Title: The names some customers give their kids.
Post by: Londoner on May 23, 2010, 09:47:29 am
I don't want to mention any specific names because I don't want to offend anyone on here but often when I am cleaning windows I am appalled by the choice of names that some people lumber their kids with.
Surely there must be a law against some of these names?

hey let me make it 100% !!!! clear i never married old vicar  gauntlet ,  i was marrying a woman on the day . "Gauntlet "just did the blessing and later christened one of my kids


 Gauntlet was married to a woman himself, yet only a few months after he performed my marriage ceremony he was caught wearing womens clothing in public toilets up in Norfolk.  he was charged with indecency and most likely fell from grace and i know he had to move out of his vicarage .funny old world !

  I know, I was joking  ;).
  Poor old Gauntlet. It doesn`t sound like he did too much wrong; to be charged with indecency anyway  :-\. Unless he was loitering with intent.

I know someone with the surname Kerr. He had to explain to a family member why it wouldn't be a good idea to call their son Wayne.  ;D

I do know of a child called Zeus.
