Where you named after anything?

Just heard the song 'Ben' and it always make me thing of my bf's brother, who was named after it. A song about a rat. hhmmm.

I don't think I was but my oldest brother got his name because before he came along my Mum had an eptopic pregnancy. She was told it was unlikely she would ever be able to have children. Some time after, she had a dream that she had a son called Paul. Within a few days of that dream she discovered she was pregnant and so named him Paul. She then went on to have 6 more. They named my sister Anji after a song but I don't think they were that thoughful with the rest of us, they just wanted to make sure we all had names people would automaticaly spell wrong or try to lenghten.

Were you named after anything?

That might be the one Dotty, I don't know it. I'm pretty sure the one she was named after was just an instrumental. But I might be wrong.

The puppeteer who worked Muffin the Mule..... and people wonder why I changed my name

[milly143]

Ah yeah, that'll be the one Doc. See, they even wanted to make sure people spelt her name wrong too by changing the spelling.

Did they do that on purpose Salla?

No - they never thought about it I suppose. I didn't 'twig' (Ha!) either until I was 12, started High School and some other clever so&so's started laughing at my name....
