Had to pick up at an address I know to be a Women's Refuge this morning.  (Frequency of pick ups at them will always surge this time of year especially over the Xmas Days themselves.)

The customer's name was Kantini.

There she was, mid 20s with two little fellas.  In they get.  We've gone no more than a few hundred meters when one of the young kids asks me, bright as a button....'What's your name?'

'Aussie, what's yours?'

He replies, 'Alcoha.'

'Huh?' says I.

Mum confirms, 'Alcoha.'

Anyone want to join any dots?

Surname = Hol?

or Aliminium

Did mum have tattoos on the back of her neck?

Nah.  (Well, none that I saw.  Think not.)

The three had a safe 'vibe' but the names just blew my mind.

Yeah..... we are looking at a generation of children with made-up names.  I get a genuine laugh occasionally when I see the names some of our kids are given today.

They will spend their lives spelling them out for people... or.. perhaps an old-fashioned assessment.

Names like Kaeliagh  and  Sharikha and Lataya and
Bayleigh  :) ::)

Waste of damned fine woman flesh.... you need the Daily Blag tattooed on her back so you've got something to read as you.. work.... daily renewal of tattoos must be hell...

WTS IS it with women these days and tattoos?

Damn - that makes Molly, Julius, Lukas (his mother is of German stock), Ashlyn (we're around 80% Irish) and Hunter sound tame.... my kids and grand-kids...

One of my half-sisters had a daughter named Bianca - she called her 'Anka' - read it for yourself... the father was a junkie and possessive as hell... my brother and I once hunted the streets for him after he beat that half-sister senseless and dumped her naked in a Maroubra street... not a joke... I'm getting it together in my writings....

Alcoha?  Aluminium cans of Alcohol caused you to be germinated, kid.... without it you'd never have been.......   :o

Footnote:-  Also had a mate with a Vietnamese wife, who The Skull shook up in a telephone box one evening - we hunted him with guns .... not a joke...  DVA shrinks never want to get too close to me and my mates sometimes... they really don't...... and we don't talk much... but at my age I don't give a damn, my dear....

And they make my kids names look tame! Welsh and Irish names.

edit: After thinking about whether I should say... Owen, Connor and Aidan. Grandkids, Samus and Elyssa.
Elyssa is spelled like that because it can be literally translated into Kanji, she's half Nip.

Hush - you old conservative you...  my son nearly became Miles, or Nolan, after his mother's mother from Dublin's maiden name, but a sister-in-law beat us to it....

Hush - and there be Christopher Nolan of Hollywood and his brother who writes and produces 'Person of Interest'... my kid's second cousins.....

Not a close clan, though.... just like mine... and I receive no benefit from the association.....

I have a niece called Moon, and a nephew called Hena.
I have great- niece called Schiehallion and  great-nephews called Bailey and Duke.  ::) Go figure. :-?

Why do parents do that schit?  Really,.......every time I get a job to pick up a (for example) 'Moon' or 'Storm,' I already have an inbuilt skepticism.  "It's gonna be another loser."

No-one yet has joined the dots on 'Kantini' and 'Alcoha.'

:)

My name's Gordon. My daughter's name is Gordenia. My wife's name is Gordilinda. Next born if a boy will be Gordon Jr.

My dogs name is Aisha.

If I had a dog, I would call it either Spot or Fido.

If you had more than two what would you call them?

Rover or Patch

Welll you know Aussie ? I couldn't be bothered trying to join the dots.... why don't you just tell us what you are thinking here.

My niece Moon, was the offspring of my brother and his thai wife. Beautiful girl... the second oldest of four girls...   oh and one boy. His name on the BC is Tom.

When I asked my sister-in-law what Moon meant, she looked at me , then pointed to the sky.  ::) :-[

OOh Oh that reminded me...  my thai sister-in-law's younger brother was hoping to come to Oz ,  ( this is many moons ago yeah? :) )  and they halfheartedly wanted to know if I'd consider marrying him.   
His name (not sure of spelling or meaning in English) was Cock.  Fair dinkum. :)

Oh yeah, and Schiehallion is apparently the name of a Mountain in Scotland. The Mountain of the Faerie.   Truth.!!

How many nieces do you have and isn't it a bit difficult?  Or is she a time-lord and just keeps regenerating?

Edit: One way to get some cock I suppose.

:) Um I have quite a few, but only one Moon. I also have a Rhonda, a Shireen, a Dana and a Penny. As for great-nieces and nephews..?
Sadly My family and I are estranged... Schiehallion has a younger sister whose name I can't remember..... there are probably some others I don't know about. (Such is Life)

Cock went back to Thailand after a short holiday..

Raven went to school with a Sidney Arbor

Oh and meet a nice French girl named Anita Hanjobe
