Alan_R Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Lived on a US military training base and there was a navy contingent. The first rank of any navy recruits is Seaman. I kid you not, there was a bloke called...........wait for it.......... Seaman Swallows Think I would have joined ANY other branch! How long ago was this? As I was just talking about this the other day. was just seaman swallow though, no 's'. Although I imagine theres been a few of the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Zowie Bowie, anyone? And Marc Bolan's son, Rolan? Regards the OP hearing of folk called "Summer", I knew of a lass who's surname was Loving (or at least sounded out as Loving) and her parents had given her the name Summa. By all accounts, she was a miserable sod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dix Handley Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Remember seeing one of those 5 minute docs on Channel 4 about some woman whos twin girls were stillborn. She had chosen faith and hope as thier names. At first i thought it was a mock doc but im convinced no-one could make that up. Extremely sad. Apologies, for the dour thread.

jamboinglasgow Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 My mum used to be a nursery nurse in Craigmiller and she had a child there called Teresa Green. I also worked a year ago, had to phone up companies and ask for their head of compliance, one day I phoned a company to be told that this person was "Ben Hur" pausing for a second as I was unsure whether it was a joke, the guy said "yes, it is honestly." I read a great book which had a chapter about names in america. Some of the best ones are a Dad named his two sons Winner and Loser. Ironicly, Loser became an important lawyer in New York and Winner is in Jail. The best one was the woman who was complaining about her sister, her sister had named her daughter what was pronunced Shiah Heed but was spelt S**T head. I also dont agree with bad spelling of names to make them unique, apparntly in america there are over 20 spellings of Jasmine alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
