I have some long time neighbors who have a son whose name is 'Champ". For the longest time I thought it was a nickname,or at the very least a middle name with a proper or Christian name as his first name. Sure enough,when I started working some years ago at the election polling place he came in to vote. He showed his ID as required and there he was in the registrar listed as Champ. I just can't imagine naming a child this. In this case it's even more unbearable as he is 45 years old and still lives at home ,doesn't work (not because he can't)and is quite the loser.

Flex Plexico? Sounds like a guy who would perform an unnatural act on himself.

An American woman living here has the surname Beetlestone. Her husband died a while ago - why didn't she use her maiden name after that?

Baz:
Might have something to do with the estate, or financial. Also, she probably doesn't have any credit established under her maiden name.

You do not want to get on the wrong side of any Marine, whatever his name is.!!!! Kirk is a fomer Marine and as the saying goes; there are no ex-Marines. They are not soldiers, they are Marines!

Or she loved her husband and wanted to keep her name. It's not that peculiar. I think it has a certain dignified ring to it.

True Bixa, I just took that as a given.

It never even crossed my mind that parents would try so hard to forge manliness in their babies until I came across this site: Baby boy names with serious swaggerI wonder if such names would become a handicap if your son wants to become a ballet dancer.

Some of them are just normal Germanic or Celtic names, but others are the male equivalent of ... stripper names.
But Enzo? (Enzos are usually Vincenzos; the Enzo I know best is a quiet, brilliant scholar and no taller than Lionel Messi). They could also be Lorenzos, like my Renzo.
