    So, semi OT, how long before some boardsie wanders in and takes offence at their name being mentioned...or are most of them likely to just keep it buttoned for fear of more abuse?

    Perhaps I was a year out. It was a Marian Year and the Catholics went wild with the Marys:)

    My boyfriend went to school with a girl called Theresa Green :)

    I went to school with a Dorcas also. I wonder if she is the same one everyone else knows?
    It's a shame that her name became an American slang term during her childhood.

    Considering the high number of Johns in the world and probably on boards too and it has already been mentioned. I'm sure nobody here would get offended because somebody else thinks there name is crap.

    I really like the name anges, but thats probably because the only anges i know is hot and french
    Hell, her name could be Anges stalin hitler bin ladin and i'd still be fine with it.

    Well let's face it, if you've got a problem with the name John, you've got more issues than the people with that name. I was talking more long the lines of the left-of-field ones.

    Terrence is a lovely name BTW...
