In fact I am sure the children of my school would have bullied any child with any name which wasn´t boring and ordinary. So there you are :) <BR/>The rules are less rigid today because we have had many immigrants and refugees, and of course people don´t expect them to call their daughters Dorte and Anne.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-57274288763189078792009-02-15T21:56:00.000+00:002009-02-15T21:56:00.000+00:00Dorte,I love the way his surname, Dalgleish, rolls...Dorte,<BR/>I love the way his surname, Dalgleish, rolls off the tongue and ends in shhhh. <BR/><BR/>Why are there such strict rules for naming children? <BR/><BR/>If I may suggest, you should read the Pullman books, I found them wonderful and go back to the every couple of years.Gavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12865699135545209220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-35622034603840987942009-02-15T10:54:00.000+00:002009-02-15T10:54:00.000+00:00Thank you for all your nice comments :)You are rig...Thank you for all your nice comments :)<BR/>You are right, Julia, I have a bunch of smart visitors, and I am sure you are one of them. <BR/>- and Bernadette, you certainly have a good point there!

I always thought Adam Dalgleish was perfectly named but then fictional characters often are as their creators know a lot more about them than our parents do when they name us.Bernadettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641617609801125707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-84125558878802443842009-02-15T01:31:00.000+00:002009-02-15T01:31:00.000+00:00Interesting post DorteInteresting post DorteKerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581470363339796352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-47435509828130458122009-02-15T01:00:00.000+00:002009-02-15T01:00:00.000+00:00What a bunch of smarties you've got, reading your ...What a bunch of smarties you've got, reading your blog.
