    I wanted to call my son Taylor, but the wife vetoed it.

    I once had a pair of axolotls. The black one was called Luther and the white one Ross. Unfortunately, Luther beat up Ross, who got an infection and died. Then Luther got killed by a fox, which is unusual for an axolotl.

    If managers are included, Joker would make an intriguing middle name.

    I did mention to my Lithuanian wife at the time that I wanted to call our first-born son "Liuteris". She pointed out that her extremely conservative Catholic father would be very angry is we named him after the "founder" of the protestant faith... I left it at that.

    “At the time”: have you had a succession of Lithuanian wives, then?

    I'm just relieved that Jazzi Barnum-Bobb never made it beyond the academy

    Was it a fox in the box ?

    There's been several cases where people have named their kids after all the members of a football squad.
    There was one such famous case in the 1960's when a Liverpool fan named his child after their entire team, plus manager. His daughter that is...

    Her name is Miss Paula St. John Lawrence Lawler Byrne Strong Yeats Stevenson Callaghan Hunt Milne Smith Thompson Shankley Bennett Paisley O'Sullivan.

    Our 20 year old lad is called Paco Talisca. I’ll admit I had high hopes it might have meant more this year than the name of the Spanish bar he was conceived in.

    No, it nicked him from a tank in the garage. I've been trying to think of something snappy that rhymes with garage - 'the fox had a forage in the garage' - doesn't really work, does it?
     
  20. It does with a posh accent - a foraaj in the garaaj

    Not many sensible names in the current squad for UK babies at the moment.

    I’m gonna call our impending child, Adelberto.

    And he/she will still have a better chance of ever turning out in yellow than Mr Penaranda.
