Mine is a Welsh name, our first family cat was called this and lived to be 20.. I still miss her and she's long gone.

Mine comes from a 'dirty week end' in lovely Gloucestershire. For 'some reason' a village called Broughton Pogs became a silly word we shared.

Yes we did get wed but still use it. Too much information!! wink

It must be obvious what my given name is and as I was feeling my age, I decided to change to annodomini. Seemed appropriate at the time!
