[QUOTE] How many names are actually 'English' then? I would guess that most have some Viking/Saxon in them[/QUOTE] heh. I've no idea how one would define an 'english' name. As you well know, I was just taking the piss out of the mildly exotic ones you've chosen. [QUOTE] not very interesting but I was looking through soem sites and found that Neil means Champion. Were your parents trying to drum something into you? Or were they thinking you may suffer an inferiority complex.[/QUOTE] I'm well aware of this amusing coincidence, but coincidence it is cos my parents had no idea of it when they chose my name. Of the various complexes I host, I don't think inferiority is one of them.
