Thank you! my friend had a boyfriend with that name when I was 14 or 15 and I always said if I had a boy that would be his name! He loves it as it is different - no other Nathaniels in the school!!!

I love nathaniel....alwasy have since i first saw Last of the Mohicans. I would have had it, but my cousins baby is nathan, and I figured if it does get shortened it could get confusing.

If your name is Charlotte, then yes, we do!

It is indeed! I have to say I like Lottie though (it was my Grandma's name) and if I ever had a little girl I would call her Lottie but I've never shortened my name at all. Some uni friends went through a phase of calling me Charlie but it never stuck and I always call myself Charlotte. Now I'm married my surname's a long one too-11 letters, so it's a nightmare if I ever want my name engraved on anything (not that I ever do!) :rotfl:

A friends' son is in the same situation. His first name is 7 letters and his last is 11. His parents have shorter first names (friends' is 4 and his wife's is 5)

Well I haven't learnt my lesson. Or little boy has his forename followed by THREE middle names and then our long surname, making his full name 32 letters in total! We've had it if we ever want to put his full name on anything! :rotfl:

PS. We do have very good reasons for doing this before anyone tells us we're daft! We wouldn't normally have done it but our rather unusual situation dictated it for us.

Its okay, I cant abide the word 'horrid' oddly enough, something the famous five would say...oh julian, how perfectly horrid of you, I am going to tell Aunt Fanny this MINUTE!!!!

We all have different opinions on things, thank goodness

Wouldn't the Famous Five have called her Arntie Frarncis?

Nope, it was always Aunt Fanny and Uncle Quentin. (Oh, the legacy of a childhood spent reading!)

Saturday morning Greek School..lovely.

'Really Greek' to me means my old boss - I answer the phone, take the message, thank the caller, walk into his office...

'Who is it, Ioanna?'

'Father xxxx'

'S%*£! The Priest! What does he want?'

'To talk about some idea he's had.'

'When?'

Now. He's on his way round' [Retrieving the icons from behind the door and giving them a dust over before placing them in easy view]

'S*$&! F£*@! B($&£**!' [plus lots of Greek words as he drags a tie out of the bottom of his desk]


I never remember anyone English, Scots, Welsh or even Indian reacting in such a way, but during the meeting, someone else came in the office with his best mate, they were a little noisy (and cheeky as ever). I whispered 'Shhh, he's got Father xxxx in there'

'The Priest? S$&£!'. Like a pair of naughty school boys, they were...

That made me chuckle in the office lol!!

I do Greek Lessons and my teacher Kostas would do exactly the same thing haha. I stay with a lovely Greek family when I go to Santorini and I love the mumbling of various swear words under the breath!

I know a guy would pronounces his nam Nicos but his friends always drop the s
