287223 2004-11-03 19:57:00 OK, Here's the breaking news.

The concept is not all that unusual, it differs only in the choice of Arabic instead of Roman numerals. The Yanks have been doing it for years with names such as Henry Ford IV, Josiah Upimself III or even the quite mundane Commonorgarden Name II.

Funny thing is, they never do the retro thing to identify the progenitor of the Dynasty. He just remains invisible among all the rest of his unrelated namesakes.

Note we were spared George Bush II, probably because Bush the Elder couldn't count past 1 in roman numerals but could remember his alphabet right up to dubya.

Cheers

287226 2004-11-04 00:24:00 Just look in the birth announcements or the pics of new babies in the local newspapers to see what some are actually calling their kids these days. V2.0 is actually quite normal sounding compared to some! Jester (13)

287229 2004-11-04 02:59:00 So long as you continue to post sarcastic comments WTF, I'll be here getting under your skin, I'm not going anyplace soon. If you don't like it, try being civilised, or polite, or better still, staying away from your keyboard when you feel the urge to have a hack at somebody just because they don't fit your vision for the future of the human race.

Manners maketh the man.

Good manners and a civil tongue maketh an even better man.

Bugger eh . . . the funny thing about this is I upset you a lot more than you upset me - but I guess being as self-important as your self thats to be expected .

He asked a question, I gave an answer which pointed out the very real problems associated with naming a kid something dumb, and the fact that his joke wasn't exactly original .

Just quit the toy police game already .

Billy:
Just take it easy. You and I both hate to see people get abused, but you're not making my job any easier - You appear to go right for the bait that WTF is setting for you.

whtafo:
You're not making this any better for yourself - Your rap sheet doesnt look good boyo. You do provide some useful input into this community, but I have to wonder if its really worth it for the hassle you cause?

End of discussion.
