Children's Names

If I'd been born a girl, I would have been called Claire Louise. So, fortunately, I was born a boy, because obviously my name is so much better than that...

I mention this because of the conversation I had with Steve Barkess at the weekend. It turns out that in the 20 years since I last saw him, he has, amongst other things, got married and had kids. And he's named his kids (both boys) Akira and Ulysses. Which I'm sure will delight them in later life.

Fabulous names. Not sure they'd be my choice, although I am warming to calling a child Akira, but fabulous names nonetheless. I think I'll stick with Jack & Edie should I ever have children.

Given that your real name is -

"Silas Hildebrande Hand-Shandy Ivor Teanci Coq P Jessup"

I'm reserving the right to (admittedly , as usual) disregard your opinions on this subject.

Having been Hanson, Chesney, Macauley (sp?) and many many others I am unsure of my feelings on the subject!

Heh. My Pornstar name would be a deeply unsatisfying Joey Greives.

I didn't know that Demelza was a Cornish name. It is a cool name. Love the photos on your site btw.

I'll send the one of Matt snogging me....
