I've just seen that a couple in Australia have named their new daughter Kviiilyn as they don't like the traditional spelling of Caitlin. What have they condemned that poor child to? Guarantee that most people will call her K-vill-yn. The parents think that this spelling makes her unique!

Dejeuner is lunch, diner is the evening meal.

When we were little we used to scream with laughter over the old family Elijah., it was Dad's middle name. Now fairly fashionable . My brother was relieved he had escaped.it for Christopher.

I knew a family with Elijah and Sarah. Naomi and Salome, Nehemiah, Ketchura, Ezekiel, and Priscilla

A religious family, BB? There's a wealth of 'interesting' names in the Old Testament.

Yes, I think so

Tuesday Weld was around mainly in the 60s, I only saw her in one film, and that was because it was an Elvis Presley film,
Wild in the Country. I believe that she was at one time married to Dudley Moore.
There used to be a British folk singer named Friday Brown.
