Yeah "Moans of The Day" could put some readers off visting your posts, but Island life is good, as long as you write/type about island Life as YOU see it. Interesting, I like changing things about too, not the furniture though, I'm not that brave/foolish, but the bits'n'bobs that Herself calls Ornaments, huh, yeah, Dust Gatherers more like, so I've taken over your moans of the day, sorry about that, Cheery..

Guess I am a traditionalist: children should be named after family or friends (or godparents). In extremis, there is always the Bible, probably the Old Testament.

There will be at least once while the child grows up that they will hate their name and hate you for picking it. It usually happens after another child has figured out a way to make fun of your child's name. Well that's my opinion, and I'm sticking to it.
