    Give that poor kid a water-based nickname early, like "Puddle", as it's probably going to be really bad if left to classmates down the line. Clever parents there, way to go to getting your child bullied.

    Zach and Jake and Josh are the bloody worst. Fine if you're a Yank. They seem to be into their aul Old Testament names over there. But it just sounds stupid, when some mother in Pennys is roaring at her little darling to be bleedin quieh !

    Hah, poor girl! I met a tour guide in the States who introduced herself as Gee. Not the way they says "gee", the way we say it. I was glad when the group split in two and I went with the other tour guide. I couldn't stop laughing at the start.

    Ophelia Heavenly.

    Saw it on Facebook today. (No joke).

    I think the name Ophelia is fairly nice to be honest! Heard it first in Pan's Labyrinth (the young girl).

    Is it a Spanish name? Pretty cool I think anyway

    Ofelia is the Latinate* form of the name afaik, Ophelia...hrm. Well, it appears in Shakespeare (Hamlet), so it was a "known" name in Shakespearean England. Huh, looked it up, and it's from a Greek word. Probably invented as a name by a 15thC poet for "Arcadia".


    *I may be using that term wrong - I mean in the Romance/Latin-influenced languages such as Spanish, Italian, French.

    Sounds like polyester materials from the 50s. Now introducing Rayon! Teflon! Nylon! Daylon! Taygon! And Joron!

    Yep,

    I think mister Benz named the car after his daughter....or Mr Daimler's daughter. Something like that.

    The car was named after the owner's designer's daughter I believe.
