AnnieP Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 OK: I have taught a Belcher Barnard, an Igor and numerous Florences and Josephines, Leilas, Kylies, Shannons, a Caiomhe (pronounced Keefa), Evie, Izzy, and of course, thousands of Emilys and Rebeccas etc. However, OH worked with an American colleague called Tammi "Ooops, word censored!"ov and an Israeli called Isaac Fuchs, pronounced the rude way. Thank God my parents called me something dull!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 And I thought Melanie was bad enough (when I was 8 in a school of 600 girls I was the only one ) Because Paul's got Irish parents we decided if we ever had kids they would be Podraig (porig) and Niamh (neeve)etc. - not because of the Irish roots - just think of the fun we would have watching them spell their names!!

Cinnamon Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Best name ever heard of? Annette Kerton. (yes, really)! I KNOW AN ANETTE KERTON!!!!!!!!! Unbelievable,isn't it? She actually calls herslf by her middle name,Alison- & I don't blame her. We had no idea she was even claaed anette until we got a wedding invite. My hubbys best mate is called Vernon Lorn Trimmings. And when I managed a shop I served a guy called Keith Klap ! My Girls have unusual names, Devon & Cleo. But I blame MY parents for lumbering me with the eversoboring Sarah (there were 6 Sarahs in my class at School!) Going back to the '80's thing - when I met The Hubby in 1983 (I think), I was wearing the following mouthwatering ensemble. Electric blue baggies rolled at the ankle & ripped to reveal Black fishnet tights underneath Black boxing Boots Red shredded T Shirt with a Black Shredded vest under Not quite hiding a red bra Pink Mohawk hair large back cobweb earrings Black nails, black lips, black eyeliner. The next morning, I went to see King in concert (remember them?), & REALLY dressed up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Your outfit sounds delicious!!! My mum would never have let me wear that, but I would have loved to! Got any pictures?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I don't want to even imagine the really dressed up outfit. Actually, OK I don't think my limited imagination could even dream up that ensemble. I was always so conventional, ripped & too tight jeans (done up by friends using a coathanger as I lay on the floor, breathing in for all I was worth ) were about as daring as I got Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachel19 Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Ok so i don't really remember that much of the 80's (was only born in 1984) but i do remember a rather fetching turqouise/white/pink shellsuit that i used to go out in........

Lesley Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I completely misread that and thought it was hubby to be who was wearing all that I haven't got over the red bra yet I wondered what on earth he was doing wearing that and why had you married him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 All picture have been destroyed. Although I do have one of me with a blue mohawk & a leather peaked cap (Frankie Style)....very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Lesley, Hubby was the ultimate Bad boy - leather biker jacket, ripped jeans etc. He had a ciggy in one hand & a stolen road sign in the other & I thought he was fantastic! I cannot quite believe I actually wore what I did, but it is such fun looking back on it now & knowing that I once was a daring young thing. I stick to bum-hiding kaftan tops & jeans these days - all somewhat larger than I used to wear too Believe it or not,we turned out to be a nice,normal family & Hubby is an honest,lovely man despite first impressions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I'm pleased to hear it wasn't him wearing the fish nets and red bra! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
