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?

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:
