What is in a name?

Sometimes I think of something and as stupid as it might be I just start smiling

There is one joke that I was sent years ago that when I even think about it I started to laugh (not always inwardly either) it was that funny

Anyway, was thinking yesterday about people who name their kids after famous people, places of their conception, sporting teams and the like.

I know my ex-wife would have guess if our son had been named John, Paul, George or Ringo, but she never really understood the significance of "James" (as in James Paul McC) when I suggested it - so I got that one through the censors!

But what made me smile yesterday was talking about a guy called Patrick and me wondering if anyone in Scotland was named Patrick Thistle in homage to the football team up there - Partick Thistle. The answer is probably not and it is not even funny, but it lifted a otherwise dull day for me!

PS My mate Mike got "Astrid" (as in Kirchherr) past his censors - sweet as bro!
