That's a spicy meatball!

My oldest's middle name is Daniel. Good sturdy name. Well done.

I suggested calling him names like Max or Frankie. When I found out that my sister was calling him Thomas, I was a bit disappointed that it was so unoriginal.

Yeah, 'cos Max and Frankie are names you've never heard before.

So, random, the relationship has come to this. Popping out more babies to give you something to share.

(Give him at least 3 middle names so he sounds posh.)

My mum did that. My brothers just dropped the more poncey ones.

What were the poncey ones?

Unlike Thomas, Max and Frankie go in and out of fashion. They were considered to be old men's names (think Max the Butler from 'Hart to Hart' or Cockney Gangster "Mad" Frankie Frasier) when I was a kid, in the '80s. Thomas, on the other hand, has never gone out of fashion. I did have a few more suggestions, but I can't remember what they were.

They'd kill me if I revealed, but one is the same name as a high street bank and used in a cockney rhyming slang phrase. It really doesn't suit my brother at all.
