AMALIA HELENA ANNMARIE Zwart


Amalia Zwart, meet the girl who is going through school known as I'm Only A Wart. She's here, in this mirror...

DARCEY ZINNIA Stapleton


Clearly, this is Darcey after the ballet dancer and Zinnia after the flower, so is it wrong of me to hope that she grows up to be an 18 stone lorry driver?

Thought not.
BOUDICCA XANTHE Llewellyn

(1) No-one outside Sheepland can spell or pronounce your surname, so why are you saddling your daughter with equally unspellable, unpronounceable forenames?

(2) When you come down to breakfast one morning and she's glued the kitchen knives to the wheels of her pushchair, you've only got yourselves to blame, OK.
POPPY FLORA LOLA Jonas - a sister for Otto

Oh come on, how much alliteration does one girl need. And 'Otto Jonas' sounds like the sort of name a cheap high street shop brands their clothes as because no-one who has been within spitting distance of a fashion college would touch their lines with a bargepole.

MORRIS BARNABY BRACHER Griffin


Four surnames????
HUGO DANTON ANGELL Everard

Leaving aside the fact that Everard is no name for a child, do these people not know what happened to Georges Danton? Maybe we can expect little Robespierre and Desmoulins to be along soon. Oh, not to mention the use of Hugo. Tres Miserables, ne c`est pas?

WYNDHAM BLAKE Winterburn - a brother for Walter and William.

An unnatural obsession with the letter W leads me to think that the Winterburns are the sort of Ws that rhyme with the bankers they almost certainly are.
