Retro....curiouser and curiouser ! Are those Kiwi terms or just modern idioms that have passed me by ?

( by the way, I got told off at the weekend, by my nieces, for thinking that Taylor Swift was a boy ! ....well, what kind of name is Taylor for a girl ! )

[retrocop]

For sure. :-)

what kind of name is Ashley Madison? It's basically two female names these days. A lot of young American women have what were traditionally male names, I don't really know why. Cameron Diaz, Reese Witherspoon... and going back further, Glenn Close, Darryl Hannah, even Gene Tierney. And that's just the famous ones.

How about a boy called Lindsey ( Fleetwood Mac ) and a girl called Stevie (Fleetwood Mac again ), very confusing these Americans.

The world out there is indeed a complex and confusing place
