That's a relief. My brother and I were named after our grandfathers, in a way. My brother has the same two names as our paternal grandfather but reversed in order and my middle name was also my maternal grandfather's middle name.

Let's hope they didn't use the awful US thing of Fred Blog II or of course Fred. J. Blog II as those yanks love the full name bit. Kai - are you sure that his missus wasn't saying "'Kin'ell Wayne" when she saw little-uns ears and she was just misheard?

Someone suggested it was 'Mrs Wayne's' wishful thinking or maybe her guilty conscience. _________________ Leaves your gusset lemon fresh...

Our kids don't have middle names either - I can't see the point at all, it never gets used. On the subject of funny names I knew a bloke called Mike Hunt - he was doing a job at a local workshop when there was a phone call for him. The receptionist did a tour of the place asking, "has anyone seen Mike Hunt?" _________________ Andrew L Back to top DaveGibson Supercharged My Car: Lexus IS250 SE.

The receptionist did a tour of the place asking, "has anyone seen Mike Hunt?" A line immortalised in the film 'Porkies'. I dealt with a staff agency back in the eighties whose rep had the same name. Oddly enough, he always identified himself as Michael Hunt.
