year below) with one of his sons (no idea if he has more than one), and his name was Bill.

I've known a couple of Beverley (males) both would now be between 60 and 90 suggesting that it was a bloke's name. What a great term bloke is, and geezer too. They'd make great names.


Mate was dog sitting for 'Scrotum' and 'Retch' walking around the park shouting their names. John Seldom Gummer called his dogs Saddam and soemthing like Tariq (it wasn't Tariq but another henchman)


What about Renton?

      I was amazed to see a young nuthatch crawling headfirst down a the trunk of a tree in my garden to bully the great tits and blue tits off the bird feeders yesterday.  Didn't expect to see one this far from the woods.

      some titles are "protected" ie you have to have certain qualifications and be registered with the supervising council https://www.hcpc-uk.org/about-us/who-we-regulate/the-professions/ Dietician is registered and protected Nutricionist is neither. Anyone can claim to be a nutricionist or chiropracter etc

      It didn't occur to me to ask. No idea if dieticians are employed within the NHS. It is just one line of enquiry among others. The GP mentioned it, not me.

      I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
