With the news that the Devil has once again decided to place his spawn on the Earth, I have been inspired to look at the names people give their children. Being a teacher, I often come across amusing or unusual names... I once had a Grant Mitchell for example, who did wear a leather jacket and had the idea he ruled the Manor (or playground as we call it). There has also been a Lilly and Daisy Bunch. That's just unkind don't you think? John Thomas is another.

Celebrities however think it OK to give their children stupid names. As if the poor Beckham children are not going to have their heads shoved down the toilet just for having HIM for a father and HER for a mother... as if that wasnt enough they tell the world where one was conceived, (I am not sure 'Chadwell Heath' would be such a good name. *sigh. ), issue the second with a pathetic attempt to look cultured and give the last one a girl's name. Perhaps they know their kids will be visiting the blue goldfish anyway so what they are called will make no difference.

Then there is Apple, Moon Unit, Bamboo, Calico, Dixie-Dot, Dweezil, Fifi Trixibelle, Frances Bean, Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily, Horse, Phoenix Chi, Zowie, Shith'ead (yes that's real)...

So many more but I am losing the will to live.
