Not a kids name but a girl I went to school with married someone with the last name Cocks and when she went to submit her change of name form the lady at the counter said to her it must be true love if she's willing to change her name to Cocks.

Yep I knew that. Almost punched someone once when they assumed I'd named my daughter because I was a big Bruce Willis fan! Now I like an action movie as much as the next guy, but come on!

More about the way the poster snootily parodies the "sarf london" accent than anything else.

My favourite name story was from years ago when I was a librarian joining a family of blonde blue eyed sisters, 4 or 5 of them. All had common names until the 2nd last, she had an African name I kid you not. Turns out one of the sisters was asked to name her and she choose the name of her then best friend to give to her little sis. Wish I could remember the name involved.

I also signed up 2 young brothers, aged around 4 and 5, and they were called exactly the same thing. No numbers or anything, just John Patrick..Surname and John Patrick...surname.

    • @HeadNun I haven't been through the assessment for mental health issues, god knows they treat you like you have one when you are assessed for motability issues. Therefore I can't comment on what you've read but don't always believe what the media telks you as they often sensationalise things to sell papers and bend the story slightly 😉  All I am doing in this thread is asking people who disagree to the PIP reform in its current format to write to their MP to say so and ask for a well consulted and thought through change. I'm not here to change people's minds but happy to discuss how disability impacts lives.
    • I hate the idea of someone with a genuine disability losing money, it's heart-breaking. I thought the whole idea of these cuts was to get kids with mental health issues, which we used to call 'the human condition', off benefits and into a job. Before anyone says anything, I'm not talking about people with severe autism.  If the tests are so astringent, Spartacus, how come healthy youngsters with anxiety are getting benefits? It's ludicrous.  This from The Times:  Then there is mental health. This is the fastest-growing category of claim; anxiety and depression is now the single biggest reason to claim PIPs, accounting for 16 per cent of spending. Including problems such as autism and ADHD, there are 1.4 million people claiming for “psychiatric disorders”, almost 40 per cent of the total.   NHS figures on Thursday found that 23 per cent of people of working age now have a mental disorder, up from 18 per cent a decade ago, rising to 26 per cent in 16 to 24 year-olds. Young people are most likely to claim benefits for mental health problems and there is growing concern about a generation who may do so for decades. The number of children on disability living allowance, the precursor to PIPs, will reach a million by the end of the decade, double pre-Covid levels. Most of these are for behavioural problems such as ADHD or learning disabilities
