The names of some of the detectives in fiction are so weird.

Cormorant Strike
Hercule Poirot
Tuppence Beresford
Endeavour Morse

Can you think of some ?

Maggie - A 5 year old named Temperance was on tv news recently. She was very thoughtful and had supported a charity. She said she was sometimes called Tempy and didn't mind but preferred Temperance.

Thank you, Elrel, maybe Tempe is pronounced Tempy then. Though it seems a bit childish for a grown woman. smile
