    Yeah, presumably the McDonalds being referred to was in Ireland, not on the way to the Acropolis. The fact a name is popular *somewhere* doesn't stop it bring rare as ****, and thus worthy of light hearted derision on an internet discussion board in Ireland.

    Go back to what I said about sorting CV's.
    Then you add in Machine Learning, those names are never going to make it to the top of the pile and will be dumped in the bin before they are read.

    I admit that I did consider Pax (Latin for peace) as a second name for my first born as he was born the day the IRA called their ceasefire.

    If you had a daughter, you could have used the Greek for peace, Irene. Even sounds similar to IRA! :pac:
