Odd first names

watching Pointless this evening; and the name of one of the contestants was Rhapsody; apparently her sister is called Symphony :o

Whilst quirky, do some people just not think when they name their children?

Ria were they African? They often have very poetic names.

You do wonder what planet parents are on sometimes :oops: I count myself fortunate for being born a few weeks early, as my due date was the first week of April, and that’s what mum and dad were planning on naming me. Now April is a pretty name, I admit, but when your surname is Sewell (pronounced Sool), not so good :oops: :lol: :lol:
