True story. Was in M and S in Liverpool some years ago. A small child was playing up and thumped her smaller sister. Both girls were dressed in those completely over the top frilly frocks that were popular at the time. The mother turned to the offending child and said "Ey Bathsheba don't you hit our Lydia" There was a stunned silence as those in earshot turned to stare at Bathsheba.

Girl who dated a mate was also named Bathsheba...jewish name. Everyone called her Beth

I worked in the far east where locals regularly have a western ( ish ) nick name that's used informally at school, uni and work in lieu of their regular / unpronounceable / non internet friendly real name.

Kids in the local school were often 'Jamie' ' sun ' , ' river ' or even 'golf'. Ones that stand out from memory are 'CD' and ' Webcam', the latter also being good at English and named after how his parents met.

I kid ye not.

Where was that? China?

What's happened to normal names for kids?

Seriously there's some children now who should hate their parents when they're older.

They sound like either jarg porn stars or pet names.

you can talk with what the gypsies who found you like a modern day moses in the bulrushes at the back of the canal called you.

ps...*whispers; are you really going to lead us to the promised land??
