This game appeared on FB today - it's fun and not meant to be offensive. In response to Jacob Rees-Moggs naming of his latest child the challenge is to create your own high Tory name. You take the forename of one of your grandparents and then hyphenate the name of the road on which you grew up with the name of your first headteacher.

Mine is Louise Keogh-Salmon- not very impressive I'm sure you can do better. grin

Can we have Labour-sounding names as well?

eg Rebecca Long-Bailey? Barbara Ayrton-Gould, Ifor Huw Irranca-Davies, Robert Kilroy-Silk?

Or does it have to sound like a Tory and what is the difference please? confused
