What annoys you?

‘Jasper’ for a boy is ok.
But if you spell it ‘Giaspa’ I’m going to punch you in the head.

I have friend called Sapphira (it’s Sapphire but in Hebrew and she is not Jewish)

Gets called Sapphy most of the time.

Met a boy called Crimson a few years ago.
Actually, if my name were Crimson I’d wear an eye-patch and talk like a pirate.

My sister always laughs about a kid on Jeopardy (Kids Week) named Cerulean (a shade of blue).

I don’t know what his mums were thinking…and he was the sort of kid who just needs a punch in the nose.

rule of thumb, don’t name your children, especially daughters after shiny things.

2018 members scarfe.

LOL yep the early reviews aren’t promising.

People underrate how hard it is to design a good black and red scarf.

Donate to the Scarf Plan.

Many moons ago, I worked with a girl named Topaz.
I thought it was interesting and unique.

Not sure how Deckham will view the above entry though ?

I think it’s wise to not name your child after a virtue that could turn out to be ironic.

I’d call this year’s scarf a rather minimal effort at “design”.

Chocolate assortments don’t have a hard option anymore.
Like a peanut brittle, or a toffee, or…anything like that.
Just asking for one in there.

Deckham hawks and spits at the name ‘Topaz’

So you worked at a strip joint, sorry…gentleman’s club?

Cannot remember.
We’re talking mid 90’s.

She’d be around 40 years of age now.

No, not a strip club…unfortunately.

Did she have a dark brown voice?

I always chuckle at the old story of Brian Lara naming his daughter Sydney after scoring his first test hundred there…someone said it’s lucky he didn’t score it in Lahore.
