    What about:

    Miles
    Steven
    Paul
    John
    Christian
    Lee
    Leigh
    Wayne
    etc etc etc

    Or is your point just a dig at the "Americanisation" of British society? Which is ironic in that the USA wouldn't exist in the first place were it not for British settlers.

    Apparently (and god knows how I know this) it's tradition for the first born male in the family in certain areas of the North East to be given a Surname as their Christian name. I think I should stop watching Extreme Fishing :)

    Haha.

    A lad at school was called Bradley Bradley, I **** you not. Or Brad Brad as we called him.

    He was from Lundwood. Might still be.

    I remember when I was growing up there was a guy in my street who was known as Double Ecky.

    His name was Alexander Alexander.

    HaHa he may have went on to do a lot of things but a League and Cup double for that lot was not one of them.

    TBH he'd have had to be a bit of a miracle worker to have done that.

    What's your opinion on this Iain Ligurs (?) we have on trial, Ian? Didn't he score a winner against the Arabs?

    Its Vigures mate. He possibly did score against us. Everyone else seemed to last season. I'd prefer not to remember. LOL

    TBH I really do not have an opinion on him. This is why I never made a comment on the thread. I know he has played against us but obviously never a stand out so as I'd have remembered him. Maybe more of a team player than a good individual. I just checked his stats. His best form seemed to have been with Ross County. But seems to be able to score where ever he has been. Not bad for a midfielder. So could prove a hit, you never know.

    Can't say I'm keen n surnames as a first name myself and I never trust anyone with two first names.

    When I used to do interviews under caution occasionally the punters would bring their kids in (usually so they would cry and disrupt everything) you had to get them to confirm the kids name on tape. I asked this one woman her kids name she says Deekeenee I said can you spell that she went DkNY. True story.

    LOL.
    Jimmy I used to go out with a woman who worked with the DHSS. When she started work there a prank was played on her.
    Part of her job was to call people for their interview. Someone handed her a name to call out.

    It was, Matitza Ritchie.
