Title: Danger Is Babies' Middle Name - Literally!
Post by: Barman on March 29, 2010, 10:22:57 AM
Quote from: Sky
Only time will tell if Australian twins Billie and Ridley Lampard begrudge their parents for giving them the middle name, Danger.

Source (http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Strange-News/Australias-Danger-Twins-Middle-Name-Of-Billie-And-Ridley-Lampard-Is-Danger---Literally/Article/201003415586322?f=rss)

Quote
Proud dad Glenn told Australia's Herald Sun newspaper he always wanted to claim the expression, "Danger is my middle name", for himself.

Instead, he and wife Amy bagged it for their kids - officially naming their newborns Billie Danger Lampard and brother, Ridley Danger Lampard.

It was the way it was used as a double barrel thing when I was younger...horrible

I wanted to have an androgenous name when I was a kid , like Charlie, Phil etc - not sure what my thinking was behind that now  rubschin:

Inspector Morse kept his name a secret for a long time ~Turned out it was Endeavour.
Captain James T Kirk of the USS Enterprise was blessed with "Tiberius".

OK they were fictional characters but Miss D's middle name can't be that bad.

Ok, I'll give you all a laugh. Mine is Cadwallader. Stangely enough I don't use it.

On the subject of strange names, I went out with a girl called Sherriann. Bad enough, but her surname was Orange.

MrsS#2 has Jane as her middle name.


My poor mother was to be called Helen Olive but her father got drunk and maudlin on the way to register her birth and added in "Nellie" after the "only female that never let me down". So Mum's birth cert reads Helen Olive Nellie XXXXXXX (Surname withheld by me for obvious reasons)

When questioned about "only female that never let me down" Grandfather revealed that Nellie was the name of the horse that carried him through South Africa in the 2nd Boer War.

Grandmother and Mum never forgave him

My Birth Cert only has my first name on it.

No one noticed until I re-married and they said it would have to be recorded as an AKA.

Everything has both my names on it though, NI, passport, tax etc.

I was confirmed - by a bishop.

There once was a Bishop from Birmingham
Who interfered with young boys whilst confirming them
At odd times he'd pause
Whip down their drawers
And slip the Episcopal worm to them

Oh I "believe" ....... I just don't like organised religion.



I simply object that any person feels it right to stand between me and my maker and offer excuses on my behalf. Particularly when you look at those who appoint themselves to that position.
