	It would not have been much of a change had she married him.

	Trumps lady friend prior to the current Mrs T was called Celina Midelfart. :-0

	A rose by any other name ..... When you are given two Christian names you have more choice. :-D I grew up knowing we were going by the wrong surname and it never bothered me a jot. Still doesn't. Anyway, I wonder if Trump is aware that some people use his name when asking children if they have "broken wind" - crazy isn't it but we are not the only family I know to use that expression. :-0

	LOL Winchester a sea side town that would be interesting.....then again it would rather prove his point to some degree.
Member Since: January 2004 Posts: 16,020 Send Message	Sharron	Report	1 Feb 2017 11:20
	I think so. Of course,if he was holding back the sea at Winchester, he made a very good job of it!

	Do you mean Cnut? He was buried at Winchester wasn't he.

	one of many possible sites :)
Member Since: January 2004 Posts: 16,020 Send Message	Sharron	Report	1 Feb 2017 10:47
	Oh,right. He was supposed to have done the sea bit at Bosham.
Member Since: September 2005 Posts: 9,108 Send Message	Caroline	Report	1 Feb 2017 10:37
	The one that tried to hold back the sea ??...yes.....road named after him and he was in Southampton when declared King....are we allowed to mention the name ? :)
Member Since: January 2004 Posts: 16,020 Send Message	Sharron	Report	1 Feb 2017 10:35
	I didn't know the gentleman I referred to had any connection to Southampton either.
Member Since: September 2005 Posts: 9,108 Send Message	Caroline	Report	1 Feb 2017 10:25
	Sorry I was saying that as the person to whom you refer as a possible name does have connections with Southampton.......No idea with Rollo......
Member Since: January 2004 Posts: 16,020 Send Message	Sharron	Report	1 Feb 2017 10:16
	He does? I prefer to not think about his connections!
Member Since: September 2005 Posts: 9,108 Send Message	Caroline	Report	1 Feb 2017 10:14
	So he has a Southampton connection then...??
Member Since: January 2004 Posts: 16,020 Send Message	Sharron	Report	1 Feb 2017 10:00
	Anyway,having considered all the little clues he has given on this thread, I think I have worked out what Rollo's real given name is. I think he must have been named after a king, that Danish one. Oh,you know,he tried to hold back the sea.

	Should we cast a spell over misspelling?
Member Since: August 2003 Posts: 15,575 Send Message	Guinevere	Report	1 Feb 2017 08:36
	I have an unusual Christian name and a board name that some find hard to spell. I can't get worked up about it, I know if someone means me. After a lifetime of misspelling I really can't find it in me to care.

	My maiden name is unusual, most people get both the pronunciation and spelling wrong, then try to tell me where it probably came from (what would I know) - and how it SHOULD be pronounced! One of the reasons, when I divorced, I kept my married name :-D
