[kj] Great names

[Mike Cooper]

Dwayne Pipe - gotta a ring to it.

We have got a chap at work whose surname is Wanklin and the poor bloke works 
on the telephones.  If passing you often hear him saying "yes it's Wanklin - 
W A N K L I N"  he's a lovely lad but you would change that one wouldn't 
you?

I went to school with Gordon Bennett as well.  The amount of "Gordon 
Bennett - Gordon Bennett" he had to put up with would have sent him mad.

Mind you my son is Austin Cooper - a car, which we never realised at the 
point of naming.  It was only when I went back to work and had mini's all 
over my desk that I realised.  Still wouldn't change it though - Austin 
being the name of my favourite late uncle!!  We never gave in to people 
wanting us to call our daughter Minnie!!!
