My real name is indeed one of the above
So hooray. I can't remember the exact quote, but it's something on the lines of "the sweetest sound in the english language is that of someone's own name".
And what exactly
is wrong with the name 'Nigel'? I feel really left out now...
Mines in there
Am tempted just so the family can sing along.
That's everyone in the Word office covered
Apart from me.
*shakes fist at sky*
Fraser,
I feel your pain.
I'm married to a Gavin
and there aren't many Gavin songs. At least people can make plans for you, Mr. Bald...
Plans.
And didn't that make the late 70s/early 80s a joyous time for me! Thank you, XTC, thank you so much. PS Had the baby yet, Bickie?
Not yet...
...but baby bickie is due any day now!
I know another Nigel who used to work for British Steel, so the song was even more apt for him...
Well you have a list of names
to pick from and baby bickie can have their own song.
That's a great idea
When making a CD for my other half once I played a masterstroke by finding a great song with her name in, Annabelle's Song by Everclear. I had to change the title slightly for my homemade sleeve as her name is Anna and not Annabelle but it's the shortened version of the name that they sing in the chorus so she didn't notice.
Anyone else pull off the same trick? Surely there's isn't a man in the world married to a woman called Sarah who hasn't made her a mixtape with a certain Thin Lizzy song on it.
