    And half the kids in the neighbourhood think it's for them. Isn't it always the way?

    The A-12 is an impressive aircraft alright, capable of cruising at Mach 3 at 85,000 ft.

    And as we all know, there's nothing kids like growing up more than being singled out as different.

    With apologies to songwriter Shel Silverstein:

    'A Boy Named X Æ A-12'

    Well my daddy left home when I was three
    And he didn't leave much to Ma and me
    Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze
    Now, I don't blame him 'cause he run and hid
    But the meanest thing that he ever did
    Was before he left, he went and named me X Æ A-12
    Well, he must o' thought that is quite a joke
    And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk
    It seems I had to fight my whole life through
    Some gal would giggle and I'd get red
    And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head
    I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named X Æ A-12
    Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean
    My fist got hard and my wits got keen
    Roam from town to town to hide my shame
    But I made me a vow to the moon and stars
    I'd search the honky-tonks and bars
    And kill that man who gave me that awful name
    Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
    And I just hit town and my throat was dry
    I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew
    At an old saloon on a street of mud
    There at a table, dealing stud
    Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me X Æ A-12
    Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
    From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had
    And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye
    He was big and bent and gray and old
    And I looked at him and my blood ran cold
    And I said: "My name is X Æ A-12 How do you do!?
    Now you gonna die!"
    Yeah that's what I told 'em
    Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes
    And he went down, but to my surprise
    He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear
    But I busted a chair right across his teeth
    And we crashed through the wall and into the street
    Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer
    I tell ya, I've fought tougher men
    But I really can't remember when
    He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile
    I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss
    He went for his gun and I pulled mine first
    He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile
    And he said, "Son, this world is rough
    And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
    And I know I wouldn't be there to help ya along
    So I give ya that name and I said goodbye
    I knew you'd have to get tough or die
    And it's the name that helped to make you strong"
    Yeah he said, "Now you just fought one hell of a fight
    And I know you hate me, and you got the right
    To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do
    But ya ought to thank me, before I die
    For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
    'Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you X Æ A-12
    Yeah what could I do, what could I do
    I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
    Called him my Pa, and he called me his son
    And I come away with a different point of view
    And I think about him, now and then
    Every time I try and every time I win
    And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him
    Bill or George! Anything but X Æ A-12 I still hate that name!

    As an english person, it's as easy to pronounce as about 80% of Irish first names.*





    *Having lived here for donkeys years I'm not quite as bad as I used to be.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    I cannot put into words how angry I am that twice...
    Fúcking twice...
    The spa in question mentioned naming the kid after their favourite plane the SR-17...

    It's actually the SR-71, but hey!
    Credit to auld apartheid boy Elon...
    He wasn't gonna name his kid Blackbird!

    Love how shes all " we dont want to assume the kids gender, we'll leave it up to them" but dives right in giving the kid a stupid ****ing name.

    Tallulah Riley was his previous partner (twice) and she's very nice.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    I believe he said that as a Joke

    I believe its a publicly stunt.
    Keep an eye on his share prices.

    There does seem to be some confusion between the parents on the gender of their child though...

    I heard someone say today, before naming your newborn, think of shouting their name across the supermarket, before you commit to it.

    I love Grimes, she's a really talented musician.

    But, she's obviously for the fcking birds.

    Well, in my single days, I was, certainly, known to “put it about”, J. Nothing wrong with that.

    I’d have had standards but after a few “shandies” who knows where things would go, the main thing was that both parties had fun.

    Have to say, I do find a lot of the “carry on” on this site, somewhat, disconcerting. Guys refusing to “knock one out” over a hot woman due to her politics beliefs, feminist stance or, most worryingly, her support of the #MeToo movement.

    A real man would never let those things get in the way of a good ****. Really smacks of “incel” behaviour.

    Yeah was just going to post that, Musk's fabulous wealth will always mark them out as being different to most kids, and it'll also mean they'll never have to interact with most kids either
