My g g aunt Bella's (from Suffolk) real name was Etheldreda. Appropriate, as Saint Etheldreda was an East Anglian princess, a Fenland and Northumbrian queen and Abbess of Ely. Etheldreda, in a modern context is Audrey. |

We had one Fijian boy at the school where I worked and his name was Head Accountant, and there was another one named after the company Burns Philp. They seemed to think they were honourable names.. this was probably in the days when Fiji played Rugby in their bare feet. |

As has been stated these children can always change their name when they become adults. However, in this country the only one you cannot change is your baptismal names. |

This is absolutely true. When my niece was at school she was friends with two sisters named Crystal and Chardonnay. My lovely old Auntie who was slightly deaf and tended to get confused always called them Champagne and Crimplene. It was so difficult not to call the girls by these names. |
