You see this thread would be even funnier if Loddrik was your real name. Please tell me it is, go on, please…..
I think the whole naming your children thing takes place in some kind of alternative universe for most parents. It’s as if there is some sort of temporary suspension of common sense, maybe it’s the hormones, I don’t know.
All I do know is that when we were expecting Ethan, for a brief period, I was absolutely convinced that ‘Willoughby’ was a great name for a boy and no amount of convulsive horror expressed by friends or family could shake my faith in that fact.
I haven’t got the faintest, freakin idea what leave I took of my senses, but I am glad that I came round before we came to sit down in the registry office and declare him as Ethan James, rather than Willoughby James.
