Life, and parents can be so cruel. Used to know somebody called Michael Robert Brian Johnson. He was never best pleased that his parents never gave his initials much thought… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Regarding boring names - I used to know a lad called David who had two brothers. Stephen and John. Stephen, John & David. Why even bother giving them names at all if that's all the effort you're going to put into it. With apologies to all the Stephens, Johns and Davids of P&B. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate John's dad and grandad are also called John. To avoid confusion within the family, the older Johns are universally known as Jack and Jocky. Why not just give your son a different name to start with if you're going to confuse your family for generations? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Older P&Bers may remember watching Dr. James Burke on telly. A scientist who explained things in a way even us normal people could understand. This popped up on my Fizzbook page this morning. The Greatest Shot in TV History Obviously, the greatest shot in TV history was Archie Gemmell's goal against Holland but this is still worth a watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we don't have suffixes after the name like the Yanks do. "Joseph Biden Jr." - the man is eighty, FFS. How old does he have to be before he can drop the 'Junior' bit? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Wait until you all discover the American tradition of passing names down three generations, with the third iteration going by the nickname "Tripp" as a result. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something that's always mildly amused me is Bear Grylls has 3 sons. "Jesse" which is arguably a normal name and then "Huckleberry" and "Marmaduke"... I can imagine Jesse playing his PS5 and looking outside the window to see Huckleberry and Marmaduke in the back garden scranning worms with Bear clapping in the background. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was going to name his next son after his favourite boxer until it was pointed out that 'George Foreman Grylls' wasn't really a good idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
