We have a son who would be Fama-Gee...or Famagusta.
Daughter would be Winchester, or maybe Worthy after the actual area.

Well my youngest would be Normandy ( Norman?? He'd love it, Im sure, actually he's called Peter!) and the two eledest would be Harrow, (Harry? What's the girls' version?)

My children are mortified by the fact we know where they were conceived! Always a great way to silence them if they are getting lippy. Oh yes, did I mention they are 25, 23 and 19?

I had to look twice at all those names Chris, lol

My son would be Mosta, (in Malta) or Gafa after the street name!

Last time we were there I took him to see the house where he was conceived and took a photo of it lol Within walking distance of the Mosta Dome Church where the bomb fell through the roof during Sunday Service during the war, but it rolled down the aisle and didn't go off. A real lucky time for all those at Mass or whatever it was.

There was something on tv last evening, can't remember what programme, where the first child was apparently allowed to chose his coming brother's name, he chose Skeletor from his favourite programme, and the parent's used it. Poor kid!

I think the Camerons used a place name of a nearby village when their daughter Florence was born early while they were on holiday in Cornwall.
Do you think if they had had a boy he would have been Zebedee?

I knew a girl whose mother had lived in the village where I was born, so when she had her daughter she named her after the village "Merryn" but she left the St out. Always reminded me of home.
