Wossis name

[woofmarkthedog]

What's in a name ?

Kai Rooney for example ,is it me or does it jar when run by your ears, no doubt he's a sweet little baby but what possesses people when it comes to names ?

The woman down the road from me is called Terrie-lee

Her children are called;

Alfie

Shanie

Tillie

Mollie

Harvey ( pronounced 'arvey ) usually followed by "get 'ere you little bart'"

You would think that someone would run the names by a friend or husband/lover to see how they scan, but no not here. Each name when shouted at full tilt is capable of setting a car alarm off, when done together it rattles the roof tiles however , perversely I listen out for it as I do secretly enjoy it

Conversely, a lady at my sons gymnastic club has an energetic & unruly child aged about 4. This little darling is called William. Mummy is classic pure bread bonkers english posh , her voice is not unlike Cybil in Fawlty towers when she barks "Basil" at Mr Fawlty.

Now that voice is combined with a pitch that could sharpen knives, with a clipped delivery that seems to have dissected all the vowels out of "William" so it now comes out as "WLLM"

Boy do I like that, yes sir I could listen to him being called again and again, again and again, again and again every week & what a fun filled hour that it is.

I had considered having my ears syringed sometime soon but now i think I'll wait a while

Oh and incase this sounds a bit snooty I chose my children's names in a really simple but practical way, I took Mrs W**F to the park and shouted the various choices like you would calling your dogs,.

Tom & Sam worked best, easy & neat when followed by a whistle

Good boys

If my dad had had his way I'd have been called Horatio after Lord Nelson who was his hero. Fortunately for me my mum wouldn't stand for it and they christened me Noni Noni, Trousernake Daffodil instead.

I did try to get Mrs W**F to agree to our youngest being named "Ike "

She was having none of it ( lucky Samuel I say now )

I agree that caution should prevail.

Some friends of a devout Christian mien (if mien is the word I'm seeking), naturally took inspiration from the Bible and named their first-born Goliath.

At school, all the other girls teased her mercilessly.

And every David took it upon himself to have a pop.

But if it hadn't, imagine the envious glances you'd have got when The BeeGees released Fanny Be Tender With My Love.

Bet you were sick as mud at the time.

Indeed, should anyone tell you the brothers Gibb lack humour, remind him of Fanny and see him turn tail.

Though I was once told that there was a Russian tailor round the corner by the name of Serge Suitt, but I'm not falling for that one.

Some people must think us silly.
